Why did nobody tell me of this? "Batman: the Dark Knight Strikes Again"
I had no idea that Frank Miller revisited the "Dark Knight" mythos. But today I discovered, seven years after the fact, "Batman: the Dark Knight Strikes Again", by Frank Miller and his wife, Lynn Varley.
Apparently reviewers were upset that it wasn't exactly the same as the dark, gritty original "Batman: the Dark Knight Returns". I think I'll read it and see how it is for myself..
After Luisa and I dropped Michael off at rez at UofT, we took a leisurely drive along the Danforth. We had lunch at Astoria, and then went to the Carrot Commons. Or, rather, Luisa did, but everything seemed closed for Labour Day.
I noticed what *I* thought was a "new" Mac store across the street and took a snap with my iPhone - RiverdaleMac
I posted it to Facebook, where I was informed it is, in fact, a very old store, that used to be called "The CD Shop" (gee, wonder why they changed their name? :-D).
I trundled over to the book store just east of the 'Carrot whose name escapes me.
And they had a graphic novels section.
And there I saw the tome above.
And bought it. :-)
Luisa found me a copy of the latest Cinefex, which I'll probably also read on the GO train.
All in all, a nice day. Great weather, too.
