Yeah, I liked the plot in Dark Knight Returns about using the heroes, and it was a satire on the genre itself, with Miller even taking jabs at the "dark" trend in comics he helped create. Superman's characterization just seemed jarring to me though (however, it might have been the logical progression from DK2). That said, I loved what Miller did with Hal Jordan/GL in this. Like I said, disappointed isn't really the word. It was just so...different, I guess. I'll have to give it another read sometime soon.

I never was a big fan of variant covers in the sense that I felt like I had to have them all. I get mad when the cover I prefer is the rarer of the two. I like how Wolverine: Origins ships with a 50/50 split, so I can get the one I want.
