Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group has detailed the upcoming Blu-ray release of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2, revealing the extras that will be a part of the BD/DVD/UltraViolet Combo Pack. The conclusion to writer Bob Goodman and director Jay Oliva's well received adaptation of Frank Miller's groundbreaking take on the Batman mythos arrives on January 29, 2013.
The Dark Knight (voiced by Peter Weller), along with new sidekick Robin (Ariel Winter), have finally reclaimed Gotham City and allowed a ray of hope to penetrate the reign of terror that The Mutants had cast upon his city. But with Batman back in the spotlight, the extended media coverage has awoken a far worse evil at Arkham Asylum: The Joker (Michael Emerson). Forever destined to be mortal enemies, The Joker has a diabolical scheme that may pull Batman down to the darkest levels of insanity. Meanwhile, on the horizon, a global catastrophe races towards Gotham and with it a familiar face: The Man of Steel (Mark Valley), though this time he has Batman in his sights. Witness as the aging Dark Knight wages a tireless war against crime while proving that courage and will are indeed timeless.
