It's becoming more and more common for major event comics at Marvel and DC to receive a last-minute extra issue. It happened with Secret Wars in 2015 and Civil War II in 2016, and now The Dark Knight III is getting in on that action. In every case, the reasoning is the same. The creators realized as they were crafting their superhero epic that they needed more room to give the story the finish it deserved. Time will ultimately tell if that approach was justified here, but it's hard to ignore the fact that issue #8 feels particularly light on story, even by the book's usual standard.
Issue #8 follows two main story threads. On one hand, we see the fallout from Superman's decision to drop a dying Bruce into the Lazarus Pit in the previous issue. That's a pretty huge twist considering that the Dark Knight mythos hinges so fundamentally on the idea of an aged Batman coming out of retirement. Strangely, writers Frank Miller and Brian Azzarello show little interest in exploring the impact of that development on Bruce himself or Carrie. At the very least, you'd expect the backup feature to dig a little deeper. But instead, the backup dwells on a mostly pointless and confusingly rendered side-story involving the return of a minor character from the original Dark Knight Returns.
