I'm going to be very blatantly honest here. I think the Dark Knight Returns has a very good story to it, I like the portrayal of Batman and how he feels the need to return to crime. What I don't like is the fact the Media is paid too much attention to, and I REALLY hate Batman's character design. I'm sorry, but in my play of Arkham City, it really hit the nail on the coffin as to what really bugs me. Batman just looks fat. I can't put it any other way, he looks like a muscular fat guy. Hell, the bat symbol's bat looks like it put on too much weight...

What I'm trying to get at here is that I know the Dark Knight Returns has a lot of fans, but just...I don't like Batman's design in it, and Rocksteady bringing that design into "realistic proportions" makes me fully aware as to why. But with all that said, I do like the game's interpretations of the characters. They all work in my opinion, I especially love Robin and Nightwing though.

WAT.

I really didn't understood what I just read, The Dark Knight Returns is a graphic novel.
You're talking about the game Arkham City...

WAT.

I don't get it. Do you have the Dark Knight Returns skin on Arkham City and using that has made you realise you don't like Batman in DKR? I don't want to sound rude I just don't get what the thread is about :S

for how old the novel is what did you expect going in. not to say its ugly or anything but comics and graphic novels all had a specific look back then. and yea as most of the people have pointed out he is out of shape its been around 10+ years since he hit a gym

I must admit, a bulky overly-muscular Batman doesn't rank particularly high in my list of favourite visual portrayals of the character. I much prefer the more slender shape that we got whilst Dick Grayson was under the cowl.

Well, unless Chris Burnham is the artist. He draws a great Bruce Wayne Batman.
