The movie was okay.... the 1st half was a total waste. When it gotten to the actual STORY, it was decent... Hamill was BRILLIANT, the way they handled the ending conclusion was WELL DONE and really the only issue I have it the transitioning to the flashbacks could be done better...but it's mainly because they went very much like the book. The TONE was more dark than I imagined, but I liked it. This would of been a MASTERPIECE of a film had it not been for the 1st half messing it up with a weak story and it having zero to do with The Killing Joke as well as the transitioning of the flashbacks.
To me, THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS is still my favorite Batman adaptation.
