The Dark Knight Returns – First Trailer | Christian Bale

Years after vanishing from Gotham, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) lives in the shadows — older, scarred, and haunted by the ghosts of his past. But when chaos erupts once again, with ruthless gangs seizing the city and a terrifying new enemy lurking in the dark, Gotham stands on the edge of collapse. Forced out of retirement, Batman must face not only powerful foes, but also the limits of his aging body and the growing doubt of a city that has moved on without him. This is not the fight of a young crusader — it is the final stand of a legend. The question is no longer whether Gotham needs Batman… but whether Bruce Wayne can endure one last war to prove that the symbol of the Dark Knight can never truly die. With Christian Bale returning to his iconic role, The Dark Knight Returns delivers a dark, gripping, and emotional journey — a cinematic showdown where legacy, sacrifice, and redemption collide.
