Dark Knight III: the Master Race | Frank Miller, Brian Azzarello
6 posts | 7 read
One of the most highly anticipated sequels of all-time is finally here in DARK KNIGHT III: THE MASTER RACE! In 1986, Frank Miller introduced his iconic take on Batman and changed the face of comics forever. Now, three decades after BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, Miller himself has returned with a third chapter to his groundbreaking saga. DARK KNIGHT III: THE MASTER RACE continues Frank Miller's landmark DARK KNIGHT SAGA that began with 1986's THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS and continued with its 2001-2002 sequel THE DARK KNIGHT STRIKES AGAIN. Co-written by Brian Azzarello and drawn by Andy Kubert and Klaus Janson, DARK KNIGHT III: THE MASTER RACE returns to a world gone awry left in the aftermath of the toppling of Lex Luthor and the apparent death... of Batman himself? Then who will save Gotham City and the rest of the planet against the mysterious Master Race? Also collected in this graphic novel are the nine mini-comics that originally appeared in the monthly periodical release of DARK KNIGHT III: THE MASTER RACE, each of which focuses on a different character from within the world of Miller's Dark Knight. The minicomics are also written by Miller and Azzarello and will be drawn by some of the greatest artists currently working in comics, including Miller himself, Eduardo Risso and John Romita, Jr.! Collected here are all nine chapters of DARK KNIGHT III: THE MASTER RACE as well as the nine mini-comics.

I like old Batman. I love my characters jaded, damaged but driven, and that is Batman. This was a good Miller; I‘d say on par with Year One and Dark Knight Rises. Although at times, the story seemed disjointed and random (unsure what the ‘gangster‘ texts were for) it was still a solid story.

I loved, for once, that different artists were used throughout. I love Miller‘s harsh style but it can be a bit much for an entire book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I picked this up at #fairfaxlibrarycon and was not so sure. Having the name Frank Miller on a graphic novel about Batman gives certain expectations. But this was a cool adventure. I liked it a lot. I don‘t follow all the dc character in their weeklys but it was still easy to follow and fun.

Blade Runner came back after 30-some years. Star Wars has a new lease of life. Couldn't The Dark Knight still work? Perhaps, but it doesn't. This has nothing of the original in it except an odd moment or two where Carrie shines. This is just a big dumb comic like a lot of other big dumb comics. The most damning thing I could say now about this project is that it's just nothing special.

I loved the story, the action, the end. I'm happy Frank Miller finally got around to finishing this series up, all good, a solid read. But I will confess, on Goodreads, I took of an entire star off for the bat symbol on Batgirl's butt and Lara' s perma-wedgie. In fact, the focus on women's butts in the third act was really distracting from the action. (Seriously, why does Batgirl need a bat symbol on her butt? This is really bothering me 😡)

Finally finished this beast (not long after Frank Miller *finally* finished it). I know his style has soured on critics but he tells (with the help of a co-writer) a good story here; and if you've read any of the Frank Miller Batman, I think this is worth your time. Beautiful artwork throughout doesn't hurt.
