Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 reviews

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 holds a 7.7/10 average from 1,768 TMDB ratings.

The only area in which _The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1_ suffers, is foretold in the title: This is just part one. You watch those two parts combined back to back? You've got the best superhero movie ever made. _Final rating:★★★★½ - Ridiculously strong appeal. I can’t stop thinking about it._
— Gimly (9/10)

Batman has not been seen for ten years. A new breed of criminal ravages Gotham City, forcing 55-year-old Bruce Wayne back into the cape and cowl. But, does he still have what it takes to fight crime in a new era?
