I have this one as well. Since TDKR is only 4 issues, I would love to have seen a version like Absolute Batman: Year One, where you have two different printings of the story. A pencils or b/w version of the story would have been a great addition or even for TDKSA in b/w..

The extras aren't enough to sway me to grab this. I really enjoy the DKR HC box set that I got last year and for the DK2 books, I like the line-art only Noir edition, those colors deterred me from purchasing those way back on it's initial release.

I bought this because I never read the follow-up to DKR. Now, I bought the original issues of DKR at my comic shop back in 84. None of us have ever seen anything quite like this before, it was a profound and trend setting comic story and art style. Now, knowing how much I loved and respected the original story, the follow-up sequel absolutely sucks. Horrible story only over shadowed by the worst artwork for a batman story that I ever personally witnessed with my own 2 eyes. I do own the absolute DK3 master race, and I enjoyed that story not as much as the original, but it blows away the 2nd story, hands down and this comes from a 54 year old comic fan.
@davidosborn67146 ай бұрын
At this point I'm beginning to wonder if DC's dogged insistence on including DKSA with DKR in absolute format is actually something Miller had sneakily managed to obtain in a contract prepared by a DC lawyer who has since been let go.

I absolutely (no pun intended) agree. It would be so much better to have an Absolute of only the DKR with maybe the extras put on full page (i still can't believe that in all the editions the original 4 covers have to share the same damn page)
@davidosborn67147 ай бұрын
Leaving aside the merits or lack thereof regarding DKSA, the slipcased 4 volume HC edition of DKR is currently the way to go for me. While I do miss the Absolute page size what seals the deal for me with the box set is the original 4 book breakdown with the iconic original covers, which is the way I originally experienced reading the story on its initial release (yes, I'm that old!). As others have noted, the 1-page reduced size cover depictions you get in the Absolute is a travesty.

@deadmousyplutaprestige87717 ай бұрын
I literally knew nothing about DKSA. In fact, I learned it only existed a year or so ago. So my opinion was not pre tainted negatively. This story is without joy, entertainment, or merit. It is trash from the nonsense baby babble word bubbles to the horrid art, and I use that term loosely because if this is art, I have painted my toilet bowl better.
@lukewarwick93507 ай бұрын
I still don't understand why DC haven't made a Batman by Frank Miller omnibus. These 2, DK 3, Year one & all star batman & robin would make it the right size for an omni. I know only 2 of the stories are good but still. It would sell a stupid amount. I know DC make money sell all of those stories separately, but that's the case with all bat books.
