Description
As his peers grow older Frank Miller just gets younger. DK2 is drawn with the energy and confidence of a teenager who knows in his heart that he's BETTER than Frank Miller and he's ready to take the world by storm. This book is a startling befuddling accomplishment. I love it.: - James Kochalka His brutal yet elegant noir renderings pulpy yet eloquent scripting and thoroughly uncompromising attitude make him one of the most distinctive voices in comic. - Entertainment Weekly 'IT Comics Book Project' Miller has pulled off a triumphant return to Gotham - Sure footed chilling prescient witty and sometimes laugh out loud funny. - USA Today I'm glad my fellow Vermoner is finally our of the Batcave. Now when the heck is he going to get the third issue' - Senator Patrick Leahy DK2 is a great book. Miller has done for comics what the Ramones did for music. This book looks like it was done by a guy with a pen and his girlfriend with an iMac. - Tony Millionaire Overview It was originally published as a three-issue limited series (November 2001 - July 2002) by DC Comics and has since been collected into hardcover and paperback one-volume editions. Like its predecessor this story takes place in a timeline that is not considered canonical in the current continuity of DC Comics. The story also doesn't seem to follow any of DC's continuity after Crisis on Infinite Earths as Barry Allen (the Silver Age Flash who died in Crisis) is still alive. DK2 was considered controversial upon its release by some comics fans as it was considered to be a repudiation of effects that the original Dark Knight Returns had on American superhero comics (the creation of the so-called 'grim n' gritty' movement) and a celebration of the surrealist and high-energy eccentricity of the superhero tradition. Colorist Lynn Varley used DK2 as a platform to experiment with computerized coloring partially influenced by the art deco movement and generally used a much bolder palette than in the darker Dark Knight Returns a departure that was seriously criticised as well. Political Themes The graphic novel contains caricatures of several prominent members of the first administration of President George W. Bush including John Ashcroft Ari Fleischer and Donald Rumsfeld. The president is revealed to actually be a hologram controlled by Lex Luthor a satirical commentary on the controlled media image of modern politicians as well as the common perception that Bush is somehow subservient to either Vice-President Dick Cheney or to the 'corporate elites'. The novel mocks American liberals who are depicted as ineffectual whiners and conservatives who are shown to be greedy and self serving. The general public is ignorant and childish.
