It pounded home the concept of holding oneself to an objective standard (of good) while remaining open to different tactics to achieving the strategic goal. (No spoilers here - go get a copy and read it.) It also shows the adjustments a true warrior (how I hate hearing that word as abused as it has become lately) makes when he is outclassed in some way, by finding another way to attack.<br /><br />In other words, old age (experience) and treachery will usually defeat youth and enthusiasm. Feeling all-powerful, as is so common in young people, is both an advantage and disadvantage. (The examples of each are left as an exercise to the reader.)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015544320906146949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-450512621292258242013-02-22T14:24:02.502-05:002013-02-22T14:24:02.502-05:00Batman wins, because he's got a chunk of Green...Batman wins, because he's got a chunk of Green Kryptonite stashed away.

Lost track of how many times I've read it.<br /><br />THAT is Batman.<br /><br />Not the campy Adam West. Not the slightly-less-campy Mr. Batmom as played by Michael Keaton under Tim Burton.<br /><br />The newest revision is closer to the true Batman, but focuses too much on the kung fu fighting.<br /><br />Miller's Batman is just about perfect.Jay Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11085873775096542015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-69324685949141323992013-02-21T16:00:33.741-05:002013-02-21T16:00:33.741-05:00To this day, my favorite graphic novel of all time...To this day, my favorite graphic novel of all time. Miller's genius in the reinvention of the Joker alone will nothing short of terrifyingly brilliant, especially when compared to the "goofy" Joker of decades past.

I bought that Series at 40% OFF Cover Price (Employee Discount). And I KNOW how the Supes vs Wayne Fight ended. Too Bad the ExGF decided to throw all my stuff away a few years later....Bubblehead Les.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00730873284089958084noreply@blogger.com
