Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. I am not a fan of comics in general; I did not grow up reading comic books or graphic novels. I usually find the storytelling confusing and the artwork hokey.

But Jeremy and I have been reading some of the ones we probably should have read in high school or college lately, and so far this is by far my favorite. I’m surprised, because I have not seen a Batman movie since they stopped starring Michael Keaton, and I mostly do not care about super heroes, and I’m fairly immune to the romanticizing of vigilantes in any kind of contemporary setting.

But I loved this. I want to read more. (I’m also reading Watchmen, and not liking it as much.)
