We also discuss some parallels between Morpheus’ story and Jesus’. Plus, Brian’s garden is formidable, Sam finds Cain and Abel charming, and yes Morpheus is based a little bit on The Cure’s Robert Smith.

The Dollar Bin: Brian and Sam discuss Frank Miller’s “The Dark Knight Returns”

 Here is our Dollar Bin, Church of the Geek’s equivalent version of the discount long box full of old comics that hold a treasure. Brian and Sam hold up a previous episode for a re-examination and this one is a gem.

In this episode we dive into the classic 1986 publication of The Dark Knight Returns. A title that Brian had never read.  Creative team: Frank Miller, Klaus Janson and Lynn Varley. It was a landmark series that redefined the character for generations, and its impact is still felt today in films like Batman V Superman and most recently The Batman.
