Parlando puramente di estetica, il Batman di Frank Miller è il mio preferito di sempre.

Quello di Bruce Timm è perfetto ed è quello con cui sono cresciuto; il Batman di Tim Sale, con quel mantello che sembra avere vita propria, è come un pezzo di oscurità sorto direttamente dalla terra; quello di Jim Lee è una montagna di muscoli di un’imponenza fuori scala, e quanto a muscoli non scherza neanche quello di Greg Capullo.
Ma il Cavaliere Oscuro di Frank Miller - vecchio, acciaccato e arrabbiato - rappresenta la Morte che torna alla Vita: l’urgenza di riaffermare se stesso nel mondo, di riconquistarlo pezzo per pezzo, di incutere timore nel cuore del crimine, un barbarico Yawp sopra i tetti di Gotham. La sua Gotham. E per questo lo amo.

Sull’opera non mi esprimo perché lo sanno anche i sassi: è un capolavoro imprescindibile.
Certo, intriso di uno spirito reazionario che fa sembrare Bruce Wayne uno di quei tromboni che su Facebook gridano che si stava meglio quando si stava peggio e che i giovani non sanno fare una mazza fritta, ma davanti a quelle tavole io alzo e mi immergo con tutta la faccia.

Dipping into the world of graphic novels with the recommendations of my nephews and niece. Much darker than I expected. And Bruce's age was inexplicably increased by 10 years toward the end of the story. But a lot of the sly, small details really made the story for me. Looking forward to exploring the genre in general, although maybe not this particular storyline.

I understand why this is a classic, it must have been pretty revolutionary, but it wasn't my favorite. A dark, gritty, old Batman... personally I prefer Bruce in Batman Beyond to this. The plot was pretty good, and the art was... fine? It fit the story but wasn't the prettiest. Some things were a little side-eye, and there were way too many tiny talking heads.

This was... fine? I'm not 100% sure I get the fuss.

It definitely isn't quite what I expected. Batman retired years ago, and Gotham has fallen into decay. His work is being systematically undone. So Batman suits up again, even at his age.

Didn't much care for the art. Writing was fine but not amazing, which surprised me because this is supposed to be one of Frank Miller's great contributions to the medium.
