Pros: Paradigm shift on Batman. And it works!!! Cons: For some, perhaps a little depressing, Bruce isnt all that happy.
All the superheroes have gone. A restless public finally decided that the benefits of having super-powered caped crusaders bouncing across America was outweighed by their lack of legitimate accountability. Superheroes are just vigilantes, cries ...
Pros: Perfect characterization of Batman, Alfred, Gordon--amazing story, great artwork. Cons: Shockingly violent in places...
"Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" is at the top of my Quite Large Comic Book Heap. I own hundreds of comics, and almost 50 collections, like this one, that are bound in a "trade paperback" format. More durable paper, better printing. "Dark Knight" is...
Pros: One of the finest pieces of written art I have ever read. Cons: When it came out, made all other comics seem immaterial.
Let me start by saying that there have been many great comic books written since the Dark Knight, so I may no longer be able to call this one the 'greatest', but at the time it was released there was nothing that even came close to it. The drama,...
Pros: Interesting Idea Cons: The Characterization of Batman Doesn't Feel Right at Times, Artwork is Weak
Heavily hyped and full of praise, The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller (with Klaus Janson and Lynn Varley) was a comic book phenomenon that I passed on time and again. I missed it’s original release (I was nine at the time but I was already very...
Pros: Humanized, realist interpretation of the Gotham City universe Cons: No real supervillains, a dramatic approach that may not appeal to everyone
1989 was definitely my "All Things Batman" summer. I saw the movie in early June and became hooked on the TV show soon after. And I used my meager allowance and earnings from selling blown glass at the state fair with my dad to snatch up...
Pros: EVERYTHING. Even the really depressing parts. Cons: um.... the really depressing parts for some people- You losers!
I am young. In fact, when the original issues to Batman: The Dark Knight Returns were published I still in diapers. I also am not a big comic collector; I own possibly fifteen individual issues and sixteen trade paperbacks of various titles (mostly Batman ...
Pros: Excellent comic that transcends the medium Cons: Violent and nasty at times
"Batman: The Dark Night Returns" is the trade paperback collection of the four issue miniseries of the same name. Story by Frank Miller, Klaus Janson and Lynn Varley, published by DC Comics.
Pros: Miller reworks the characters brilliantly Cons: Not necessarily for younger readers
Mention Batman to almost anyone and they will be able to tell you more or less who he is. The Dark Knight Detective, The Caped Crusader, the guy who hung out with a kid called Robin. What you have there is one of the most famous characters to emerge from...
Pros: Great story line. Excellent artist depictions. Frank Miller....nuff said. Cons: You might wear out your first copy of this book quite rapidly.
This comic will knock your socks off.... among other things
This isn't your average version of Batman, and it's definitely not the Batman from all of those retarded movies. The version of Batman that you will find in this book is a...
Pros: Great illustrations and storyline Cons: Ended eventually ... boo hoo
Before reading this I didn't like Batman. I thought the storyline was pretty lame and that Batman himself was a boring and hokey character. But then came my winter vacation, and as I looked through my mom's boyfriend's bookshelves, this book caught my...
Pros: Writing, penciling, coloring, story Cons: too short; i want more :(
Hey, you guys, you screwed up the title. The Batman book that Miller and Mazzuchelli did was Batman: Year One. I'll be reviewng that, just to let all you confused people know. Batman: Year One came out I think a year after Batman: THe Dark Knight Retur ...
Pros: frank miller's gritty art and story-telling abilitiy as in Sin City Cons: too much focus on the problems with journalism throughout the series
Before I begin this review, let me explain to you one thing, "The Dark Knight Returns" will make a lot more sense and be a lot more fun to read if you actually go back to the seemingly unrelated storyline "A Death in the Family," in which The Joker kills...
Pros: Genre shattering superheroes, intense pacing and story, amazing illustrations, deep questions concerning crime and crimefighters. Cons: Some would say the artwork lacks detail, but it fits; not for young kids!
So you think you know Batman. You may recall those episodes of the Caped Crusader and the Boy Wonder from TV long ago. If you think *that's* Batman, my friend, you're about to enter the tenth circle of hell -- better known as the Gotham City of Dark...
Pros: Epic artwork, the most ambitious Batman story ever Cons: Wears thin before it's over
Frank Miller's contributions to the Batman universe are few but immense, all at once -- two graphic novels that exist in a dramatically altered but faithful-to-the-original Gotham City. They deal, alternately, with the beginning and end of Bruce Wayne's...
Written as a sequel to the groundbreaking Batman: The Dark Knight Returns , this masterful hardcover takes place three years after Batman's defeat of ...More at Barnes & Noble.com
