>tfw Frank Millers edginess is of a time and place and is transcendent in that context and comical in the one it helped to spawn

So on top of taking a nuke to the face, he gets struck by lighting. Starting to think Frank is trying to say something here.

Wonder what Ollie did that forced Clark to act. Bet it was just his vigilantism not sitting with well with the national government which is why they sent the boyscout.

>>87735256
I think he was going to kill the president or some classic Ollie move like that

This is a page that exemplifies all the strengths of the 4x4 grid. This layout would have been extremely more difficult with another framework.

One reason why I love this series so much isn't even the plot, it's the fact that each and every page is jam packed with content for the reader to look over. Probably one of the best bang for your buck comics of our time.

I kinda want to see this now. More than that, I want know as much as I can about the universe Miller created. It feels fundamentally different from all other Bat Universes (much in the same way Arkham stood apart from the mainline DC universe by establishing it's own unique own lore).

Probably one of the best lines from this entire work.

Excellent throwback to the first page of this series.

Whats batman even trying to prove here? Superman literally never fought back.

I could beat up any mma wrestler too as long as they dont fight back, its actually 2v1, and I can use weapons

Coming up is probably one of the more polarizing entries in Miller's catalog. You either love the art of hate it.

I'm not sure if this is a pleb opinion but I really prefer Carrie as Robin or Batman compared to Catgirl.

Also I find it hilarious she modified hers shoes to be voice controlled.

The atom bomb spooked him and he temporarily transitioned to skeleton.

>>87735693
Even worse, they used kryptonite. That's like going up against Muhammad Ali but poisoning beforehand so you get a fighing chance.

Someone once put it very well: Superman vs. Batman is like a bodybuilder versus a cripple. Whether the bodybuilder wins or loses, he still ends up looking like an asshole.

I think there are a few individuals like the look but they definitely not the norm. That or I'm just projecting really really badly.

And on an unrelated note, GOOD GOD DAMN is that Luthor? He looks like Mr. Hyde from the League of Extraordinary gentlemen. What the hell happened? Did he get tired of building robot suits so decided to fuck it and just turn himself into a brute?

Looks like Hal is capable of reverting back to human form, which in all honesty makes him seem kinda otherworldy. I wonder how powerful Miller intended Hal to be right now? It's written as Hal's body became a living battery of will, so is he on the same playing field as Ion or Parallax or even beyond that?
