Book Reviews of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
Book Review: What can I say
Summary: 5 Stars
This graphic novel is fantastic. All we ever see is Batman forever in his 30's. This book takes you beyond those years and into twenty years past the retirement of Batman. Bruce Wayne is bored with his life as it is, he sees the way the world is and decides (well Batman) decides to do something about it. This book shows you Batman for what he really is - a psyco - one who is as infatuated about what he does as the villains he captures. I recommend this to allBook Review: absoultly fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
this is a book feturing a modern batman, not the cliched stories aimed at 8 year old boys. it is the best piece of american comic literature i have ever read.THe superman stand offs are great.Frank Miller is a genius, and i reacomend all his writings especially SIN CITY but this is just off the scale , moving, scary ,violent, brillent. a COMIC that the wasington post decided to reive as a NOVEL. I'd recommend this for grown ups tough.Book Review: Probably the best modern graphic novel
Summary: 5 Stars
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns is the ultimate Batman novel. Without reverting to murder, an older Batman becomes the ultimate vigilante, violent, sage and ultimately efficient. While Superman becomes a slave to a bureaucratic legalistic policital system, Batman remains an icon of pure justice, a force of biblical retribution and redemption. Despite its age this remains an incredibly drawn novel and the story is extremely well scripted. For now, this is the ultimate graphic novel.Book Review: There is no better graphic novel available.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought and read this book at Xmas 1986,having not read a superhero comic/graphic novel for about 10 years.It made me realise how much I loved and missed the world of DC and Marvel.Since then I have been as avid a fan as I ever was, but I have to say that this novel is unmatched by anything I've read either before or after.Bruce Wayne is old,Batman is a story parents tell their kids to frighten them and Gotham City is more violent than ever.All the ingredients are there for a dramatic and violent return of the dark knight.A lot of the old characters are in there-Superman(and the showdown that was always on the cards)Green Arrow,Catwoman and THE JOKER.If you really thought you knew how much of an evil psycopath this guy is then read this novel and think again.There is only one true super villain-buy it.Book Review: The best graphic novel Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book about 5 years ago, and it still is the best I have ever read. Some came close to match its perfection, but it still is the best of the lot. My recomendation? if you haven't got it already, but it now.
