Best "comic" I have ever read
It's amazing how well this story, originally written as a 4-part mini-series in 1986, has held up. This story is responsible for the re-emergence of Batman not just as a superhero, but as a tortured anti-hero with flaws that make him no less obsessed than the supervillains he hunts. Not only do we get heaping servings of the dark, obsessed Batman, we also meet an him as an older man, a true "lion in winter" who must come to grips with his mortality and the unstoppable decline of age. Miller allows us to use our hero to percieve the world around us, and in doing so The Dark Knight Returns also ends up as a critique of 20th century society (and 21st, for that matter). Batman is just a few public opinion points away from being considered no different than the likes of Two-Face and the Joker. The relationships between Batman and those he hunts is simply outstanding work by Frank Miller. Generally, there are three types of villains. The first are everyday...
A Western: A Fistful of Gotham
In a phrase, The Dark Knight returns is simply a "western." The old hero comes out of retirement to save his town one last time. On his way, he meets an assortment of old acquaintances, both friend and foe. At the end, there's a nice sunset for him to ride off into. Or is there? Frank Miller's book is more of a character study of a retired vigilante who just can't take it anymore. Think "Unforgiven" with tights and thermite. Like Arkham Asylum, this is a story of a man and his obsession. Miller's text puts us into that moment, and also reveals his doubts about his chosen calling. Batman here is a man divided, the reluctant hero, and he behaves as such. THIS Batman even realizes that his personal moral code may be suspect. (But never for long.) And the fact that he seems to be instrumental in bringing the Joker out of a catatonic state is telling. Do we beget our own demons? The story questions this repeatedly, and leaves it to us. Fleshed out not only with...
Miller's Masterpiece
One of the problems with writing about a genre classic nearly fifteen years after its original release is that so many will have tried to surpass it since then (mostly unsuccessfully). Such is the case with Miller's Dark Knight Returns. In the wake of superior product like Alan Moore's The Killing Joke and From Hell, inferior product like McFarlane's insipid Spawn series, and middling product like Miller's own Sin City limiteds, it's hard to understand what a splash was made by The Dark Knight Returns on its original release. Even in light of Miller's work on classics like Ronin, Elektra: Assassin, and the great Wolverine limited series, Dark Knight was something special, something so dark and twisted and mature, it all but demanded that the rest of the genre mature toward its standard, and almost literally forced establishment critics to take the genre seriously at last. No small feat, especially when considering the character Miller chose to work with -- after all, Batman to most...

Final product may differ from image shown
I had high expectations for this statue but I was disappointed when seeing the final product. The face on the statue does not resemble the one seen in the promotional image. The face is elongated, and the paint was poorly done on the face. If you look on the DC Direct website (http://www.dccomics.com/dcdirect/?dcd=9619&lst=new&cat=STATUES), it reads, "Final product may differ from image shown", and they were exactly right. If you are able to touch up the paint on the face yourself then feel free to try but I just thought I would give everyone a heads up on this product.
Nice Collectible
I got my Joker statue the other day, and I must say I'm pretty pleased with it. Overall the quality is decent, the base is sturdy and paint job is well done. Except for the eyes. It's always hard to tell how the face looks in pictures so small, but the right eye on my statue is a little off centered, making him look cross-eyed. You can only tell if you hold it up close, but it's still a little frustrating to have that small problem on an item that costs so much. Overall though I am pleased with my purchase. And it looks good on the book case. It also creeps out the wife, which is always good...
crossed eyed joker
nice figure but I agree with the other reviewer he looks crossed eyed. for my money the bobble head joker has the best face job go figure

Small Knights for big battles
These rubbery plastic knights are somewhat on the small side, standing about 2" tall. They go very well with the Safari brand Knights and Dragon Toob, being about the same size. Unlike the larger and more expensive toy Knights, these toy soldiers are easier to use in make belive battles. The only problem with them is the usual warped limbs and weapons which can be fixed by dunking them in very hot water to straighten them out. It would have been nice to have a few of these Knights on horseback. But considering that they appear to be men-at-arms, they can be used as Medieval infantry along with whatever mounted Knights you might already own.
Awesome Knights!!!
As a collector of plastic army figures I was expecting this bag of knights to be the generic, warped, cloned, knock off knights. This was not the case! I bought this with the Bronze and Grey Knights (Those were OKAY) These were excellent. The knights are beautifully detailed go excellent with MARX or AIRFIX which is a shocjer for these type of knights should have bouth two oh well...Most def buy them they are incredible
Very detailed and nice looking
These are a nice looking set of knights. They are beautifully painted and very detailed. The kids love to play with them.

This will all change for one animal in the near future, as we've found the makings of the English Countryside Pig Pen, which will be built in three stages, likely with Bricks, Wooden Boards, and Nails. There are other new buildings coming to the game, like the Spring Watermill, Castle Tower, and Knight Shop seen above, but these items are just decorations, rather than anything functional.

What was Two faces (Harvey Dent's) coin in "The Dark Knight"?

In the movie "the dark Knight" or in any movie he has the same looking coin. (statue of liberty head i believe unless its a pure batman reference I'm

iceclimbers1 answers: Lol first off, standing liberty quarters aren't "incredibly rare" really. The coin in the movie was known as a Peace dollar, first minted in 1921, and is a "silver dollar" as you stated. In fact, it contains nearly 3/4 troy oz of silver.

I think it was a customed version to symbolize two faces.
