Further developments in the animated version of Frank Miller’s seminal The Dark Knight Returns: Casting announced today includes Peter Weller, who played RoboCop in the first two films, as Bruce Wayne, the millionaire playboy who dresses up like a bat and beats up crooks because he misses his mommy and daddy.

Also added to the cast, according to The Hollywood Reporter is Ariel Winter, who plays smarty-pants middle-child Alex Dunphy on ABC’s Modern Family, will play Robin, and comedy legend Michael McKean as Dr. Wolper, the Joker’s psychiatrist.  As if I wasn’t already wishing McKean a speedy recovery from his recent accident, this news just makes me want him healthy again even more quickly.

In other news: I am thoroughly sold on an animated version of The Dark Knight Returns.  Never mind the fact that it’s been my second-favorite comic book for years (the first-place spot goes to the obvious, »

Director Robert Rodriguez Talks Mickey Rourke, Rosario Dawson, Angelina Jolie – a Dame To Kill For

It’s been seven years since the first film adaptation of Sin City, Frank Miller’s highly influential series of comics, yet people are still eagerly awaiting a sequel.  And finally they will get what’s coming to them, for better or worse.

MTV News recently spoke with director Robert Rodriguez about the development of Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For, about who will be returning and who might be new to the team, and about working with Frank Miller.  In the accompanying video, he also confirms that there will be new material along with the existing material from the A Dame to Kill For comic, about which I’m not sure how to feel.

Back when I was still reading comic books, D.C. used to have an alternate universe type of book line called “Elseworlds”, basically their version of Marvel’s “What if…”, only, well, more well thought-out and better looking. (Let’s face it, some of those “What if…” comics were pretty shoddy.) The best Elseworlds stories I’ve found were always the ones centered around Batman and his alter ego Bruce Wayne, and what would happen if Batman was born in Victorian Era England (“Gotham by Gaslight”), Batman was also Superman (“Superman: Speeding Bullets”), Batman was Dracula (“Holy Terror”), etc. Which is probably why these non-fan art Batman as a Medieval Knight photos are so appealing to me. These beauties are the creations of one Samuel Lee and the inspired folks at Prince Armory, which we’re told “offers the pinacle of custom hand crafted armor, costumes, and leather products”.
