![]() Rating: - The Dark Knight Returns is Essential even for non-comic reading book fans.A one-two punch of a set in one amazing volume. There are examples of a medium that so much represent the best there is that it transcends the traditional audience. The Dark Knight Returns, the first of two volumes in this set, is such a work. The 15-years between it's sequel, The Dark Knight Rides Again, seem to change the momentum. While it is sometimes fun and always interesting, it is merely a ride-along compared to the first volume.

I didn't like it at all. First, the story arc was disappointing ... I didn't feel that it best represented Bruce Wayne's character at an ...

Frank Miller really knows how to make batman one dark character. Can't believe how lucky i am to have picked this one up. First half of the book, i was really empressed, how gritty and grungy everything looked and went so well with the mood miller was setting. The story was fantastic, although recruiting a new robin when your really that old, kinda makes you ...
