Taucht ein in einen bahnbrechenden Moment der Comic-Geschichte! 1986 entfesselte Frank Miller The Dark Knight Returns und stellte die Superhelden-Welt komplett auf den Kopf. Stellt euch vor: Ein düsteres, dystopisches Gotham, wo ein älterer, kampferprobter Bruce Wayne ein letztes Mal den Umhang anlegt. Aber das ist nicht die Batman-Geschichte eures Vaters – es ist eine revolutionäre Erzählung, die Comics für immer veränderte und unsere heutigen Debatten über Selbstjustiz, Medienhype und den Preis der Macht gespenstisch vorwegnahm. Begleitet uns auf einer Reise in den Comic, der die gewagte Frage stellte: Was passiert, wenn der Dunkle Ritter in einer Welt alt wird, die immer finsterer wird?

Step into a groundbreaking moment in comic book history! In 1986, Frank Miller unleashed The Dark Knight Returns and turned the superhero world upside down. Picture this: a gritty, dystopian Gotham where an older, battle-worn Bruce Wayne straps on the cape one last time. But this isn't your father's Batman story – it's a revolutionary tale that changed comics forever and eerily predicted today's debates about vigilante justice, media frenzy, and the price of power. Join us as we dive deep into the graphic novel that dared to ask: what happens when the Dark Knight grows old in a world that's only getting darker?
