DK III: The Master Race, Issue #2 begins with Jane Doe being arrested for assault, dressed as the Batman, screaming, "Bruce Wayne is dead." Next, it's been 27 days since this "Jane Doe" has been arrested, and she hasn't said a word, until now. She simply says, "he never recovered." She narrates a story about how the Batman was nearly killed in a fight. Jane Doe keeps him company for three years before he finally dies, and she eats him. At the same time, the miniaturized Kryptonian city of Kandor awaits its resurrection.
Jane Doe is obviously Carrie Kelley from The Dark Knight Returns. She's probably in The Dark Knight Strikes Back, but I've avoided that book because it's by all accounts a poor outing. DK III isn't a poor outing; it's fantastic so far, worthy of the hype. I bought an 8.0-rated copy of it from www.mycomicshop.com for $8, as it's a somewhat rare issue, at least compared with the rest of the series, which I got for $4 or $5 an issue, up to Issue #7.This is also the one-year anniversary of my blog, which I started on 2/16/2016.
