Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2:
With Gotham City back under his watchful eye, and accompanied by able
sidekick Robin, Batman continues to battle crime – but his resurgence
awakens a far worse evil at Arkham Asylum: The Joker. In the meantime,
Superman has been dispatched by the President to halt Batman’s
unsanctioned reign by whatever means necessary. Between the Joker’s
diabolical scheme to drag Batman to the darkest levels of insanity,
and the Man of Steel’s seemingly invincible physical presence, the
Dark Knight must confront adversaries and allies simultaneously while
maintaining the peace in Gotham City.

Primetime television stars Michael Emerson (Person of Interest, Lost)
and Mark Valley (Human Target, Fringe) join the voice cast of Batman:
The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2 as The Joker and Superman,
respectively, and popular talk show host Conan O’Brien gives voice to
animated talk show host Dave Endochrine. Fanboy favorite Peter Weller
(RoboCop, Dexter) continues as Bruce Wayne/Batman, and he is once
again accompanied by David Selby (The Social Network, Dark Shadows) as
Commissioner Gordon, Ariel Winter (Modern Family) as Carrie/Robin, and
Michael McKean (This is Spinal Tap) as Dr. Bartholomew Wolper. Also
featured in the voice cast is Maria Canals-Barrrera (Wizards of
Waverly Place) as new Commissioner Yindel, Paget Brewster (Criminal
Minds) as Lana Lang, and Radio Hall of Fame member Michael Jackson as
