The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller
4.0
Amazing. Smeared with brilliant artwork, Frank Miller has spawned a masterpiece throwing a past-one's-prime Cape Crusader to his casual neighborhood to mingle with the thickening political hatred co-authored by media and criminals. Plot channels us through Dark Knight's rotting enemies, Two-Face and Joker and grasps the climax at a duel against Man of Steel, himself. What embeds the story above all is the brilliant style Miller has mastered on inking how an aging vigilante will cope with modern day affairs when superiors in Gotham City cum USA openly express their animosity and issue warrants.
One of my favorite moments was when Batman finds Catwoman dressed in Wonder Woman's costume. Even though there's no explanation, Frank Miller's obsession with Wonder Woman must have intrigued the idea. Story failed a minuscule bit on denying to explain what happens with teenage Robin's parents and in confusing dialogues although black, blue, yellow and green background colors were mixed to denote who's relating the story. Regardless, flying toys rigged with explosives, infused with a vicious looking fifty-five year old Bruce striving to get the upper hand in a battle against a young, energetic Clark concocted with a determined sidekick, Robin was absolute art. This will be one of my all time favorites. Enjoy!
