Is Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns Getting Animated?

Hmmm … rumors are abound that Frank Miller and Klaus Janson‘s The Dark Knight Returns, about a post-retirement Batman coming back to defend Gotham alongside his new sidekick, Carrie Kelly, is in the early stages of becoming a full-length animated movie. Not a lot of details are clear, mostly because there hasn’t been any official word. But the series also features Superman, and only one of our heroes makes it to the end of the story.

It’s assumed that such a project would go straight to DVD, similar to All Star Superman and Year One. But like we’ve said — it’s all rumors at the moment. (Though one we couldn’t really resist.)
