Batman: The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller

4.0

Though not as thematically arresting as [b:Watchmen|472331|Watchmen (Watchmen #1-12)|Alan Moore|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1442239711s/472331.jpg|4358649], this series also does not shy away from the themes of disillusionment, cynicism and man's inherently flawed nature. I also got some enjoyment seeing where some visual depictions in Zack Synder's BvS came from, and confirming that Ben Affleck is indeed a fitting choice for this version of the Dark Knight. Let's hope that by laying the Dark Knight to rest in the film industry for a while, the studios will get their act together, to come up with something fitting to the comics both visually and in story.
