Calling all Batman fans! A new animated feature is coming! Warner Brothers has recently released a new clip from the upcoming animated feature, “Batman: The Dark Knight Returns” Part 1. The feature will be released as a Blu-ray Combo pack and DVD on September 25, 2012, and it is rated PG-13.

Below, you can watch a clip from the film with features The Mutant Leader giving his televised declaration of war on Gotham City, Commissioner Gordon and Batman. The Mutant Leader is voiced by Gary Anthony Williams, best known for his recurring roles on “Malcolm in the Middle” and “Boston Legal,” as well as voice overs as Riff Tamsom on “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” Uncle Ruckus on “The Boondocks,” and Mongul in “Batman: The Brave and the Bold.” Williams’ casting as the bad-to-the-bone Mutant leader belies his true calling in comedy – he is co-founder and artistic director for the L.A. Comedy Shorts Film Festival in Hollywood.
