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..,

• US Court cancels Marvel and DC's joint "Super Hero" trademark after legal challenge.
• This opens the term "Super Hero" for public use, benefiting small creators like Superbabies Ltd.
• The case argued that "Super Hero" is a generic term, not deserving of trademark protection.
• History of Marvel and DC's previous successes defending the "Super Hero" trademark outlines their tight control.

The law firm of Reichman Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg (RJLF) has announced a landmark victory in its trademark case against comics publishers Marvel and DC Comics. They have obtained an order from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office cancelling Marvel and DC Comics' joint trademark for the word "Super Hero" and thus allowing their clients, S.J. Richold and Superbabies Limited, to freely use the term. Bleeding Cool previously covered the legal situation here.

This trademark cancellation was granted after Marvel and DC failed to respond to court requests.

Part dog, part man, all hero.

From DreamWorks Animation—creators of the beloved blockbuster franchises Kung Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon and The Boss Baby—comes the canine-crime-fighting film adaptation of Dav Pilkey’s New York Times bestselling literary phenomenon: Dog Man.

When a faithful police dog and his human police officer owner are injured together on the job, a harebrained but life-saving surgery fuses the two of them together and Dog Man is born. Dog Man is sworn to protect and serve—and fetch, sit and roll over.

They turned the Dog into a Pig sad

Doom is crying because the Planes missed the Baxter Building.

link to the comic

After October 7th this was out of stock for nearly a year. It has just been replenished. I managed to pick up a copy from the local library and it was incredible. Then you realize it depicts events that happened in the early 90s and the occupation has become far, far more advanced since then.
