Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Review
…Please, Be Kind to Me Batman Fans
I’m on a big Batman kick right now. If it includes Batman, I’m consuming it. I’m re-watching Batman: The Animated Series, The Dark Knight Saga, the 80s and 90s Batman movies, and even watching Batman: The Brave and The Bold for the first time.
Hell, I even bought a matching set of Batman and Joker wallets.
Like I said, I’m on a kick.
In my quest to read 60 books this year, I’ve decided to count graphic novels toward that goal. So, I’m revisiting classic Batman graphic novels that I haven’t read in a long time. I already read Dark Victory and, holy rusted metal Batman, that is the best Batman graphic novel I’ve read in a long time. Then, I turned my attention to The Dark Knight Returns…
I’m going to just come out and say this…
I just don’t like The Dark Knight Returns.
I rated this graphic novel 1/5 on goodreads. I read TDKR a long time ago but I couldn’t recall much from it. I remember certain opinions I have about it but, who knows, perhaps time changed my opinions…
Unfortunately, my opinions haven’t changed. Please, let me explain why I don’t enjoy this graphic novel.
