Dark Knight Returns TP New Ed: The Dark Knight Returns (Batman) Paperback – 23 Feb. 2016

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns is one of the best Batman stories ever written. It was written and penciled by the legendary Frank Miller.First published in 1986 it was one of the first stories to show an older Batman in a dystopian version of Gotham. He comes out of retirement, and kicks ass. It is moody, dark, has some iconic scenes and dialog, and re-reading it is always a joy.It just hits the mark, and scores a perfect 10 for The Dark Knight.Also Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns was obviously the inspiration for some of the Zack Snyder's Snyderverse.Come and read The Dark Knight Returns, an original Batman story which is better than any movie ever could be.

I never thought a single page in a comic book would bring a tear to my eye!An epic tale, beautifully rendered in the greatest of storytelling traditions.

Whatever time you happen to have found this magnum opus of Frank Miller's reimagining of Batman, it has the power to stun. Although Miller/Janson 's artwork may seem sparse by modern standards, the sheer bravado of it underlines what a truly epic achievement this is.It's the gold standard of how to revitalise an otherwise familiar and predictable character. Nothing is left out. The story is dark and powerful, geopolitics and media satire is strong, and Bruce Wayne has never gone to darker places. Truly this is a deserved legend in comic books.

This is the second time I read this graphic novel (the first following shortly after the two part animated movies, which inspired me to get it in the first place), and immediately from the off you can totally understand why this is held to such high esteem. In many ways it encapsulates the character of Bruce Wayne and Batman, and what makes him who he is. It is a story which at times is poetic, other times amusing. It's when it's dealing with the deepest of themes when this novel truly sings. It is a bleak world, and it truly is Batman at its best. If I had to give a tiny criticism, the art does look a little dated compared to the art of today. However, this novel is quite old, so that can be forgiven. The story will remain forever timeless.

Brilliant all round.millers ideas and execution in this are amazing and really hammer home some truths.i won’t say much as you need this for yourself.i also really like the style of the artwork,it’s very different from lots of others I’ve read.dont be fooled by the slightly more cartoon appearance as this is definitely not one for the kids! As previously stated by many I think this was a pivotal point in graphic novels and really one every dc collector should have in their collection as things really changed after this.thanks miller you changed things for the better with this

Such an amazing and groundbreaking story of the Batman written by Frank Miller. This has been described by many as a game changer in the world of super hero comics. Such a captivating and well written story. Very tense throughout. There are lots of panels per page which at first may seem unusual, but for me after reading the first few pages I got use to it and realised that it’s very necessary to the way the story is written and drawn. This has an amazing ending also.

Great product and very informative. My son was very happy with it. Thank you.

the best. graphic novels don't get better than this.
