Frank Miller’s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns: The Comic Book that Invented the Modern Superhero
Geoff Klock at Brooklyn Boulders
Sat, Nov 19 at 6 p.m. | 90 minutes
Join me for a two hour Olio looking at the 30th anniversary of the comic book that changed everything -- its real world politics, its challenging cinematic formal innovations, its operatic tone, its radical revision of the history of all superhero comic books, and its parody of fascism that might actually be a fucked up endorsement. Everyone will have a good time even if they have not read the book.
Included in this ticket is a day pass + free lesson at Brooklyn Boulders climbing gym and complimentary beers by Avery Brewing co.

What is Think Olio?
Think Olio is here to put the liberation back into the liberal arts.
Classically, the liberal arts, were the education considered essential for a free person to take an active part in civic life. To counter a humanities that has been institutionalized and dehumanized we infuse critical thinking, openness, playfulness, and compassion into our learning experience.
