Rant: I tried reading the 'Dark Knight Returns' after all the hype
Everyone said it was the definitive Batman story, but honestly, I found Frank Miller's writing style super jarring and the art felt dated, which really surprised me. Has anyone else felt let down by a classic book everyone else loves?

My book club picked Watchmen last year and half of us had the same issue. It feels like a lot of these "classic" stories get praised so much that the actual reading experience can't live up to it. You just end up noticing all the dated parts instead of getting swept away.

Yeah, my book club's high expectations ruined Moby Dick for me too.
