Batman: The Dark Knight Returns

Frank Miller is a well-known and an amazing artist. He has given us Ronin, Sin City and 300, and they were unforgettable. Now the turn it’s his turn to make a Batman comic. Will this be a real Dark Knight adventure, or will it just be a new Robin?

In Gotham city the criminal life live again. The gang called Mutants is controlling Gotham be night, and the Batman haven’t been seen in 10 years. Jim Gordon is about to retire, but the new and younger criminal gangs are not afraid at night, and the murdered victim count begins to rise fast. Then after, what you could call a sign from above, an old Bruce Wayne decides to ones again take the role as the caped crusader. But after a really cool comeback, where Batman must admit his a little older, he is challenged by the Mutants leader, where he gets a big kickback. Even though we quickly see that age, don’t make the Batman less persistent. With a new Robin, which be the way is a girl, he is determined to show the new generation that he is back in business. The whole thing begins to escalates when a new gang group called “The sons of the Batman” appears, and when superman, the Joker and the whole police force is dragged into the whole mess it becomes one of Batman hardest challenges yet, and maybe one of the most remember able adventures yet. Yet the ending is the saddest and best written yet.

“Batman: The Dark Knight Returns” is a really great comic, and Frank Miller does an amazing job. As said it’s really fantastic, but I just kind of think it is missing something. I can’t put my finger on it, but it just does miss something, or maybe I just am not that integrated in Frank Millers way to tell a story. But non or less an incredible tale of the last days of The Dark Knight. This is certainly a tale worthy of the Batman.
