Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

One of DC's most acclaimed volumes, this is the tale of a tortured hero's efforts to save a city in chaos from Two-Face, the Joker, and a violent Batman-inspired gang.

Review:

"...probably the finest piece of comic art to be published in a popular edition..." -Stephen King

Review:

"There's never been storytelling quite like this. It took someone who views comics as an art to create it." Washington Post

Synopsis:

A tour de force of powerful storytelling and intense characterization, "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" is the tale of a tortured man's effort to save a city spiraling into chaos. An aging, time-worn Batman struggles with the acceptance of a new Robin while facing the latest generation of vicious, hyper-violent criminals. Old foes like the Joker and Two-Face add to the maddening mayhem which Batman must face and somehow conquer. Even Batman's relationship with his friend and ally Superman takes a fresh and inventive turn that would have been unthinkable outside of Frank Miller's richly imagined vision of the Dark Knight's future. This tenth anniversary edition features 28 pages of sketches, art, text material and an introduction by the author.

Description:

Written by Frank Miller; illustrated by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson with Lynn Varley

I'm honestly not a huge Frank Miller fan; I don't really like the boxy way he tends to draw human figures, and I have some... philosophical issues with Sin City. BUT, it's impossible to deny his impact on the industry, particularly in the case of The Dark Knight Returns. This and Alan Moore's The Watchmen basically revamped (and some say ruined) the costumed superhero. With this book, as well, Miller firmly establishes comic books as being "for grown ups," if only due to the violence therein. I still feel some ambivalence toward Miller's work, but this is an undeniably powerful portrayal of Batman.
