    Comic-Con: DC Universe Tackles Dark Knight Returns
    An adaptation of Frank Miller's seminal graphic novel was just one of the titles announced at tonight's Batman: Year One screening.

    EVENT COVERAGE
    Comic-Con 2011
    During the panel following tonight's premiere screening of DC Universe's animated original feature Batman: Year One, there was some exciting news to share in the world of DC animation.

    Just after the movie ended, executive producer Bruce Timm announced the lineup of upcoming animated titles. Next up will be the previously announced Justice League: Doom, followed by an adaptation of the one-shot Superman story Superman vs. The Elite. After that, the studio will return to the work of Frank Miller with its first ever two-part movie based on Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. "It's going to be very, very faithful to the comic," Timm reassured the audience.

    No casting has been announced yet, but in answer to a question from the audience, voice director Andrea Romano said that they would consider using fan favorites Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill for the voices of Batman and the Joker.

    There were more questions during the panel about future projects, including Alan Moore's The Killing Joke and Alex Ross' Kingdom Come. According to Timm, The Killing Joke has been discussed. It's not currently on the production schedule, but it hasn't been ruled out. The same couldn't be said for Kingdom Come, which Timm doesn't think will ever be produced as an animated feature. "It's just not made for 2D animation," he said. "It's not a good fit."

    Look for the three announced titles to come out sometime in 2012.

    They should use Adam West for DKR Batman's voice. Too bad Cesar Romero is no longer with us, or I'd recommend him for Joker.

    Yes, that's great news. This is the animated movie that I've been wanting to see for years, especially after I saw this back in the day.

    Bleeding Cool had this rumour, but now it's confirmed. Still who wants to pay 40 dollars for 150 minutes of footage? TDKR is in 2-parts.

    Why two parts? Why not just make one long movie? You know both parts are only gonna be an hour an 10 minutes, so just make it a two hour/20 minute movie. Jesus.
