Frank Miller’s seminal graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns presents a relatively innovative and unprecedented interpretation of Bob Kane’s Caped Crusader, Batman.

On top of that, Batman has a much more absolutist, black-and-white version of justice, in which Batman’s inherent vigilantism is taken to its furthest conclusion. ...

The hateful mid-afternoon sun beat down us as if in complete spite and outrage that we dared defy it. As I looked up into the crowd I was reminded of the words of Mohandas Gandhi that satisfaction lies in effort and not in attainment or success. Once, during the uncomfortably ho afternoon, even the little wind that had made the rest of the morning bearable had finally kept off, so much so that the air then felt like a thick and wet blanket. My skin felt equally dry and sticky with dry sweat and dust, but it did not ...
