    The Dark Knight Returns
    Publisher: DC Comics
    Issues: 4
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Knight_Returns


    I have sent out the PMs with the links for the comics and we will begin reading now. The deadline for both comics is two weeks. Although, if the majority finishes in one week, like I suspect we will, then we can begin nominations for our next activity.

    50 pages and what would be the first issue, done.

    Seems alright so far. Batman just got back into the costume after 10 years and is kicking ass like hes in his 30s.

    I finished it and I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. It's really only based around one fact: what would Batman be like if he was older. The villains were flat, which is a cardinal sin in the Batman universe, except Joker who was still sort of eh. I'll talk more when others finish it.

    I've finally finished it! I thought it was pretty good. I agree with Shogun the villains didn't have much of a motive. But, despite the poor artwork I thought it was pretty decent story overall. Still can't get over the fact that Robin is a girl and Superman was in the comic!!

    So I know I'm not really in the club, but i have read this so i figured I'd put in my two cents. Now mind you It's been awhile so If i get something wrong just correct me.

    first off I was very displeased with the fact the "The boy wonder" was a girl. It just felt wrong.

    Second, was the depiction of superman. Now I'm not a fan of superman, but i feel like they took away from his character. Superman has gone against the government many times and him being a lapdog, well... I guess they have to figure out a way to fight anyway. :p

    the last thing I want to say about it is that other than the two things I stated, It really wasn't bad. It had some really awesome stuff that happened, like batman coming out of retirement and still kicking ***. Not to mention the comic brought Oliver Queen back to relevance.

    Adaptation fixes everything that was off. The movie is damn good as I'm watching it right now.
    A little bonus:
