    The Dark Knight Returns is Frank Miller’s epic graphic novel about the Batman and his return from retirement to once again drive fear into the hearts of Gotham’s criminals.

    Summary of the Book

    Ten years ago, the Government forced the Batman to retire. Bruce Wayne is a bare remnant of the man he once was. He has grown a moustache. He either drinks himself senseless or recklessly drives prototype race cars almost as though with a death wish. On the tenth anniversary of the Batman’s disappearance, Wayne meets Commissioner James Gordon. Gordon faces his own retirement in a few weeks, and comments that the times have changed. Something about the meeting changes Bruce’s decision and forces him out of retirement. He takes to the rooftops and once again begins his one man war against crime. However, he may not have much time to relive his glory days for his return does not bode well with the President of the United States. The President sends his best man to convince Bruce to throw down the cape and cowl once and for all. However, is even Superman man enough to take down Batman?

    A very Dark knight

    I don't write reviews, almost never. This time, I am.
    I'm a self confessed Batman fanatic, not just because he's very cool, not just because he has that mask, that cape, the batmobile, the spangled bat on his chest, or billions of dollars. Its his psyche that draws me in, his motivations, his moral ambiguity, his machine like modus operandi. This classic by Frank Miller, is the best medium that brings the dark of Batman into light. It surpasses the Nolan trilogy, pretty much any piece of art...

    the true magic of dark knight returns...

    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.....

    classic|!!!!

    The plot is really good .THE story can be divided into two parts first two chapters and last two chapters.The colouring in the first part and nearly two thirds in the second part are very light.IF you are a fast paced reader read the first two chapters twice .THE usage of WORDS in the first two chapters are very good.it is definitely a classic .

    A landmark Batman graphic novel

    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 t...
