Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
But, other than Holli, I've never heard a positive word about DKSA. I couldn't get through the first part.
So you don't know how it ends? Because that's the worst part of it, I think.
Does the first book have anything to do with the Batman Beyond series?
My comic book store is closing down. So much for my summer job there.
Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
(Did you get Deadshot #5, BTW?)
DKSA was everything I was hoping a sequel to DKR wouldn't be. Oh well, it least it had Barry Allen.

Are you asking about Dark Knight Returns? As it came out sometime in the mid eighties I would think not.

DKR was (and is, and will continue to be, I'm sure) a huge influence on a lot of the Batverse -- even though it's an AU, the whole dark gritty bat thing has been huge ever since, and really wasn't nearly as evident for a long time pre-DKR. But that said, it is an AU, so plotwise, there's really no connection.

Except for the random "Carrie Kelly" headstone in the future!Titans storyline, which gave me all kinds of plot bunnies.
Oh no! SA, that blows!

Also in the toonverse, they have an episode with three kids spinning stories about how they imagine Batman, and one story is clearly DKR, and the kid telling it is Carrie.
I take it AU is alternate universe. They should print disclaimers on the backs of these things, because I almost threw the book across the room after what they did to poor Dick.
My 5 year old saw me reading it and recognized the emblem (she's a huge batman fan.) She couldn't understand that there was batman for kids, and then batman for grownups, and no, she couldn't read daddy's book. What is the appropriate age to shatter a child's heroes?

Normally, they stamp 'em with "Elseworlds", though I know this one isn't.
Stamped, that is.
Continuity is an ever-shifting thing, which makes it tricky to figure at times. (Sighs, because Full Circle isn't in continuity any longer.)
The Talia/Bruce kid is AU, isn't it?
