The Joker and Darkseid Campaign For Donald Trump in Dark Knight Returns: The Golden Child from DC Comics

Today sees the publication of the much anticipated Batman: Dark Knight Returns: The Golden Child from Frank Miller and Rafael Grampa. We pointed out yesterday that there was a certain amount of Trump re-election campaigning going on, and a riot taking place as a result. But that's just a tiny amount compared to the full comic book, published today. Here's a smattering.

Now, Trump is never referred to Trump and, indeed, he is not a Presidential candidate, here but a Governor seeking re-electing. Given Miller's happiness to put sitting Presidents into previous Dark Knight instalments, this suggests that a change may have come down from on high to amend President to Governor. That bloody Batman Damned, still affecting other comics.

With Batwoman in the middle of protestors, anti-Trump Batmen-masked protestors being set upon by Joker-themed thugs. But I'm sure there are good people on both sides. Carrie Kelley, previously Batman and now the new Batwoman, can only see the negative side. But she has to pick one..,

That's so sick and twisted, only the deranged mind of a clown could come up with an idea like putting a dang cheeto in the White House
