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..,

The contrast between these events and the 'No More Hate' anti-Trump posters are clear for Miller and Grampa.

But where is all this chaos coming from? Seems that the people have an out, as back in Trump Campaign headquarters, Steve Bannon and Kelly Anne Conway – I'm sorry, I mean Darkseid and The Joker, are taking stock, with Joker kids working social media.

And we get to see some real Trump puppet figures as well.

Any chance DC Comics might make these as official Dark Knight merchandise?

I mean, The Joker makes a valid point. Warner Bros, you already make V for Vendetta masks for Anonymous, why not make money from the other side as well?

As the Joker dressed up in the red white and blue, behind Trump posters in the Obama mode…

With a familiar message for Melania Trump fans on the back. And even the kids have their own messages to share.

Yes, it's insane. But who is going to tell Miller and Grampa no?Aside from changing President to Governor that is…
