Book Reviews of Absolute Dark Knight
Book Review: The Dark Knight Returns is Essential even for non-comic reading book fans.
Summary: 5 Stars
A one-two punch of a set in one amazing volume. There are examples of a medium that so much represent the best there is that it transcends the traditional audience. The Dark Knight Returns, the first of two volumes in this set, is such a work. The 15-years between it's sequel, The Dark Knight Rides Again, seem to change the momentum. While it is sometimes fun and always interesting, it is merely a ride-along compared to the first volume. Bottom line, this is worth it alone for The Dark Knight Returns- the sequel is just icing.
There are two odd omissions here- one was the Frank Miller Batman:Year-one story and the other was his Batman x-mas short.
