Batman: The Dark Knight Returns

Ahh, this one! This book is the all time classic Graphic Novel that created an altogether different world which is chaotic, violent and dark! Batman, the dark knight, is back long after his retirement. The world has changed a lot and it's not clear which is white and which is black. To stop the ever growing crime in Gotham city the aged fighter once again puts on his cape and mask which ultimately results in a classic battle between him and another great super hero - the Superman! But this book is not the end, instead, just the beginning. The book quality is superb, packaging and delivery is smooth and extra-great. As always, Flipkart delivered it on time.

For serious comic/graphic novel lovers - surely this one's is worth buying!

The year was 1986. Modestly priced at $2.95 per issue,a four-part Batman story was published by DC comics, which was collected one year later as "Batman: The dark knight returns". Till today, considered one of the most important events in the "Batman" canon and the Comic book industry as a whole, the story shows an old Bruce Wayne returning as Batman after ten years (and the Joker coming out of a vegetative state....). The story is mature, fast-paced , dark and gripping. Frank Miller begins takes his first steps into the batman universe, with art by claus janson and lynn varley. The pages seem a little claustrophobic, but complement the sense of chaos in the story. a Must-Read for any "Batman" fan.

THE DARK KNIGHT returns have too many aspects that should be brought into light...
1-if you try to assume that the DARK KNIGHT novel is not a fiction and it’s just collection of some random incidents and their news reports that are happening around us, you will be truly lost in its environment. Very-very detailed...
2-if you think of it like some movie, you will be completely amazed by its speed and smooth transitions with perfect movie graph. I think it’s like having a 3D effect on a paper... very edgy and powerful action...
3-if you see it as a trend setter and a revolutionary graphic novel; you will be mesmerized to see how FRANK MILLER gave it a NEO-NOIR and PUNK style which later became a cult for the whole comic book industry...very-very hypnotic...
Everybody should read it just for one time; it’s like some religious text in the world of comics and graphic novel....
go for it...

"The mutant gang" has plunged Gotham City into streets of chaos and anarchy. The cold war with Russia is still on, Gordon is about to retire in few weeks and fate of people of Gotham lies in the hands of inept lawmakers. Bruce who hasn't wore the Batman suite for last 10 years is still haunted by his childhood memory. He had taken a vow to hunt down the criminals and bring them to justice but time has taken its toll, He is not so fast and strong anymore, So can he once again rise to the moment ?

"An excellent work by Frank Miller in his prime".

This is simply the best Batman story i have ever read.Most importantly it has the Joker and the Superman battling Batman.We get to see a new Robin and the determination of The Dark Knight is spectacular.
