Say what you will about the execution of The Dark Knight Strikes Again, but at least that series felt like a wholly unique beast when held against its predecessor, The Dark Knight Returns. The Dark Knight III: The Master Race, by comparison seems content to return to the beaten path. It's much more in line with the original series in both look and feel, but that's not really cause for celebration. Nor is the nagging sense that this book is content to do less with more space.
The word "decompressed" is thrown around a lot with modern superhero stories. At times it's an unfair critique, but it seems to be an apt description of The Dark Knight III. Between the eight-issue structure and the bonus mini-comics attached to each issue, DKIII is a much longer book than its predecessors. But DKR and DKSA were dense and tightly paced, making the most of their relatively more modest page count. DKR especially was crammed with small, intricate panels and as much visual information as Frank Miller could fit on the page. DKIII is far less dense. At this point, with the core conflict only beginning to coalesce, the pacing of this book feels downright languid.
