However, in the actual story, Miller represents the media to be on the side of people who claim that the Batman, who has recently come out of retirement, is having a negative impact on society, and that while he may be driving down crime levels, which have reached an all-time high, he is only continuing the cycle of crime and that his actions will only spawn more criminals (essentially). In this introduction, he is hyper-critical of the media, which I think is something we all should be doing. So in the introduction of this bind-up, Miller talks a lot about what I would call the inspiration for both titles in this book. I didn't even look at the Dark Knight Strikes Back, and aside from a quick flip-through of the last two parts of TDKR, I didn't read the rest of it either. Also, I only read the first two "books" or issues in this, which would be the first two issues of The Dark Knight Returns. So, by saying this, I want to bring to the attention of anybody reading this review that I may well be biased or ignorant in the areas of which I touch on. I also am a very leftist person, which I think we all know Frank Miller is not. I did not grow up in the 80's, hell, I was barely alive for the 90's and don't remember most of the 2000's, so I don't have any personal experience with the time period in which this was written and influenced by.
I want to start this review by saying the following.
