sizrobe 's review for:
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
by Frank Miller
I can see why this book is held in such high regard. It tells the tale of a borderline geriatric, brutal, amoral Batman newly returned to costumed crimefighting after a 20 year hiatus. Grimdark Batman seems a little goofy, but it works. This, however, is not one for the kids.
I did have a few issues with it, though. All of the Mutant Gang are portrayed as subhuman, dressing in ridiculous Day-Glo costumes with glasses like Bebop from the Ninja Turtles and spouting ridiculous strained slang vernacular. Also, Robin felt way out of place using a slingshot and wearing her brightly colored costume while dealing with dead serious murderous gangsters.
