Just finished reading Batman: the dark knight returns. It’s got to be one of the best comics I’ve read. Right up there with Watchmen and Kingdom Come. Well, almost up there with Kingdom Come. That one’s hard to beat. Anyway, I really love the way batman is portrayed as dark and gritty, with a violent take on justice. Are his methods an act of vengeance or justice? The comic is full of moral conundrums.

And that’s why I love batman. Have I ever mentioned he’s my favourite comic book hero? He’s the only one without superpowers. He’s the only human in the justice league. And he’s the smartest one too. That’s because he’s the world’s greatest detective. He’s not invulverable. He gets hurt, he gets beaten up. But he stands back up again. Despite being a bad ass, he shows more emotion than all the other superheroes put together. For me, he’s a much more endearing character than, say, superman because a hero with flaws is much more intriguing.

The fight with joker is one to be remembered. The guy’s a fucking psycho!
