Ep 420: Batman: The Dark Knight Returns 40th Year Anniversary Breakdown
Episode 421
Thursday, 12 February, 2026

This week on the Major Issues Podcast, the hosts celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Dark Knight Returns with a full breakdown of the groundbreaking story that redefined Batman for a generation. Join us as we revisit Frank Miller’s dystopian vision of an aging Bruce Wayne coming out of retirement, unpack the political and cultural commentary embedded in its pages, and examine how the series reshaped superhero storytelling in the years that followed. From its influence on modern comics and film to its lasting impact on Batman’s characterization, this is a deep dive into one of the most important graphic novels ever published.
