DC FanDome is currently underway and Adult Swim's Toonami programming block is getting in on the fun with another double dose of Batman action. After the first week featured Batman's big return to the block with Batman: Year One and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, now Toonami will be featuring yet another back to back dose of Batman animated films with Batman: Gotham Knight and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 2 in tow. As one might expect, the second part of The Dark Knight Returns is the more action packed one.

To better help you get hyped for Batman's second run with the Toonami programming block beginning tonight (Saturday, August 22nd) at 12:00AM, Toonami has shared a new promo for Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 2 that gives you an idea of the fallout from the first film that ultimately leads to a bout with Superman. You can check it out in the video above!

Batman: Gotham Knight kicks off the double dose of Batman with The Dark Knight Returns Part 2 airing at 1:30AM EST. This is part of the celebration with DC FanDome which is a major virtual event that has already given fans a ton of sneak peeks into the future of DC's cinematic and video game projects. For those interested in the currently ongoing event as well, it is described as such:
