Whats with the Barbara Gordon - Batgirl/Oracle... in the events of The Dark Knight Returns ? Is she live in that events ?

Where was half the Bat Family during that story?

They mostly didn´t existed at the time.

I know Jason was dead IIRC. I guess he never came back to life. I can't remember where Dick was.

She just wasn't a part of the story.

@jashro44: dick was the guy posing as joker in TDKSA he had been fired as robin and was implanted with nanomachines in exchange to kill heroes who wouldn't work for lex.the one who beat catgirl at the end

I still need to read the dark knight strikes again.

@jashro44: if you understand and appreciate satyre then you will love it.if not maybe not. Usually people dislike it but its great satire on the government and pop culture/ society in general

I can´t get past the art.

@black_arrow: I love book but I really do hate the art.its garbage the hands are too big and everything just looks like a weird fever dream.

But if you can appreciate story that's being told and the satire its a great story

I don't think it was ever explained.
