I thought this movie was just good but nothing special. 7.4/10

Who says that direct to video movies can't be great? Seriously, why isn't this in the Top 250 here? Well, there's probably some rule that says direct to video movies aren't allowed there. Well, I think they are allowed in the Bottom 100, but that's different. Anyway, this movie concludes the adaptation of Frank Miller's comic of the same name. I feel so bad for not having read most of these comics beforehand. I think I'm at least familiar with the art design and wow, this movie has it down to a T! It looks just like what I've seen from the comic.Well, we finally get to see the Joker die but it's actually on his own terms. He intentionally breaks his own neck (somehow?) hoping Batman will take the blame for his death and he does. I love how he just goes around and randomly kills people, doing what he does best. We also get to see Batman and Superman fight and it's way better than the "Batman Vs. Superman" movie. We get a much better understanding of why the fight's occurring and it's far more creative. My only complaint is that, yeah, it was still too short! People don't seem to like "Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox" as much as this, but I'm allowed to disagree. ***1/2

One of the most violent, complex, dark and epic representations of the caped crusader, TDKR Part 2 is absolutely unforgettable. The movie is fast paced, taking you to the last journey of Batman in an effective manner. It is true that is less thought provoking, but that little flaw is requited with the other highlights.The movie continues with its realistic tone with one of the best Joker performances. A Joker in suit and tie, using makeup and no gadgetry; arguably one of the most bloodthirsty, sadistic and psychopathic Joker (or at least tied with John Dimaggio's) in recent history. Michael Emerson has a perfect voice for this humanistic representation of the Clown Prince of Crime, and oh boy does he steals the show. One of the best confrontations between this two nemesis, with an outcome that proves the Joker will always be Batman's ultimate challenge.Then, there's the amazing battle with Superman. If only the people behind "Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice" would have stayed faithful to this, that movie could have been from another world (but no, it sucked). A rivalry we all waited to see blowing off, we get a more than satisfactory outcome and result; those quotable lines will have us all remembering, in all the years to come in our most private moments, that one man. The animation is good, the voice performance is excellent, every combat or outcome in the movie is epic, and there's that amazing hunting score.FINAL CONSENSUS: Reaching the height of big ones like Mask of the Phantasm and Under the Red Hood, this dark and epic conclusion is a more than welcomed addition to Batman's animated pantheon.

It's not very often that I'm stunned to silence, but it happened here. If you liked "Part 1", you will adore "Part 2". More action, more brutality, more respect for the title character, more everything. How did they get this to 75 minutes? It felt like watching a 3 hour movie! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! From Joker going on a psychotic killing spree, to Bruce having the ultimate showdown with "The Government's Errand Boy", this movie is Grade A awesome. If you are even a molecule of a Batman fan, you owe it to yourself to see this. This could easily be a replacement for almost any AAA superhero action movie today, in fact, I think I'd prefer this to movies like "The Dark Knight Rises" and "Batman vs Superman".
