If you loved Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, try Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Jay Oliva, and they sit in Action / Animation / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow is

The next generation of superheroes trades hand-me-down capes for laser blasters. After their parents' fall, the Avengers' kids regroup, powers flaring, to face the villain who started it all. A respectful bow to legacy without much originality to call its own.
