Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again

Product Information

Flight: Superman is able to manipulate graviton particles to defy the forces of gravity and achieve flight. This ranges from hovering to moving in any posture, in any direction.

Son of Batman: Deathstroke | League of Assassins ( Ra's al Ghul& Talia al Ghul) | Ubu | Killer Croc | Man-Bats The Professor: Professor Aristotle Rodor, although he is noticeably bad at inventing things. A tranquillizer he sold to a drug company upon completion of his PhD put the company out of business with its Thalidomide-like side-effects and his invention Pseudo-derm is entirely useless for its intended purpose as it becomes toxic when applied to open wounds. The only practical application it has is as Question's mask. Much like Miller would cite being mugged in New York as the inspiration for his paranoid, ruthless approach to Daredevil and Batman in the ‘80s, 9/11 would break Miller in the 21st century. The author’s Libertarianism, often on display in his individualist Batman, would morph into the hard right wing Islamaphobic viewpoint of “Holy Terror,” originally planned to be a Batman comic but disavowed by DC in 2006. So “Strikes Again” sees Miller in the midst of a personal political crisis, one that’s pushed through a psychedelic lens of conspiracy, superheroism, and justice, all embodied in a gleefully violent Batman. DKR was originally published as a four-issue limited series in a then-new printing format called prestige format. This format later became more common. In addition to Frank Miller's story and pencils, Klaus Janson inks, and Lynn Varley provides colors for the series. Just as the characters of Norse mythology have their Ragnarok, Frank Miller sought to create a fitting end for the character of Batman.https://www.comicsbeat.com/the-lives-and-death-of-jason-todd-an-oral-history-of-the-second-robin-and-a-death-in-the-family/ Palette Swap: Rare non videogame example. Both versions are able to slip into their disguise at a moment's notice by simply activating the gas, which changes the color of their clothing and hair, as well as bonding the mask to their face. Batman's training of the boy consists of physical abuse as well as keeping him entrapped in the Batcave while forcing him to forage for his own food (which leads to a brief confrontation when Batman threatens Alfred for giving the boy food). Over time, Grayson becomes obsessed with finding his parents' killer and starts to become all the more aggressive as Robin. In one of the comic's most notorious incidents, Batman and Robin lure in Green Lantern and provoke him into a fight in a completely yellow room when Robin steals his ring. Robin comes close to murdering Green Lantern before he is oddly stopped by Batman.

Batman: Bruce Wayne faked his death three years ago to operate underground as Batman. He leads the rebellion against the corrupt regime headed by Lex Luthor which now rules America. He is still a master strategist, albeit a controversial one who makes decisions which result in the loss of lives, but which he sees as necessary for the ultimate defeat of his enemies. Power Dynamics Kink: Implied if not outright stated to be the case of Superman and Wonder Woman's relationship. Her response to Superman feeling down about Batman beating him (again) is to punch him in the face and say, "Where is the man who threw me to the ground and made me his prize?".Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice: Lex Luthor | Anatoli Knyazev | Doomsday | Mercy Graves | Cesar Santos | Amajagh | Joe Chill | Zod | Joker | Steppenwolf Author Avatar: It's pretty clear that this version of Batman is how Miller sees himself if he were Batman. Not to be confused with Scott Snyder's 2016 series All-Star Batman , which Snyder heavily emphasizes has nothing to do with this. Thou Shalt Not Kill: Zig-zagged at times, and mostly averted for both Questions despite their disgust of murderous criminals. Vic was originally highly against killing, often feeling very conflicted on how far to go in enforcing justice due to his own repeated temptation to kill criminals. His mentor Professor Rodor kept him from crossing that line, until he ended up killing to save the daughter of his love interest. At some point it got easier, as Vic kills again in the 1991 Brave and the Bold mini-series and the 2005 Question mini-series, but was implied to have a change of heart when he strongly advocates against murder in Huntress' Cry For Blood mini-series. Montoya is agonized over the issue of killing criminals, even refusing to kill the murderer of her partner in the GCPD, but ends up killing a child suicide bomber later on and has a Despair Event Horizon after the fact. Captain Marvel: an old man now with wispy white hair (similar to that of Uncle Marvel), he still stands by his equally powerful peers Superman and Wonder Woman. Like many of the other heroes he is limited in what he can do because Luthor holds his beloved sister Mary hostage.

Kryptonian Physiology: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Superman possesses the same potential weaknesses as an average Kryptonian. These include: In Miller's Dark Knight Universe the connection between Wayne and Grayson is changed from the "usual image of Batman and Robin as an idealized father-son relationship...unless you are the late Dr. Fredric Wertham" (who considered the relationship a homosexual one) "into an Oedipal nightmare".In response to “Holy Terror,” Grant Morrison would later say, “Cheering on a fictional character as he beats up fictionalized terrorists seems like a decadent indulgence when real terrorists are killing real people in the real world. I’d be so much more impressed if Frank Miller gave up all this graphic novel nonsense, joined the Army and, with a howl of undying hate, rushed headlong onto the front lines with the young soldiers who are actually risking life and limb ‘vs.’ Al Qaeda.” Superman would eventually encounter other superhumans or beings of the like, such as Princess Diana of Themyscira, who came to be known as Wonder Woman. They developed a mutual attraction towards each other. [2]
