JLA Year One had me spoiled I guess. Batman "The Long Halloween" is also a great arc if your interested in more of The Dark Knight.

And can someone explain why, if DKR takes place in the near future, WHY Reagan is still president and why the USSR still exists?

I've never understood why he used Reagan, but I do understand the U.S.S.R.; keep in mind that it was written around 1985, I believe, and at the time there was no end in site to the Cold War.

Have you read DK2? Many people didn't like it, but I did. I especially loved Miller's take on the relativists: Braniac's destroying everthing, some geek goes on TV and starts talking about how we can't make value judgements about the bad guys, then he says "Excuse me? Why yes, I'm from San Francisco, why do you ask?". LOL
