Absolute Dark Knight
- First batman story ever readWell this is the first batman comic i ever picked up. There are some others now on my list, but this one was a fantastic read. 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 wonder. Made me laugh really, seems robin always has to be someone young. So batman can um, mold them properly and what not ;-).
Second half of the book was great too, but not as great, made batman look like more of an A-hole. As well as making some of the other dc characters who appear look naive, whiny and push over (ya im talking about superman, you'll find out why if you read it)
I have to say that the art at times was funny, wonder women really looked like a tranny who hadn't gotten the rest of her plastic surgery done. It cracked me up everytime she appeard.
Anyway, for any batman fan, or any person who's a comic fan, this is a great addition to any collection. I love the absolutes, this one goes well with my Absolutes (kingdom come, crisis of infinte earths, Authority 1,2) I look forward to purchasing more of the absolute comics!

- Great CompilationA well put together bundle of both the classic and the new graphic novels with a few extras. Very Impressive packaging (coffee table worthy).

- Cost to damn much.The first one was great. The second one...I think that Frank Miller read "Kingdom Come" and said "I can do better!".
Only problem is. He didn't.
Once Amazon dropped their discount this is no longer worth it. Buy it if you love Frank Miller but buy it somewhere else.

- BOTH Worthy ReadsEverybody knows TDKR was a phenominal book. What everybody doesn't know is that The Dark Knight Strikes Again is ALSO a phenominal book. Many readers have their opinions warped by superficial comic book reviewers who critique Miller's sequel because it was not as "dark" or "gritty" as the first book was. Is that it? Is that you're only complaint? Are you so ignorant that you're not going to delve underneath the appearances to look at the thematic significance of the work?
Yes, TDKSA is a departure from its predecessor in terms of style. But it still shines in RELEVENCY. Miller gives us a mind blowing look at what our society is and may become. What is democracy in the media age? Do the people really run a country where a select few that run the major news outlets control everything that the people know and believe? And does it make us feel any better that it is one man, Batman, who is arrogant enough to enforce his social ideology on us?
Don't be fooled. While The Dark Knight Returns is still a significant work in today's literary work, it was a book about yesterday. The Dark Knight Strikes Again is a book about TODAY.
