 * Dark Knight Returns: **
 * by Frank Miller **


 * Batman in the Dark Knight Returns talks about batman who is much older and is now retired from being a hero. When bruce wayne is batman he is ruthless and vicious as a crime fighter. The main character does the right thing when he decides to rally up all his followers to put out the fire the happens in the city. This scene is at the end and a very climatic scene as well. **


 * __Superman__ : Superman is retired as well. He is no longer a superhero, he now is working for the **
 * U.S government and now works as a mercenary/super soldier. __The Joker__ : the joker is also another main character because he is the main villain/protagonist of the book. The joker has been out of play for a while but finally comes back to crime when batman comes back. **


 * The time of the story is in the near future and the place is Gotham city. The setting of the story is exciting because the city is filled with crime and injustice. Bruce Wayne realizes this and can’t let all of this go undone any longer. Noticing that the city is a lot worse now he becomes the bat **
 * man. **


 * The timeline of the novel goes like this:(brief summary) **
 * 1. Bruce wayne sees all the crime/corruption that is going on in Gotham city and he knows that he must do something to stop all of it. **


 * 2. Bruce Wayne becomes the batman, realizing that he already crossed the line, he is now more ruthless and vicious than ever. While all this happens the joker is back into crime again. **


 * 3. The Batman and the joker fight while the joker is causing chaos in the carnival. In the fight joker gets paralyzed and kills himself with the last of his strength. Batman is dubbed a killer **


 * 4. Batman has many followers who he starts to rally up, almost as making his own army. **


 * 5. Batman and Superman fight in Gotham. Batman is able to get the upper hand in defeating superman thanks to kryptonite. Unfortunately batman suffers a heart attack **


 * 6. Batman faked his death and is able to escape from superman. While escaped all evidence of him was erased and he made a new team underground. **


 * For my opinion on the dark knight returns is that it was a very good novel. It showed how batman was when he was retired and how he was when he crossed the line. In the book he has completely crazy and you can see how sad it is to accept a very great hero lose all his ability and his youth. Besides the artwork the book was really great. **
