The Leader of the Mutants Is Surprisingly Eloquent

Comic Book Resources has a new clip from DC’s animated Dark Knight Returns adaptation, and it’s looking slightly more Frank Miller-y than that absolutely bizarre picture of the Joker I posted yesterday. Of course, the clip is of the Mutant Leader addressing Gotham City in a recording made almost entirely in shadow, so I suppose it’s a little easier to match the original comic when the shot is about 90% black. I think if I had zero other problems with DKR, I’d feel the Mutant Leader’s voice doesn’t really exude all the menace I’d imagined in my head, but when compared to Peter Weller’s incredibly flat Batman voice and the total lack of anything approaching the original art style of the best-selling and beloved comic, I actually have no problem with this clip at all. Yet somehow I doubt DC will elect to use this as a quote on the DVD packaging.
