The Dark Knight Stuns! - By: Chris Wood, 22 Oct 2008
Starting off with anarchy approaching Gotham, Batman as an older man finds himself pulled back into vigilante activities with a variety of mean, ugly threats to be dealt with.

The art & the writingin this are excellent & this is a really gripping read. This is recommended even if you aren't a big graphic novel fan, as the action pulls youin & the story is very compelling. A great read.
SUPERB! - By: Red Queen, 28 Sep 2008
Only a few comics such as Watchmen can be considered to be as good as Batman: The Dark Night Returns. However, where Watchmen had a myriad of different characters, The Dark Night Returns with its single protagonist is better able to create characters the reader can emphasise with.

The reader is introduced to an ageing Bruce Wayne who has come out of retirement to continue his vengeful fight against crime. This dark, disturbed & sad character is pitted against those he once considered allies, new enemies that are stronger than him & an all too familiar nemesis. The story is wonderfully written, well paced with a few twists & turns that keep the story interesting & a surprise shock ending with a manin tights. The artwork is brilliant, quick loose drawings capturing the action & suspense of a dark brooding storyin a way some comics are unable to achieve.

Batman: The Dark Night Returns is a must own & a must read. The story is brilliantly told & features a damaged, weary character that draws youin to his own one man war.

The Greatest.... - By: Julian Nunn, 24 Jul 2008
In all types of history there are defining moments. A moment that is so extraordinary that you have to see it again to believe what you have just seen. It sometimes takes time for the dust to settle to appreciate such a moment.
This comic is one of those moments.
The Dark Knight Returns took a tired out superhero genre & re-injected it with the modern paced style we see today. A comic thatin fact saved the superhero himself. The multi-layering of story linesin this epic tale is almost cinematicin its construction.
Maybe a little dated now, but at the time it re-defined everythingin comics & the way superheroes where percieved. If you are a fan of Batman, this should be the cornerstone to your collection.
DARK KNIGHT RETURNS - By: M. Green, 23 Jul 2008
If you are used to the slick, photo-realistic art of some modern Graphic Novels/Comics, then the look of this book may take some getting used to... but get passed that, & it's one of the best comics you'll ever read.
A very good read. - By: G. R. Stovold, 05 Jun 2008
If I had to choose one word to describe this, I would choose the word epic. Why? Because its an interesting look on how Bruce Wayne would handle himselfin his later years with excellent action sequences & crisp dialogue. There's really only one thing bad about this, & that is the lack of Joker. Sure he'sin it, but he's not really as important to the plot as he should have been. And he's camper than ever. But aside from that, buy it. It should tickle your fetish.
