Batman: The Dark Knight Returns 30th Ann

THE GREATEST COMOC BOOK OF ALL TIME TDKR BY MILLER IS AN ABOSULUTE MASTERPIECE WITH AMAZING ARTWORK AND A BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED STORYLINE WITH INSANE PSYCHOLOGICAL , PHILOSOPHICAL, AND REALISTIC DEPTH AND FUN FACT:- This book gets WAY better during a reread...

Absolutely beautiful. Resistance against age and entropy. Undying spirit in a world of no hope. Amazing book.

I was so highly anticipated to read this story, i first wanted to watch the movie but i decided to read it first, it is a simple story yet it's so nice to read especially the monologues and how he feels, each villain in each issue represents Bruce's physical and mental state, upto 3rd issue everything runs perfectly but in 4th issue, many of the situations felt rushed, especially how the fight with Superman began, but still i loved reading this, and I've recently gotten into comics and this is my third Batman comic

The book is one of the greatest comics of all time. I've read it more times than I can count. So I am not gonna review the book here, but the adjacent factors which may be a deciding factor for you. Starting off with the good things because there aren't many in my experience, the book's paper is great. It does justice to miller's and Janson's art and the colors pop but not in a terrible way. The paper has a matte finish so there's no cheap luster. The book is heavier than I expected, and the quality of publishing really shows. That's where it ends, now REVIEWING THE TERRIBLE DELIVERY OF AMAZON. Amazon is well known for their customer service, I have loved shopping from here for a decade now and rarely my experience is as bad as it is right now. The book was wrapped in a wrapping paper, yes that's it. Amazon, which would send you a rock in a bubble wrap and hard box, chose to package a sensitive comic book in a wrapping paper that sits tightly around the comic. Because of the terrible packaging, the Invoice of the bill has faded, somewhere the book got bent and got a massive ugly crease on the cover. Some of the interior pages are stained and the edges of the pages are bent so much out of shape that they might as well tear apart. This is the first comic that I've bought with my own money, and I plan to collect more as time goes by, Amazon gives you the best service and quality delivery but if the delivery standards for book deliveries don't increase then it'll be a damn shame. Thankfully they do give an option to replace the book which I've taken. I hope the delivery is much better now. If you're buying this book for the story and as a collector goes for it, maybe my experience is a rare unlucky moment, but make sure that you get an option to replace or return the book or look for alternatives. When I'm paying 1k for a 4-decade old book I'm honestly expecting a crisp and clean experience. Thanks for reading this review hope it helped. UPDATE: the refund and return process was absolutely simple and smooth and very happy with the product that came. The handling was much better.

Just what i needed

I totally get now why it's called one of greatest Batman comics... I never thought I'd love something by Miller more than Year One... what a story... so many things went on in only four issues... it's not only one of the best Batman comics but also one of the best Superman and one of the best Joker comics... I would've loved to read it in my teens... but very satisfying to read it at last... Hats off to Frank Miller Story: 11/10 Art: 7.5/10

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns is a seminal work that completely changed how Batman comics were being written. Frank Miller reintroduced a darker, grittier and more grounded Bruce Wayne, that was perhaps lost in the era of somewhat funny and whimsical Batman movies of the 80's. It delves into the psychology of Batman, what makes him tick. It also shows a more calculative and experienced Batman, who while is not as agile as his younger self but makes up for his lost youth through calculated and precise strikes. I was recommended this book, and now I am a believer.

Every single panel oozes power and meaning. Hard to put down, evocative, and gripping till the very end. This is quintessential reading if you're into comic books, even if you're not a fan of Batman. This is the foundational pillar of the more serious and darker DC media, not like the stupid DC films which come out now trying so hard that they've made "dark" into a meme. Spoiler P.S: Don't read this just for the BvS fight. It's got many more themes to it than that to appreciate.

Comprato come regalo per un appassionato di Batman. È stato molto apprezzato. La copertina è morbida e i disegni molto belli. La storia molto bella è stata l'ispirazione per il film Batman. Vs Superman. Non può mancare per gli appassionati di Batman.

This is one of the classic Batman stories, and one of the books that changed superhero stories in general. A must read for any comic fan interested in the artform. Pretty sure this print has a typo in the introduction as I've never heard of a Dick Spring... Dick SPRANG on the other hand is a phenomenal artist.

Loved this!! Had already seen the animated original movie but still, reading this gave me goosebumps again. Product was delivered on time and in good condition

Livré rapidement et en parfait état.

Wenn es einen Batman Comic gibt, den jeder Fan kennen muss, und welcher diese Figur maßgeblich (neu-) definiert hat, dann ist es ganz ohne Frage BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS. Mit diesem Comic wurde Ende der 80er Jahre eine regelrechte Renaissance von Batman eingeläutet, deren Auswirkung auch heute noch spürbar sind und welche den Grundstein für Vieles legte, was sich in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten im Batman-Universum (und nicht nur dort!) tat. Vermutlich muss man andere Schwergewichte wie "Watchmen" nennen, um die Bedeutung und die Auswirkungen von BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS adäquat zu umreißen. Sprich: an BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS geht kein Weg vorbei, schon gar nicht, wenn man sich auch nur ansatzweise Batman interessiert... so einfach ist das. Die Worte "Pflichtkauf", "Kult" und "Meisterwerk" werden sicherlich häufig überstrapaziert und zu leichtfertig verwendet, aber hier ist es die reine Wahrheit. Wer sich für Batman (oder für Superhelden allgemein) interessiert kommt um BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS nicht herum, und ich bin mir ganz sicher, dass die Comicwelt in den letzten 30 Jahren ohne diesen Comic anders ausgesehen hätte... schlichtweg, weil BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS unbestritten viele Werke beeinflusst hat. Die Geschichte funktioniert auch heute noch sehr gut und ist immer noch packend und sehr dynamisch erzählt – ich las diesen Comic erstmals 1989 und habe ihn mir vor einigen Tagen noch mal zu Gemüte geführt... und dabei stellte ich einmal mehr fest, wie gut und mitreißend dieser Comic erzählt ist - und wie gut die Geschichte gealtert ist, selbst wenn viele Elemente diese Story mittlerweile absolute Batman Standard sind, kann die Handlung immer wieder begeistern. Batman wird hier nicht nur älter, sondern auch finsterer, fanatischer und schlichtweg härter geschildert als es bis dahin üblich war - und genau dadurch bekam die Figur seinerzeit eine für damalige Verhältnisse ganz neue und völlig schlüssige Tiefe. Keine Frage: 5 Sterne sind hier völlig unumgänglich.
