 The Dark Knight Stuns! October 22, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Starting off with anarchy approaching Gotham, Batman as an older man finds himself pulled back into vigilante activities with a variety of mean, ugly threats to be dealt with.
The art & the writing in this are excellent & this is a really gripping read. This is recommended even if you aren't a big graphic novel fan, as the action pulls you in and the story is very compelling. A great read.
If you call yourself a fan... October 16, 2008

Frank Miller's story of Batman coming out of retirement gave more of an insight into the play by play thinking behind Batman's actions than I thought was possible. Bruce Wayne is a living thinking creature of absolute self surety. This novel makes you wish Frank Miller had put in his two cents on every Batman adventure before. He knows how Batman thinks better than anyone else.

This is a great story. So much has been said about "The Dark Knight Returns" that I doubt I could say anything original. The book does a great job in addressing the issues facing an aging Bruce Wayne, having retired the mantle of the Batman 10 years earlier, in a crumbling Gotham. If you are a Batman fan, you have to make sure you read this. If you're a comic book fan at all, you should do your best. If you're not a fan of either, but are curious, this is a great book to get you in to with a character that most people are familiar with.
Read it.
Very high-quality graphic novel. October 5, 2008
This is a great purchase for anyone wanting a good Batman comic who's familiar with Batman and his journey through the years. His return sparks much interest throughout Gotham and the world and one of his friends that has fought along side him against the villians of the DC universe. The imagery is surreal and Frank Miller has outdone himself again.
The shipping was quick, and my new copies were delivered without any hassles. This is a great buy.
 Not bad, but not great September 15, 2008

I bought this book shortly after reading Watchmen because it got me into the spirit of graphic novels. Unfortunately, this is not nearly as good as Watchmen. It does have some depth, but the writing and story is nothing to get too excited about.
The artwork is interesting and fits the mood of the story, but I felt at times that perhaps it was a bit too loose and stylized. There were some illustrations that I plain didn't like at all.
I enjoyed reading it and it had some good points, but overall it was just ok for me.
