Many of you may not read batman comics, but I've become enthralled in them. It all began with this single book, Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. Maybe some of you know of it, maybe all of you do. If you don't, I suggest you give it a read. Before reading this, I hadn't read a comic book in almost ten years. This book, is beautifully crafted and perhaps is the single greatest beat down Superman ever got from a mere human. Those of you that have read it, what did you think? Those of you that haven't, what are you waiting for?

I thought it was too cheesy, tbh

Haven't read it yet, but I love Arkham Asylum: A Serious House On Serious Earth. The artwork in that book is unbelievable.

I have that and it's sequal of course

I really liked Year One. I also liked the artwork in Hush. I have read a lot more, but I am still waking up.

The Long Halloween was pretty awesome.

That does not even make sense.

My uncle gave me The Dark Knight Returns when I was about 6. I didn't have the same appreciation for it as I do now, but yes, it's a landmark for comics and maybe Miller's best work. It's damn good, either way.

Dark Knight Strikes Again was kind of a disappointment, though.

The Long Halloween is another great one. Check out Batman: Arkham Asylum, too, if only for the art.

If you take everything Frank Miller has ever written into account, it makes perfect sense. :P
