Fan CastingBatman: Dark Knight Returns

In late 1986, feigning remorse for his past, Joker convinces Wolper to take him on a talk show to tell his story and makes plans for his escape with Abner, an old henchman who supplies him with mind-controlling lipstick. Meanwhile, Superman, who works as a government operative in exchange for being allowed to covertly help people, is asked by President Ronald Reagan to end Batman's vigilante activities. Framing these events is a growing hostility between the USA and the Soviet Union over possession of the island of Corto Maltese. As Batman's continued presence humiliates the national authorities, incoming commissioner Yandel orders Batman's arrest, and Superman warns Batman that the government will not tolerate him much longer.
