''Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again'' was a three issue [[Batman]] mini-series written and illustrated by [[Frank Miller]] with Lynn Varley in 2001-2002, the sequel to 1986's ''[[
Set three years after the events of ''[[
Of course, Batman won't be having that, so he and his allies--Catgirl, the [[Green Arrow]], and his Batboys--set out to change the world by [[Violence Is the Only Option|judicious application of violence]]. But first, they need allies--and they need to deal with [[Superman]], who is still in the thrall of the government...
Overall it goes further off the deep end than ''[[

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: {{spoiler|Dick Grayson of the [[Depraved Homosexual]] variety}}
* [[Aluminum Christmas Trees]]: At least [[Atop the Fourth Wall|one commentator]] regarded ''News in the Nude'' with incredulity, apparently being unaware of ''[[wikipedia:Naked News|Naked News.]]''
Line 61 ⟶ 59:
* [[Too Soon]]: Yeah, having half a major city reduced to a smoky ruin not even a year after 9/11? This was unintentional though. The comic was written and drawn before 9/11 but it wasn't published until very little afterwards.
** Frank mentioned in documentary on comics that aired on the History Channel that Superman {{spoiler|finding that Lois died in Luthor's [[Kill Sat]] attack}} was his way of coping with 9/11.
* [[Villain Decay]]: Brainiac and Lex Luthor aren't nearly as smart in TDKSA as they are in other stories. In fact, some of the decisions they make are downright moronic.
* [[We ARE Struggling Together!]]: [[Green Arrow]] and [[The Question]], in that one wants Marxist Socialism, and the other Randian Objectivism.
Line 71 ⟶ 66:
* [[Zeerust Canon]]: published 15 years later, but only takes place two years later.
* [[Zorro Mark]]: Batman carves one onto Lex Luthor's face.

** The film that young Bruce Wayne had just seen with his parents before their demise was "The Mark of Zorro" starring Tyrone Power. Also a [[Call Back]] to [[The Dark Knight Returns]] when the now retired Wayne breaks down in tears after seeing the movie on TV for the first time in fifty years.
** Depending on who you ask, much of Batman's mythology was either inspired by or shamelessly ripped-off from Zorro. Don Diego Rivera was rich and acted like an effete douchebag most of the time, but operated as a vigilante out of a cave beneath his mansion with the aid of his butler. Not exactly unfamiliar.
