Caped Crusader, Dark Knight, Batman the World's greatest Detective.....

Caped Crusader, Dark Knight, Batman the World's greatest Detective.....

 

Dark Knight. Caped Crusader. World’s Greatest Detective. Whatever you know him as, wherever you know him from—the blockbuster movies, TV shows, video games, cartoons, or millions of comics—Batman is proof you don’t need superpowers to be a superhero… and the poster boy for what a bad childhood can do to you.

 

Millionaire Bruce Wayne was just a kid when he watched his parents get gunned down during a mugging in Gotham City. The crime would define his life, as he dedicated himself to becoming the world’s greatest weapon against crime—the Batman.
Forget his Batarangs, Batmobile, or Utility Belt filled with high-tech weapons. Batman is the most feared superhero of all, because he’s pushed himself to the absolute pinnacle of human achievement. He’s a brilliant detective who’s mastered fighting techniques the world’s barely heard of.
An Olympic-caliber athlete with a plan for every occasion, Batman’s seemingly always five steps ahead of his foes. But in his crusade against injustice, two questions always loom: How far will he go to protect the innocent, and will he sacrifice his humanity along the way?

The Dark Knight Returns Used As Major Plot Point In Girl Meets World Episode On Disney Channel !!!

 

 

In July, The Disney Channel series Girl Meets World aired an episode about the use of Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel in a high school classroom.

As io9 reports, the episode is titled “Girl Meets the New Teacher.” Said new teacher is Harper Burgess, who uses Miller’s 1986 Batman story as part of her lesson plan, right alongside Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. The dark and violent graphic novel is challenged by the school’s principle, in a showdown apparently meant to mirror the confrontation between Batman and Superman in TKDR.

The episode is likely meant as a follow-up to the “Back 2 School” episode of predecessor Boy Meets World, the plot of which had a new teacher using X-Men comics as part of his lesson plan. Still, it’s a little odd to see a Disney Channel show using a DC Comics classic, especially one that is the basis for Batman v. Superman, as a major plot point when Marvel’s Civil War probably could have been used to the same effect.

SDCC: Kubert & Janson Join "The Dark Knight III: The Master Race" !!!!

 DC Comics has announced new details for "The Dark Knight III: The Master Race," including the artists joining co-writers Frank Miller and Brian Azzarello: Andy Kubert and Klaus Janson. DC additionally confirmed that Miller will illustrate portions of the interior artwork, along with covers.

Janson brings another direct connection to the original "The Dark Knight Returns," as he inked Miller's art in that seminal 1986 miniseires. Kubert has illustrated multiple high-profile DC stories in recent years -- many in the Bat-corner of the DC Universe -- including "Damian: Son of the Batman" (which he also wrote), "Flashpoint," "Batman: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?" and "Batman and Son."

"There's a design aspect and a look that he brings to the material that will be essential to the storytelling," DC Co-Publisher Dan DiDio told CBR News of what made Kubert the right pick for the series. "It's not that Andy will be imitating Frank's work, he's really bringing his own style, but he'll be working very closely with Frank on the storytelling."

All eight issues of the 32-page "Master Race" miniseries will also include an additional 16-page "Dark Knight Universe" minicomic attached to the center, written and illustrated by guest creators and telling stories of the broader Dark Knight Universe.

"So many of the character that Frank has introduced during the course of 'The Dark Knight Returns' and 'Dark Knight Strikes Again' will be brought back to the storytelling, and they'll be integral to the main story, and go off on separate adventures," DiDio said of the "Dark Knight Universe" stories.

"The Dark Knight III: The Master Race" is scheduled to debut in Fall 2015, but a release month has not yet been attached. The series follows the original series -- one of the industry's most acclaimed superhero stories -- and 2001 sequel "The Dark Knight Strikes Again," both written and illustrated by Miller.
