Batman: The Dark Knight Returns 30th Ann

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

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

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

Although the packaging of the book was not so bad, but the book was very poorly maintained. There was this sticker with heavy glue on both side of cover few pages inside the book was torn and over all quality us bad. But as for the story it is the definitive Batman story with beautiful artworks and one of the best storyline if all time from Frank Miller. If you don't know anything about the character this is the starting point

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.

Amazing story, hit or miss art, not to everyones taste. Has few sequels as well so plan your purchases, but this itself is also a complete story so can be bought standalone. If you have seen the animated films, this is same, nothing different.

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.
