Miller AND Azzarello?!?! Holy hell, it's like a "Worst Batman Writers Ever Cross Over Suck-Fest"!!! Oh my God, they're perfect for each other.

I'm a colossal asshole, though, because I'll almost certainly buy this despite having nothing but contempt for DK2, along with all signs pointing to this one also being just the worst kind of thing. I'm addicted to seeing things crash and burn spectacularly, and Miller's Batman has never failed to do that, at least, so yeah, I'm an asshole and a hypocrite.

But not as big an asshole as Frank Miller for being so sh*tty at Batman except for like one and a quarter times when he wasn't.

I totally agree! And think the answer is to let Frank Miller vent all of his violent fantasies with the Fixer character again instead of Batman.

He should only play in his own sandbox and with his own toys (still he will be beyond awful at writing female characters) but it would pass as another tasteless parody and not as an official product from DC comics.

I don't think they will even profit from this as they expect. Many people including me were repulsed by DK2 (that I couldn't even finish reading) I so refuse to spend any money or time on this.

Didn't DC learned anything from the Before watchmen series?

I think I'll go and live in the farm of Casey's grandmother to learn to fight blindfolded, instead of read or watch so many bad and unnecessary stories that greedy companies are trying to force feed me... The humanity!

Cripes, this again?
Linkara of Atop the Fourth Wall is going to have a mental breakdown at this. I mean, the first one was ..okay, but the second one is after Frank went off into crazytown.

I think I'll buy Disney's "The Duck Knight Returns" instead.

DC has released some interior art work for DKIII:

Not particularly thrilled. Wonder Woman being here does nothing for me.

New details. Along with DK3, we will be getting a prequel to The Dark Knight Returns titled "The Last Crusade". It features a slightly younger, middle age Batman, and will tell how Jason Todd died in the Earth-31 universe.

huh, I'd imagine Jason died like he did in the mainstream comics... Not sure if a prequel story to DKR universe that isn't Year One is all that necessary.

It's like making a comic explaining why Batman in Batman Year 100 can be young and alive in the future, unnecessary and will never live up to any "hype".

Fun fact, DKR was written long before the mainstream Jason died.

A comic that was published in 85, predates a event from 88?


No way


But seriously, it's a unnecessary comic... But so was Before Watchmen, and DK2... And probably this comic as well.

Probably it's the Cinematic Universe Machine paying him to supply ideas.

There's a terrifying thought...

Oh boy. Frank Miller wants to do an all-ages Carrie Kelly spinoff: http://comicbook.com/2015/11/17/fran...ie-kelley-all/

All Star Batman was hilarious. It was so ridiculous and over the top I couldn't help but laugh while reading through the thing. The Dark Knight Returns is great, and so are some of his Sin City things. Daredevil is neat too.
Then I read some of the Dark Knight Returns 2 and it is a mess, just toaly garbage. At least All Star is nice to look at and somewhat of a parody of itself. DKR2 did nothing. Now they're doing 3 and 4. WHY? Oh well, people will buy it anyway cuz Frank Miller is still considered a genius by some people.

[Andrew NDB]

DKR3 seems... highly questionable to me. Particularly the timing (the "Batman V Superman" movie apparently factors heavily into things all things Miller and TDKR). I mean, it's very obviously transparently the WB higher ups calling down to the comic people to make Miller do some kind of Dark Knight... something... and him begrudgingly being like, "Yeah, I'll consult and give notes to somebody who actually wants to write and draw it. I guess." And we get this. Just seems devoid of any kind of actual creative wellspring, same as "Before Watchmen." But DC is completely out of steam, at least with the current regime, left to pick the meat off of the bones of things that actually had substance decades ago.

Agreed. Anybody got Mike Carlin's home number?
