What is the significance of being a hero? In Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns‚ I would like to address the theme of rebirth and its relevance to Batman. Batman’s rebirth can be seen through‚ his physical changes‚ superhero power struggle‚ and his death. Batman’s rebirth is witnessed by his initial physical changes.
