Description

Writer/artist Frank Miller completely reinvents the legend of Batman in this saga of a near-future Gotham City gone to rot, 10 years after the Dark Knight’s retirement. Forced to take action, the Dark Knight returns in a blaze of fury, taking on a whole new generation of criminals and matching their level of violence. He is soon joined by a new Robin—a girl named Carrie Kelley, who proves to be just as invaluable as her predecessors. Can Batman and Robin deal with the threat posed by their deadliest enemies, after years of incarceration have turned them into perfect psychopaths? And more important, can anyone survive the coming fallout from an undeclared war between the superpowers—or the clash of what were once the world’s greatest heroes? Hailed as a comics masterpiece, The Dark Knight Returns is Frank Miller’s (300 and Sin City) reinvention of Gotham’s legendary protector. It remains one of the most influential stories ever told in comics, with its echoes felt in all media forms of DC’s storytelling. Collects issues 1-4. Read more

    • An Odd Mix
This comic is great but I'm not going to lie. It's an odd mix of very good and in some places, very bad. A good example is the art. In some places it is absolutely awesome. But in others it is too cartoony, looks bad, or is just plain incomprehensible. Another example is the story. It doesn't make much sense when you think about it. But it is delivered in such a cool style that you don't care too much. Like the fight with Superman. There's no real reason in the story for them to be fighting at all. But it's an epic showdown that is very enjoyable to read. I like the female Robin, Carrie, a lot. She's not super developed as a character, but she is likable and adds some good humor to the story. The character of Batman is awesome in this, but I'm not one hundred percent sure what to think about him. In many ways he seems more like the Punisher than Batman. Two things I didn't like. I didn't like the abundance of tiny frames used to tell most of the story. Little micro-panels, if you will. Each is just a small piece of art, usually a head from a newscast, and some short text. There were way too many of these, and it takes forever to get through them all. And they're often hard to read. Similarly, I greatly disliked the many, many news panels and talking heads. A little bit would be fine, but this book just goes nuts with them, and few of them are necessary. I especially got sick of seeing Lola Chong with her strange eyes that only ever appear as two lines, and her odd earrings that are somehow able to levitate beside her head. But all that aside, it's a great comic. I could be tempted to rate it less than five stars, but I won't. Where it shines, it shines brightly. And some of the art and story here is truly spectacular. Some of the scenes are now iconic. Yes, it has its flaws but it is still a great work. There's a reason it always makes it in to the top ten. Recommended. ... show more

    • TDKR
This is one of the biggest milestones in comic history and for good reason. It revisits the seriousness of comics. It takes that bronze age child like characters and turns them very serious. It's honestly a great story.

    • A comic classic
Not to be missed; Miller's Dark Knight violently returns from retirement to battle Gotham and the Joker one last time. So fascinating. My reflection on TDKR sets aside the beautiful artwork and superb story, the themes are amazing, can we change, are we destined to live life interiorly broken with only a veneer of humanity on display, can we be greater, show we embrace of weaknesses, help others to embrace theirs... Great comics like great novels force one to confront the various facets of humanity. Of course, the great story that influenced later interpretations of Batman are their (Nolan), but Miller goes father and darker than others, to Batman's logical conclusion and that's a ride worth taking. ... show more

    • An amazing story that suffers slightly from an over-abundance of dialogue.
Somewhere deep within the density of the comic's dialogue is arguably the best Batman story I've ever read. Since looking back on it, I cannot get over how great the plot to the story is. Every other Batman comic shows Bruce in this continuous prime of his. This story though? Not so much. He's old and hasn't put on the cape and cowl for a long time. He's not just fighting bad guys, he's fighting his old age and worn out body. There's a lot of emotion, yet it never feel like a soap opera. It's intense and connects very well to the motivation behind the action. Every character had a purpose and no character was forced in as a cheap one-liner. Everything in the story works, and they all work together really well. What could possibly be wrong with it? IT'S SO DENSE! Holy crap! I burned through Batman: Hush in 2 hours, but this comic took me so long because every single page is dense with panels and words that at times seem unnecessary. It's like watching filler episodes of your favorite TV show. At points, reading this comic felt like trying to run a marathon without training. It is long? No not really, it's just dense. Is it worth it? Absolutely! I really did love this comic, I just wish it wasn't so dense. ... show more

    • Still some of Frank Miller's best work!
It's been 10 years since Batman was last sighted and Gotham's worse than ever! Random acts of violence from a gang called the Mutants and the disappearance of the recently "cured" Harvey Dent forces Bruce Wayne out of retirement...and he couldn't be happier! With a new Robin by his side, Batman takes on new threats like the Mutant Leader and the new Commissioner, who has issued a warrant for his arrest, and old ones in the form of his arch nemesis, the Joker, and his old friend, Superman! Great story, the art is pretty good for the most part, and there are some bits of dark humor and commentary that still get a chuckle out of me. A must read for any Batman fan! ... show more

    • The real batman vs superman
This is the real fight, the real showdown, not like the movie. But this wasn't about batman fighting superman. This is about Batman and how he is criticized by the world as abosolete and wrong when the world are the ones who are so foolishly wrong. You will be rooting for Batman as he does what's right as the talking heads just talk and make all the worst decisions. I have questions here and there throughout the read. Like how did this mutant gang come to exist? Why do they call themselves mutants if they are just regular people? Who is the big guy that works for the joker? And he makes dolls that are robots that can fly and blow up? I'm not an avid comic book reader so maybe many things in it longtime fans are familiar with I was not privy to. But it would've been nice if those things here and There could have been explained. The comic is wrote, or rather reads, like a novel of book. Sometimes I wish it would read just like a regular comic. Even watchman was more straight forward with its writing and imagery. But it is poetic and fitting at times. The art is simple. Not every flashy or detailed which I tend to detest. And almost very sketchy looking which really fits the gritty, visceral nature of the comic. ... show more
