About this listen
Step into a groundbreaking moment in comic book history! In 1986, Frank Miller unleashed The Dark Knight Returns and turned the superhero world upside down. Picture this: a gritty, dystopian Gotham where an older, battle-worn Bruce Wayne straps on the cape one last time. But this isn't your father's Batman story – it's a revolutionary tale that changed comics forever and eerily predicted today's debates about vigilante justice, media frenzy, and the price of power. Join us as we dive deep into the graphic novel that dared to ask: what happens when the Dark Knight grows old in a world that's only getting darker?
