Episode 8
THE DARK KNIGHT STRIKES AGAIN (Plus! DK III: The Master Race)
Host Anthony Desiato and guest Mike Sangregorio shine a light on Frank Miller's controversial (and misunderstood?) sequel to DKR, the 2001-2002 miniseries THE DARK KNIGHT STRIKES AGAIN.
They consider Miller's frenetic, experimental approach, the impact of 9/11, Batman's minimal presence, the treatment of Silver Age Justice League characters, and more.
PLUS! Anthony and guest Perry Constantine (Superhero Cinephiles) revisit the later sequel DK III: THE MASTER RACE (by Miller, Brian Azzarello, & Andy Kubert), along with THE LAST CRUSADE (by Miller, Azzarello, & John Romita Jr.) and THE GOLDEN CHILD (by Miller & Rafael Grampá).
Happy Batman Day!
