The Dark Knight Strikes Again: Difference between revisions

''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 ''[[The Dark Knight Returns (Comic Book)|The Dark Knight Returns]]''.

Set three years after the events of ''[[The Dark Knight Returns (Comic Book)|The Dark Knight Returns]]'', the world has managed to go downhill since then- the President is a fake, and the police state of a world is run by [[Lex Luthor]] and Brainiac, who has many a hero enslaved.

Overall it goes further off the deep end than ''[[The Dark Knight Returns (Comic Book)|The Dark Knight Returns]]'', almost to the point of being a Deconstruction of the [[Darker and Edgier]] nature of the first story though, naturally, [[Your Mileage May Vary|not everyone thinks that makes it any good.]] The color palette is much more varied than ''[[The Dark Knight Returns]]''' muted colorization, taking it to an almost garish degree, that takes a little getting used to (many reviewers termed it ugly).
