The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller
4.0
This whole comic broke my heart, I was really intrigued by what will happen when Batman is in his twilight years and at his absolute limit... I thought it would be sad but not like this.
His self-hatred, Selina's escort business... guys what happened to you???
I like Carrie Kelly as Robin, this was my first real introduction to her and her young enthusiasm is uplifting but at the same time really emphasizes what Bruce became, which I imagine, that juxtaposition, is the point.
What I didn't like about this comic was the art style and anything to do with Superman, his presence was needed but Superman becoming nothing but a lap dog for those in authority??? Come ON man, SUPERman, where's the super? Kinda pathetic.
What I did really appreciate was the lyrical, reflective narration that spans this story. It really captured the mood and set the scene well.
Four out of five, not my favourite but beautifully written, too sad, however, how the mighty fell.
