Batman Caballero Oscuro III: La raza superior
by Klaus Janson, Eduardo Risso, Brian Azzarello, Andy Kubert, Frank Miller, John Romita Jr.
I'll be honest. I thought this was gonna be pure shit. I don't like The Dark Knight Returns and Frank Miller is a hit or miss. Especially his Batman now days hasn't been to my liking (All Star Batman was just...wow) However I took a gamble and read this bad boy. You know whaT? Not half bad.
The story starts off with Batman being dead. Well not really but you know that. Then Atom unleashes a army of Kryptians and with the help of Superman/Wonder Woman's daughter they begin to release hell on earth. Batman steps up and is like "Nah bro, not this time" and unfreezes a frozen Superman. Then the war for the master Race Begins!
What I liked: The pacing up until issue 6 was great. I also thought the ending was really strong. To watch Batman and Superman (And others) team up was great. I actually ENJOYED Bruce's monologue in this. The fights were both brutal and powerful and entertaining throughout.
What I didn't like: The art sometimes was good, sometimes awful. Also the issue 7-8 were kind of mehs in comparison to the rest. I also thought Green lantern subplot was...weird? And just not all that interesting.
Overall this was a welcomed surprise. Fun, entertaining, little messy in execution but easily Frank's best work in years. Funny enough I like it more than Returns. Yeah fight me. FUCK YOU! No but really, this was solid shit. A 3 out of 5.
