When asked about the end of the Dark Knight “trilogy,” Miller said this: “Unless DC Comics has decided that I’m not entitled to do another one, there will be another one.” ![]() The poster’s sole text-aside from the book’s artist credits and release date-screams that this series is “THE EPIC CONCLUSION TO THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS TRILOGY.” That very poster hangs in my local comic shop-also, my home office-but today I’m hard-pressed to find that same language in Dark Knight promos-that is, at least after the bomb Miller dropped among many recent interviews in support of DK III. Earlier this summer a poster was mailed to comic vendors and press that features a stark, black-and-white rendition of Batman. There’s a small update in DC Comics’ marketing language for The Dark Knight III: The Master Race, but it’s a change I wish I’d have caught before my phone call with Dark Knight Returns scribe Frank Miller and inker Klaus Janson. ![]()

I’ve read all the books in the Bridgerton series and I’m going to link to them, while I talk about the new epilogues. The epilogues are not as good as I was hoping they will be.
