Review on Batman Dark Knight Returns Action Figure

This is also one of the posts due since last year (2016). 

So yah, I got a Batman action figure, the one from Dark Knights Return (by Frank Millar). My dad got this for me at Speedy (the CD shop), Empire. Originally, they sell this for RM 42.90. For reasons unknown, at that particular time I got it, it was only RM 10.00!!! Muahahahaha!!! 

• It comes in this plastic bag.

• One Batman action figure and one Batarang.

 

• The Batarang comes in a small plastic bag.

• Closer details at the Batarang.

• This is how the Batman holds the Batarang.

• The Batman action figure (Front view). 

• The Batman action figure (Right view). 

• The Batman action figure (Back view). 

• The Batman action figure (Left view). 

• Underneath the cape. 

• I’m not sure whether this Batman action figure is ‘ori’, as in from the original DC Comics©. Based on the printing on the right foot, it is. “Made in China” is printed on the left leg. 

The leg joints aren’t strong for this over-size Batman, particularly at its kneecap. They are very loose making the action figure always at a ‘bent’ position. So… yah, I’m fine with this action figure as it is still in VERY GOOD quality. 

• Some poses. 

• The following are some size comparisons and poses with my other action figures and a Lego (Decool :p) Giant-Man giantfigure:

There, done with another long overdue post. 

God Bless.

The Return of the Batman (Dark Knight Returns)

Frank Miller (writer and penciller), Klaus Janson (inker),80's, old farts fighting one another in The Dark Knight Returns, what could possibly go wrong??? You have Batman (old, fat, grumpy) fighting Harvey Dent/Two-face (not so old), Joker (fit, still scary, insane), the Mutants (not the X-men) and the political side, Superman (old, annoying, dumb). In just 4 issues, you can have mind-blowing stuff coming at you. Bruce Wayne is 55 years old and has retired being Batman as the crime levels increasing. Commissioner Gorden is retiring on his birthday and the post was given to Captain Ellen Yindel, a critic of Batman and enemy of crime. 

Wayne is watching the TV news while recalling the night his parents died. He, finding his retirement difficult, became the Batman. Word of advice, read the book. Batman goes to town controlling the crime including saving Carrie Kelley, a 13 year old student. Carrie, amazed by Batman, buys herself a Robin costume and searches the Batman, seeking to help him. That's all I can talk about, like I said: read the book. Last but not least, the funniest and cutest art in The Dark Knight Returns.
