8/10
Very successful conclusion

Even though Batman's return is reducing crime, the powers that be find him a political embarrassment and ask their most powerful operative to deal with the matter even though there are issues of global significance on the horizon. But Batman's oldest foe is back in the game, so the Dark Knight is not minded to go back to inactivity.

Part 2 of this animated adaptation of Frank Miller's tale of the future of an ageing Batman is every bit as good as part 1. Once again, all Miller's iconic images are incorporated into the animation, and the film nicely translates the final fight and rather poetic conclusion into moving images.

Voice work is quite good (and yes, I wouldn't have minded Kevin Conroy as Batman, but Peter Weller does a good job). The two parts together are nearly 3 hours of excellent, if dark, entertainment.
