Critical Reception
The Dark Knight Strikes Again has gained mixed to negative reception. Grovel.org.uk gave the miniseries two stars out of five, and states that it "reads as a thunderous artillery barrage, all smoke and noise, lacking in nuance". Infinityplus.co.uk gave a mixed review of the miniseries, and ultimately ended the review by stating that the comic "has considerable chutzpah, but its careless execution is regrettable". Similarly, The Guardian noted that "There are flashes of brilliance - few can control page layouts like Miller - but in general the idea of the ironic superhero seems rather dated."

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reception:
“The critical method which denies literary modernity would appear—and even, in certain respects, would be—the most modern of critical movements.”
—Paul Deman (1919–1983)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
