The Greatest Graphic Novel ever written

Date of Review:  May 11, 2001
The Bottom Line: Only reason it gets five stars is because that is the highest I can give it.
Review: 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,...

Hush, hear the lower tones of the characters minds

Date of Review:  Nov 20, 2001
The Bottom Line: Read and look at this work of art to see a complete reinvention of superheroes and their world. Sheer beauty in artwork and story.
Review: 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,...

What Happens When Batman Retires? Bat-Golfing? NOPE.

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: The Best Batman Book EVER. Literature, not a comic book.
Review: "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"...

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, by Frank Miller and Klaus Jansen

Date of Review:  Aug 31, 2003
The Bottom Line: Now I have to wait another 10 years or so, so I can read it again with fresh eyes.
Review: Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns is the story about the death of a crime fighter, and the birth of a Hero.

In 1986, before going back to write the very first Batman story, Batman: Year One, Frank Miller gave the world what was, at that...

The ultimate Batman origin story

Date of Review:  Jun 23, 2000
Review: 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 everything...

Date of Review:  Mar 16, 2000
Review: "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.

This is the comic book miniseries that revived...

I know Batman and You, Sir, Are No Batman

Date of Review:  Jul 23, 2000
Review: 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...

What happens when Batman retires?

Date of Review:  Jul 30, 2001
The Bottom Line: Batman comics got a facelift in the 90's and this is the comic book that was responsible.
Review: 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 dark,...

The Caped Crusader, fresh out of retirement

Date of Review:  Jun 23, 2000
Review: 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...

Simply the best

Date of Review:  May 10, 2000
Review: 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...
