With their boss dead, Red John in the wind, and their suspensions lifted the CBI team goes back to work, thanks in no small part to some finagling between Gale Bertram (Michael Gaston) and his opposite number at the FBI (Polly Walker). Jane (Simon Baker) is much more interested in talking with Lorelei (Emmanuelle Chriqui), and learning all he can from her about Red John, but until a deal with the FBI can be worked out no one will be speaking with the captured member of Red John’s inner circle.

batman-dark-knight-returns-pt1-blu-rayI love Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns. Originally released as a four-issue mini-series back in 1986 Returns gave us a look at the future of Gotham City, ten years after the last appearance of Batman (Peter Weller). So when DC Animated announced their plans for not one but two animated features I held my breath and hoped for the best. Much like last year’s Batman: Year One, this adaptation of Frank Miller’s work is, at best, a mixed success.

Ten years to the day after the Batman’s last recorded appearance, and one month before the retirement of Commissioner Gordon (David Selby), Bruce Wayne is lured out of retirement by a vicious new gang known as the Mutants who are slowly taking over the city. Part 1 gives us Batman’s return, Two-Face‘s (Wade Williams) short reign of terror, and the always jabbering talking heads who continue to debate whether Gotham is better or worse off with Batman’s return.
