    There was a crossover between Marvel and DC years ago in the comics, which included a scene where Joker and Red Skull teamed up, until Joker found out Red Skull's political leanings (aka what he identified as) and then beat Red Skull with a crowbar stating that, "I might be a psychopath, but I'm an AMERICAN psycopath!", pointing out that even the worst of the criminals in DC still hate the Nazis.

    A bit of backstory to TDKR, the original comic was written by Frank Miller, meant to be the conclusion of his take on Batman. His story starts with Batman: Year One, a story that started out as semi-canon, but because it was so well received, it’s now the definitive origin story for Batman, going as far to be the inspiration for the Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy(along with TDKR). .

    The second series in this continuity is All-Star Batman & Robin, written after TDKR

    , it was a comic run that was meant to bridge the gap in between Year One & TDKR, but it was HATED by every single Batfan who read it because of how out of character Bruce was written(he made Batman an actual sociopath… even more than before lol), that series was written as a time where Miller had become more or less disillusioned with Superhero comics. .

    The final story in this series is The Dark Knight Returns, which while beloved by fans, is a far cry from what people would consider the definitive ending to the character. TDKR went on to heavily influence both The Dark Knight Rises & Batman V Superman.

    .

    There’s also The Dark Knight Returns 2(not to be confused with Part 2) written after AS:B&R, but that comic is pretty much universally hated, to the point where it’s now lost to DC media.

      Ahh All Star Batman and Robin. The series that gave us the infamous "what are you dense? Are you re***ded or something? Who the hell do you think i am?  I'm the goddamn batman". Truly there are no better words to say to a child that you just kidnapped who is also freshly grieving the loss of his parents

        Seriously, how Frank Miller went from one of the greatest Batman writers to having Batman & Robin paint themselves yellow in order to beat on Green Lantern(WHO WAS TRYING TO HELP) I’ll never know?

      Fax, but I wouldn’t recommend them start those movies until after they start the DCAMU, the end credits of B:TLH will leave them wanting more from that universe but that’ll be a bit confusing to watch without having seen the rest of the series?

    Two-Face insanity doesn't come from how he looks or him feeling like he's ugly. It's a dark-side that Harvey always had in him that came from his father's abuse. Múltiple Personality Disorder.

    There have been some DC/Marvel crossover comics, both as crossing universes and for interesting, COMBINING universes and characters into what's known as the Amalgam Universe. Examples being Batman and Wolverine, Superman and Captain America, etc.

    This is why I get pissed when everyone says that Zack Snyder made Batman a killer when he literally kills in the Dark Knight Returns and people still call me a liar. The Snyder DC movies weren't perfect, but they were definitely ahead of their time. Zack was adapting the Dark Knight Returns, Doomsday, Injustice, and Apokalips War stories into his films. The fact people were pissed about it shows they never wanted to give Snyder a chance.

      Batman doesn't kill anyone in this story, bud. He brutalizes them and cripples thme but he doesn't kill them

      I'm on the fence about Snyder's Batman killing, the concept is alright it just needs the right execution. I really like how it is in DKR for multiple reasons. First, it's an Old Batman and you can just say, "He's old, tired and doesn't care as much" which is good enough for me. It's also kept ambiguous enough that people are dying, far more attention is directed towards how he brutalizes people. The people he's also quote unquote, but most probably, killing are ******* dirtbag pieces of ****. "Worst criminals Gotham City has seen since the Joker" perfectly describes them and even in the comic Batman has an interior monologue about how the Mutants are just crazy. He sees the Leader walk up and stand in front of the Batmobile's Turret and start ranting and he's like "What are these people, Dick. We never faced beings like THIS, we faced HUMANS." It's really easy to excuse him killing them under these circumstances. Miller also makes it a point to illustrate that Batman... is crazy. He NEVER fully healed from his parents' deaths and has only gotten worse after the assumed events that led him to retire. He's also forced to compromise on his ideals, he's using guns. Two Face was the same way, and I found it funny that they kinda sniffed it out just a tad when they went "Isn't 20 million a little low?" In the comic he notes that he wanted to make it 22 million, but he had bills to pay.

      Batman is more brutal here sure, but he’s not killing people, if he was, it would make a certain fight later on completely redundant.

      I totally agree with you, but I think it was another era when Marvel was at its peak, and the audiences wanted entertaining movies like Avengers with humor. The general public struggled to understand why Batman was like that because Ben Affleck  didn't have his own  Batman movie.

          He isn't. Batman killing people would make his confrontation and refusal to kill the joker in the next part redundant

        I just don't understand why people are ok with THIS Batman being a killer, but not Snyder's Batman, it makes no sense. And the arguement of "this isn't mainline Batman so it doesn't count" is bullshit. It's still a comic and Batman still kills in it.

    Now, Keep in mind, the Dark Knight returns is an elseworld story, noncanon to the main DC universe, HOWEVER...we DO have a female Robin in canon, after Tim Drake, But Before Damian wayne. Although her stint as Robin was short, Stephanie Brown Aka Batgirl Aka The Spoiler filled Tim's spot for a little bit, and helped out Damian in the DCeased storyline
