It's one of the most famous pieces of comics art ever, but have we been looking at it wrong for all these years? Yesterday Frank Miller and Lynn Varley's iconic cover for 1986's The Dark Knight Returns came under renewed scrutiny when Twitter (yes, it's still called that, at least in our world) user Kraken Kaptain (@KrakenKaptain) raised the question of if Batman is front or back facing on the cover.
Now, on the surface, that's an easy question. The Dark Knight is clearly leaping into action with his back turned to the 'camera'. Er... isn't he? Actually now that I look at it again, I'm not quite so sure...
