Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again

Product Information

Heroic Bastard: He does not make a big deal of it, but Sage is well aware that, since he was raised in an orphanage, it is extremely likely that he is a literal bastard. Lalumière, Claude (September 21, 2002). "The Dark Knight Strikes Again" . Retrieved August 30, 2012. Grand Finale: Renee's Convergence arc mostly serves as this, giving her a ( mostly) happy ending where she gets to kiss the girl and redeem Two Face.

Two-Face, aka now middle-aged Harvey Dent, whose face is reconstructed with plastic surgery, but is still Two-Face in his mind and cannot refrain from criminal acts. An alien monster lands in Metropolis and begins to destroy the city. Batman, however, is convinced that it is a way to lure him and his allies out of hiding and does not respond, callously dismissing Flash's claim that they are supposed to save lives. Batman's attitude is that the stakes are too high to worry about preserving life at all cost, whether this applies to men, women or even children.Microscopic Vision: This is the ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the atomic level.

And despite some changes in political idealogy and art in the decades since, The Dark Knight Strikes Again was the death of Frank Miller’s career. Immediate Self-Contradiction: Not exactly immediate, but in one issue, Batman calls Green Lantern a moron, then soon after says Green Lantern is a great man. He also laments revealing one of his safehouses to GL and dismisses it as no loss because he has so many, all in one thought balloon. Kryptonian Physiology: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Superman possesses the same potential weaknesses as an average Kryptonian. These include:

Which tropes do the Question include? That's a good question:

Written 15 years after the original, yet only set 3 yrs after the events of that book, this feels forced, reactionary, chaotic (in a bad way) and is ugly in every way. Miller himself takes over the art, and I want to apologize to the artist of the original, because that was 10 times better than his garbage here...it's not like Miller can't draw, so it makes it doubly disappointing. Superhuman Stamina: Superman is able to maintain continuous strenuous physical action for an indefinite period of time. This based on his body converting yellow solar radiation directly to energy, but is limited by physiological and psychological needs to eat, drink, and sleep. Super-Breath: Superman is able to create hurricane force winds by exhaling air from his lungs. He can chill the air as it leaves his lungs to freeze targets. He can also reverse the process to pull large volumes of air or vapor into his lungs.

Superman was abducted by the Monarch during one of his missions for the U.S. President. It was also observed that he was extremely anti-communist, actually talking down his Soviet counterpart from Earth-30. The conflicts between the Supermen are often peacefully defused by the more clearheaded Superman of Earth-16, Christopher Kent. [5] Driving Question: No pun intended, but the New 52 version is cursed to have this constantly as his part in the Trinity of Sin, with various questions he will never be able to answer. Batman: Year One: Batman | Gotham City Police Department ( Commissioner Loeb, Arnold John Flass& Howard Branden) | Falcone Crime Family ( Carmine Falcone& Johnny Viti) | Catwoman | Joker Thou Shalt Not Kill: Zig-zagged at times, and mostly averted for both Questions despite their disgust of murderous criminals. Vic was originally highly against killing, often feeling very conflicted on how far to go in enforcing justice due to his own repeated temptation to kill criminals. His mentor Professor Rodor kept him from crossing that line, until he ended up killing to save the daughter of his love interest. At some point it got easier, as Vic kills again in the 1991 Brave and the Bold mini-series and the 2005 Question mini-series, but was implied to have a change of heart when he strongly advocates against murder in Huntress' Cry For Blood mini-series. Montoya is agonized over the issue of killing criminals, even refusing to kill the murderer of her partner in the GCPD, but ends up killing a child suicide bomber later on and has a Despair Event Horizon after the fact.Alfred Pennyworth, Wayne's trusted butler and assistant, now in his 80's. He dies of a stroke at the end of the book.
