*** [[spoiler: GreenArrow was absent, and instead it is Bruce who releases the Kryptonite Gas from his suit. There was also a moment where the sky momentarily opens up and reveals the sun, briefly healing Superman and thereby avoiding the CurbStompBattle that we all know and love. Bruce also taunts him about Lois to engage his BerserkButton, which ultimately leads to his defeat. In this version, however, Bruce barely survives the battle and ends up in a intensive care, where Federal Agents anxiously wait to question him. Alas, Bruce manages to swallow a pill hidden inside his arm that allows him to fake his death and to continue to work undisturbed. The final shot would've emphasized the theme that while Bruce Wayne dies, the Dark Knight lives.]]

!!!Trivia for [[ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns the comic]]:
* OneSceneWonder: The tech in the space station, who appears for a grand total of ''ten'' panels, and in doing so gives important exposition regarding the Coldbringer nuke that wipes out power on the Eastern Seaboard and prompts the plot of the final act, is used to demonstrate the apathy of the news media on "technical details" and also delivers arguably the most poignant lines regarding nuclear fears of the era.
-->'''Dan''': Still, my last thoughts will be a prayer for you, for humanity...and for the planet Earth. Nothing could stop the Russians from emptying their silos at us now. We'd have no defense, no way to retaliate. '''The one hope we have is that the decision to murder billions has to be made by a human being.''' (emphasis added)
