I’m a huge fan of both Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns, and it’s amazing to realize The Dark Knight Returns is celebrating its 40th anniversary! It first hit shelves on February 16, 1986, and I think it’s the perfect time to revisit that incredible graphic novel. And if you’re going to celebrate, why not also watch Batman v Superman? It really feels like a long, loving tribute to Miller and Varley’s work – especially if you go for the Ultimate Edition, which is the way to experience it, in my opinion!
