More of a DC/JLA free-for-all than it is a Batman comic. I found the pacing of the story frantic, but it was still a lot of fun.

Awful. As if writer and his team were on a very bad trip.

I'm not sure what I just read, but it really wasn't very good.

This comic is probably the worst I've read yet, the DK1 isn't my favorite but it has a good story, Batman is the main character and it's all "good".
But this DK2 is the shittiest sequel ever, the reporters and the news program get a lot of dialogs and you can even think they are the main characters, the art is bad as SHIT, this shouldn't have ever been published or invented, I only read books 1 and 2 and I really felt it wasn't ever going to end, do not waste your money or most important, your time reading this crappy comic.

Most of it doesn't make much sense. Frank Miller is insane. Some of it is okay, but there are far too many pages where I'm going..."WTF am I even reading? What is going on here?"
The art is mediocre and the story jumbled. Batman: Year One was okay, but it had a different artist. The Dark Knight Returns felt like it was never going to end and had soooo much crammed into it. The Dark Knight Strikes Again is less long, but has a lot of unnecessary stuff, too. I guess some people like that?
Once again, within the dialogue, there's an attempt at slang of the future that just fails miserably because I'm just thinking, "WTF are they saying? WTF does that even mean?!?!"
Was the commentary by the various townspeople necessary? Not to me. They just kept saying the same damn things.
And PLEASE! Dick Grayson is not insane. Obviously, Frank knows nothing about the character. I love how he was ignored up until the very end and the part he played was just stupid, out of character and completely random.

Well, this graphic novel was a mess, plain and simple.
The artwork didn't work for me. It was too loud and colourful and flashy, and was almost like a caricature at times. The story was muddled and nonsensical and just stupid and blah.
I read it in pretty much one sitting, and will definitely not be picking it up again. Total waste of time.

Sadly, Miller's sequel to the excellent The Dark Knight Returns is proof that lightning doesn't strike twice. :(

The book that started the downfall of Frank Miller's career/mind.

Although the political motivation was very entertaining, the plot and art weren't as enjoyable as the earlier installments in the series.

Moving past the complete eyesore that is the artwork, the story isn't very good at all. Too much going on, and focuses more on Superman than Batman! Absolutely insane that this followed up TDKR, but I'm going to soldier on towards "The Master Race". At least it was a quick read.
