“Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part One” Not Slated For San Diego Comic-Con 2012
A representative for Warner Home Video has confirmed for The World’s Finest that, despite earlier reports, there is no scheduled preview screening for Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part One. Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part One, is the Fall 2012 installment of the DC Comics Premiere Movie line. Advance screenings and trailer reveals at the annual San Diego Comic-Con have been a staple for titles in the Warner Home Video movie line, but a representative for Warner Home Video clarifies that the animated feature could not meet the ‘earlier-than-usual dates’ established by the San Diego Comic-Con.
As reported earlier, there will be a panel dedicated to the current DC Nation programming block on Cartoon Network, along with additional incentives happening throughout the Comic-Con weekend. Details for the panel can be found below.
