Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again

Product Information

At the funeral, Superman hears a heart beat inside the coffin and, after looking at Carrie, winks at her and leaves. Carrie later digs up Bruce's body and it is revealed that he faked his death with the pill. Bruce Wayne now begins a new life, leading Robin, Green Arrow, and his new army through unexplored tunnels beyond the Batcave, preparing for a new war against the corrupt government. Batman as traitor to America is the very best Batman story that could be told and the plot is complicated and orchestrated by Batman, the new Batgirl (formerly Robin in the last book), former gang members turned mini-bats, and several aging superheroe--Capt. Marvel, Plastic Man, Green Arrow, Atom, and Green Lantern. Miller extrapolates our media-obssessed popular culture and turns it more garish and ugly than it currently is.

They look like something the Justice League threw up on the carpet ! Where’s Batman ? And what are these naked women still doing here ? Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop: Hub City is a Wretched Hive unmatched in the DC Universe, and that includes the ever-hated Gotham City. The FBI yearly analysis lists Hub City's police department as the most corrupt department in the country, and even the honest cops currently trying to improve the department have bad history; the current straight-arrow chief only became a crusader for integrity because of what he encountered when he was out shaking down local criminals and businesses for the bribes they owed him. 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] Lander, Randy (December 3, 2001). "Dark Knight Strikes Again #1 (Best of the Week!)". The Fourth Rail.

Life Will Kill You: Vic Sage was a heavy smoker and, even though he ditches the habit early in O'Neil's run, when he appears in 52 he has developed advanced lung cancer. There is no miracle cure, there is no alien healing technology, he just slowly wastes away physically and mentally before dying in the snow outside Nanda Parbat. Green Arrow, aka Oliver Queen. He has undertaken a clandestine career of terrorism against government oppression. He lost his left arm years ago and has a grudge against Superman because of that. Lex Luthor ? That blob shaped thing is Lex Luthor ? And what’s that frog doing in the frame ? What ? That’s Brainiac… ROFL ! Stop ! Stop ! I can’t laugh anymore ! Oh wowie here are more naked women !

Religion of Evil: Montoya's main bad guys generally come from the Religion of Crime (which they prefer to call the Dark Faith or the Way of Sin), who have an obsession with an old girlfriend and who Sage had been following for months before they met. Villain Decay: Brainiac and Lex Luthor aren't nearly as smart in TDKSA as they are in other stories. In fact, some of the decisions they make are downright moronic. Name of Cain: The second Batwoman, Katherine "Kate" Kane, was introduced in the Renee Montoya/Question storyline of 52, and it took several weeks for anybody (Even Renee) to make even the slightest connection between Kane and Cain.It’s not to say that comic book Vic Sage doesn’t dwell into conspiracy theories. He is a detective after all. But it wouldn’t be until the New 52 and Detective Comics #1000 where the status of Sage being a conspiracy theorist was made canon in the comics.
