Kein Zweifel, 27. April 2007
Dies ist ein Meilenstein der Comicgeschichte. Nach diesem Buch war nichts mehr wie vorher, und mit ihm ging das "Bronze Age" der Comics zu Ende und das "Modern Age" begann. Weg ist der lachende, witzelnde Technikbastler mit Heldenambitionen der 50er und 60er, weg ist der Detektiv der 70er und 80er. Hier ist der Psychotiker, der zerfressene, getriebene dunkle Ritter, der Faschist, der Vigilant, der das Recht in die eigene Hand nimmt. Waren die problembehafteten Marvel-Helden der 60er noch Identifikationsfiguren (Spider-Man mit seinen Geld- und Jugendproblemen etc.), so ist dieser "Held" kein Vorbild mehr, und psychisch nicht weit von seinen durchgeknallten Gegnern entfernt.
Miller ist ein extrem kontroverser Künstler - man beachte die Rezensionen hier auf Amazon.de für sein "300" und "Sin City". Er polarisiert mit seiner Darstellung von Sex und Gewalt, einem gerüttelten Maß an halbfaschistoiden und sexistischen Anspielungen, und seinen häufig anzutreffenden politischen Botschaften. Man mag ihm gegenüberstehen, wie man will - an seinen Werken kommt man, wenn man sich nur ansatzweise für Comics interessiert, nicht vorbei. Sie sind unbequem und sehr selten auch nur im entferntesten "political correct".
Dafür erhält man spannende, intelligente und faszinierende Unterhaltung - Millers Talent, eine gute Story zu erzählen, und seine unzweifelhafte Begabung, atmosphärisch extrem dichte Zeichnungen zu schaffen, beeindrucken; seine Arbeiten sind wuchtig wie ein Schlag in den Magen.
Ein Muss!Lesen!

I shouldn't even have to post a review, 15. Mai 2000
This is a true masterpiece that shows superhero comics can be socially relevant. I think back to when the original 4 issues were released, and I thought "An OLD Batman, still duking it out? Please!" Then I bought the leatherbound "Frank Miller's Batman", at a remainder price no less, and was floored. I know that this story is considered an Elseworlds tale, but I like to think that this is how Batman will actually wrap it up. I've been reading comics for 25 years, and I get tired of the same heroes having the same adventures, never aging, not changing with the times, and so on. The interesting thing is that this story reflects so many attitudes of the '80s, but it's not dated by any means. Many people gripe these days about how comics have been soured by the grim and gritty, "Goetterdaemmerung" trend (Dark Knight, Watchmen, The Golden Age), but I think that more heroes would benefit from this kind of treatment. I like to know where they are going, for a change, and it shouldn't always be a happy ending.

A great one., 8. April 2000
Where Watchmen picked apart everything superheroes were about, Dark Knight Returns says it doesn't matter. It's just a stylish, artistic achievement, entertaining all the way through. This is the best Batman comic yet and ranks behind Watchmen as the best comic ever. The art is what makes this so good for me. Frank Miller's layouts are stylish, cinematic, and surprisingly offbeat. Frequent Miller collaborator, Klaus Jansen's inks are good as they ever were. And Lynn Varley, who colors every color comic Miller draws these days, does excellent with paint.

The Penultimate Batman Narrative, 19. März 2000
Often have I heard the praises sung for Frank Miller and his work on Daredevil. Though I have not read any of those compilations, they can hardly be better than The Dark Knight Returns. Here is a work (along with Alan Moore's Watchmen) that truly proves that comic books are a legitimate literary medium. The Dark Night Returns on the surface is a story of an aging Bruce Wayne who realizes that his true destiny is to be the Batman, and subsequently comes out of retirement. Beneath this narrative, however, is a tale (less a tale than a commentary) on the state of our society. Miller's artwork is subtle and mercurial. In some panels his artistry cannot be matched even by the likes of Frazetta, and in others his art is simplistic and even messy, a genius stroke to convey slight, difficult changes in mood and scene. His evenly-spaced panels, his "overuse" of television-like segments, all point to a post-modern masterpiece of literature and a deep understanding of the comic medium's power. Comics are a most potent combination of television and literature that hits the reader with a one-two punch of reality and fantasy. The book's symbolism is subtle, yet obvious, a difficult thing to evoke in your standard comic. This work MUST be read at least twice, as there are a great deal of instances in dialogue, etc. that are lost on the reader the first time through. Comments made by reporters or bystanders or merely in narration boxes that seen insignificant and throwaway are often powerful vehicles for metaphor, symbolism, and foreshadowing and must be paid attention to to get the whole picture. I would rank this book among the greatest comic stories ever told, along with: the continuing saga of Blade of the Immortal by Hiroaki Samura; the aforementioned Watchmen by Alan Moore; Marvels and Kingdom Come, both masterfully illustrated by Alex Ross; and, for the light-action seeker, Battle Chasers: A Gathering of Heroes by Joe Madureira. Check it out and enjoy!

One of the all time great comic books, 6. Januar 2000
Von Ein Kunde
This book is magnificent. It centers on an aged and retired Batman, coming out of retirement to clean up a corrupt Gotham City. In the comic he battles Harvey Dent, The Joker, a gang called "The Mutants", and another caped superhero you MAY have heard of before....some guy by the name of SUPERMAN! The art takes some getting used to, but now I think it's great. Particularly interesting are various newscasts from Gotham News interspersed throughout the stories. It provokes some deep thought when you see people out there committing crimes IN BATMAN'S NAME! This is fantastic all around. Kudos to Frank Miller for redefining Batman, if only the movies were like this!

Just plain great, 13. August 1999
Frank Miller redefined comic books in the '80's with his groundbreaking work on Marvel's Daredeveil and "Dark Knight" his gritty take on a futuristic Batman. Believe it or not, "Dark Knight Returns" changed the world of comic books, making them not just for kids anymore. Frank Miller's Batman is gritty and well, dark. Frank weaves a fantastic story and his layouts are just awesome. This is the definitive Batman tale, taking place in the near future with an aging Bruce Wayne coming out of retirement to take back Gotham City from a handful of bad guys such as the Joker, Two-Face, and a savage group of Batman worshippers. This includes the LAST battle between Batman and Joker and a showdown between Batman and Superman! This is a must for any comics fan as well as anyone who ever read a Batman comic. But beware, it is for mature readers.

Don't believe the Hype!, 8. Juli 1999
Von Ein Kunde
Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" is commonly counted among the most important comic-books of all times. It is important only as an example of how not to do it.Sometime in the future Batman's alter ego Bruce Wayne has a near-death experience which has a rejuvenating effect on him, so that the fiftysomething is soon able to don his cape again and battle crime as he did when he was younger. Very soon news reports about this new crime-fighter abound and he becomes something of an urban legend, inspiring parts of Gotham city's population to turn to vigilantism. After Batman disposes of most of his old arch-enemies, the American government sends an unlikely opponent to fight the Batman, who has become a nuisance to them: Superman. The comic book has gorgeous artwork, which walks a good balance between cartoon and realism. Unfortunately the story can't keep up with the art at all. I don't mind re-working of characters, but if you take an element which is essential to the character away I wonder why this character was used for the story at all (one of the reasons Batman became the caped crusader was his hatred for guns; in the story he uses them aplenty). The critique on the media and people taking the law into their own hands could have been told much more elegantly and shorter, especially because Miller indulges so much in the aforementioned violence, that one might think that he enjoys it more than he wants to criticize it. Had the story been told using a character who wasn't so defined so differently from his portrayal here, it would have been a much better read, but as it stands, neither the good art, nor the excellent supporting characters can't save this Batman story whose main character is so unlike Batman. (Dies ist eine Amazon.de an der Uni-Studentenrezension.)

Re-invention is not always the best path, 24. August 1998
While this book can be said to be the one work to usher in the modern age of comics, I find it not as entertaining or stimulating as many other tales of the Batman. Miller really never displays a knack for the characterization of the Batman, and he seems to muddle through much of the convoluted story trying to figure out what Batman is and what he stands for. Most contemptible is the relationship Miller describes between Batman and Superman, which I find to be very off base. Of course, Batman could beat Superman, but never in that way. Also, Miller's art falls short from earlier and more terrific works such as in the Wolverine limited-series. All in all, not a great triumph for the Dark Knight.

Comic Storytelling At it's best!, 27. Juli 1998
Von Ein Kunde
Frank Miller's Tour De Force is possibly the best comic story ever told. First, he gives us an all too possible world that is Gotham. Crime and social chaos at there worst would seem like Gotham to me. Secondly, the Heroes are bigger than life, yet have all the weakness and flaws we suffer from. I could see Bruce Wayne as a real person on many levels. When he wakes in fright from reoccurring dreams, we realize Wayne is a haunted warrior forced to do what he does to reach some sanity, not because he is a glory lover. The villians are the most fantastic, as the Joker is pure Psycopath. Batman is haunted in his decision to let Joker live as long as he has, afraid to become like him. Two-Face, a tragic man, forced to face his own evil in a man once on the side of good. Superman's rumbling no-show appearance brings us in to the true power and fear that a real Superman would bring to our world. Green Arrow(Oliver Queen) is what has become of most "Heroes"! as we learn that others have gone "home" or fleed the planet. The comic may be too intense for young readers, as scenes with Selina Kyle(Catwoman) show. The art is spectacular. The power is mesmerising, as you'll spend many hours just going back over the artwork. So I recommend The Dark Knight Returns, which may be the greatest Batman story Ever told, expect for maybe Batman: Year One, also by Miller. Also highly recommended is the Killing Joke by Moore and Bolan.

WHY DOES EVERYONE LIKE THIS?, 1. Juli 1998
Von Ein Kunde
AFTER ENDLESS PRAISE, I WAS LURED INTO READING WATCHMEN, AND FOUND IT TO BE ONE OF THE BEST READING EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE. I FIGURED THAT DARK KNIGHT WOULD HAVE TO BE JUST AS GOOD.WRONG. THE ART WAS ODD. AT TIMES IT LOOKED WONDERFUL, LIKE THE SCENES OF JOKER ON THE TALK SHOW, AND MANY OF THE FULL PAGE, MID-AIR SHOTS. AT OTHERS, LIKE JUST ABOUT ANY FIGHT SCENE, THE CHARACTERS LOOK CARTOONY, AND AT TIMES THEY SEEM EGG-SHAPED. THE STORY IS HORRIBLE, BASICALLY CONSISTING OF BATMAN COMING OUT OF RETIREMENT. MEANWHILE, NOTHING HAPPENS. WORST OF ALL THOUGH, IS THE THING THAT SHOULD DEFINE BATMAN: CHARACTERS. BATMAN HIMSELF IS THE SAME AS ALWAYS: A SHELL WEARING A CAPE. ROBIN IS... UUGGHH. IF YOU'RE A DARK SOULESS CREATURE OF THE NIGHT WHO CHEATS DEATH ON A REGULAR BASIS, WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING A 12-YEAR-OLD (OF EITHER GENDER) COMING ALONG WITH YOU, WEARING BLINDINGLY BRIGHT CLOTHING AND LEGGERY. FRANK MILLER SAYS IT'S TO MAKE BATMAN LOOK BIGGER, BUT I KNOW THE REAL REASON; TO DRAW GUNFIRE AWAY FROM BATMAN. TWO-FACE, IN ONE OF THE BOOKS HUGEST FLAWS, HAS NO PERSONALITY TO SPEAK OF. HE'S JUST THERE TO GET THROWN THROUGH WINDOWS AND LOOK DEFORMED. THE JOKER, WHO SHOULD BE FILLED TO OVERFLOWING WITH PERSONALITY AND ENERGY, INSTEAD JUST SITS AROUND SMOKING, AND, IN A VERY BIZARE TURN OF EVENTS, REVEALS TO BATMAN THAT HE LOVES THE DARK KNIGHT. UUUM...? GREEN ARROW IS THE ONLY LIKEABLE CHARACTER IN THE WHOLE THING. AND SUPERMAN... WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE? OVER ALL ONE OF THE MOST OVERRATED COMIX OF ALL TIME. IF YOU WANT A GOOD BATMAN STORY, TRY ARKHAM ASYLUM OR THE KILLING JOKE.
