Best animated graphic novel
As a fan of the original graphic novel, I was amazed at this feature length animated adaptation! Peter Weller is definitive as the older Bruce Wayne/Batman & the fact that they've split the novel in half (part 2 to follow next year) allows an almost frame for frame matchup of the original story with this new version! I agree with the decision NOT to reproduce the 'noir' style voiceovers (it was distracting & mostly unnecessary in the first BLADERUNNER & this was proved when it was reissued) & the visual style is very faithful as well. As with Frank Miller's BATMAN YEAR ONE, Bruce Timm & the DC team have created another fantastic Batman feature film!
