In this episode, the Special Topics in Media RETRO REWIND Season 2 focus on Batman: The Dark Knight Returns winds down. We close our our literary focus and cultural analysis of Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns with careful consideration of its text, context, author, and audience. Specifically, the dialogic duo explore facets of Miller's narrative form and how these literary decisions speak to fictional themes and real-world critiques. Is DKR capable of delivering a satisfying conclusion, or like so many popular fantasies, does this cultural artifact fail to "stick the landing"?
