The link below goes to Ifanboy.com which has posted the trailer for DC Entertainment's DVD adaption of Miller's Dark Knight Returns Part I.

Trailer looks great. I'll have to get used to Batman's voice, but I'm excited about this one. Like the style of the animation much better than the recent Superman vs. Elite.

I can't get this link to work, Terry.

Link's working on my end, but just go to www.ifanboy.com or most any of the other comic websites.
Comic Book Resource has it too:

I'm surprised they didn't try to match Miller's style more closely, although his style changed from book to book on this one...

I liked the trailer, but didn't LOVE the trailer. Weller's voice as The Batman is okay, but it would have been even better had they told him to drop it an octave and make it a little raspier. I'm not really digging the Mutant leader's voice at all (i always heard him in my head as sounding, ironically enough, kind of the way Bane sounded win TDKR). I also really wish they'd have retained Bryan Cranston as Gordon--he'd've been perfect in this movie for that role. The animation looks pretty good and they did adhere to Miller's style for the most part, but there are a couple of shots there where it seems to revert back to the usual DC animation style...
Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.
It looks good, but I'm feeling the segment for TNBA's "Legends of the Dark Knight" seemed more faithful.

Yeah, I'm really not understanding Warner's choice on art style with these features. I totally understand that they can't duplicate the style of the comics, but the style on Superman vs. Elite was really puzzling to me. I liked the movie, but had to get over the animation style. At least this seems to have a modified Miller look with the characters. I don't get the box art though. While I like the look of it, it certainly doesn't represent the product that well.I'm surprised they didn't try to match Miller's style more closely, although his style changed from book to book on this one...
I'm not the biggest fan of DKR, but this looks action-packed and fun.

Just read that the Warner Premiere label is being put out to pasture. DKR part one will be released under it and that will be the last. The fate of part 2 is up in the air. The decline of sales is blamed along with digital formats being explored instead of hom video releases. This doesn't really surprise me, the quality of most of this stuff was so-so and really didn't get repeat viewings out of me. Wish I would have passed on Year One and saved 15 bucks.
