WARM UP - The Dark Knight Returns

Description

Happy Tuesday, folks!

Continuing with my inking frenzy this week (lots of projects to apply some black to! :D) here's today's warm-up, dedicated to a character befitting the blackest of blacks: The Dark Knight.

I must admit that Frank Miller is a bit of hit and miss with me; while I admire and enjoy all of his work and artwork, there are certain projects of his that didn't click with me 100%. That said, his seminal work on what later became the standard for Batman stories to come is amongst my favorite pieces of comic-book history. 
Bruce Wayne was up until that point a very superheroic character, with none of the dark connotations and nuances that Miller gave him which improved his whole psychology immensely. The backdrop of 80s constant nuclear annihilation threat as Cold-War paranoia is also something that's sdaly very much present again in our society, that could use a figure as big as The Dark Knight to be sure. Also, I always loved the concept of Carrie Kelley as Robin; I think it offsets the whole grim darkness of Wayne's typical demeanor with some adolescent enthusiasm beyond the usual clumsy sidekick.

As usual, I hope you enjoy!

Nic.-
