6/26/2023 0 Comments The dark knight returns comicYindel’s first action as head of police is to issue a warrant for Batman’s arrest. Carrie Kelly, a teenager, saves up her lunch money to buy her costume to be Robin, and goes in search of Batman. Neither female is a damsel in distress, but both take action to get what they want. One cannot exist without the other.įeminism –Carrie Kelly and Ellen Yindel both take positions of power. It seems as though there has to be a balance. Hero / Villains (Balance) –Batman returns from retirement to fight crime, but just as his presence is made public, the Joker awakens from a catatonic state. He stops crime, but sometimes injures the criminals or police in the process of doing so. He will not kill, but he injured many innocents. It seems like he will do anything, even run from law enforcement to do so. We are presented with a superhero that fights crime, but has his own moral code. Morality – What is right and wrong? Who defines that? Where is the line drawn between what is right and wrong? This is an underlying theme in the graphic novel.
