Owner's Description

Full title of this book: "Batman: Dark Knight Triumphant". See the description regarding issue #1 for an elaborate introduction to the four "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" books.

It has been speculated that this book inspired mass murderer James Eagan Holmes, July 20th 2012 at the Batman movie “The Dark Knight Rises” in Aurora, Colorado, to kill 12 people and wound 58:

"There are eerie similarities between the massacre at the Aurora multiplex during a showing of “The Dark Knight Rises” and a sequence in a seminal 1986 comic book. In the second issue of Frank Miller’s “The Dark Knight Returns” a crazed gunman stands up in the middle of a Batman-inspired porn movie and opens fire inside the crowded theater."

According to Wikipedia, Holmes pretended to be The Joker and had dyed his hair red, which may seem strange, because The Joker normally has green hair. The gunman Arnold Crimp in DKR #2 had red hair.
