Where was the Green Lantern? In the city labeled by the U.S. Attorney General, Homer Cummings, “the poison spot of the nation, a haven for criminals, a citadel of crime”, where the police were as corrupt as the crooks, everyday citizens lived next door to the FBI’s most-wanted criminals such as: Baby Face Nelson, Alvin Creepy Karpis, Machine Gun Kelly, Ma Barker’s Gang and Public Enemy #1 John Dillinger;.

The comic book “Legends of the Dark Knight” that written by the author named Chuck Dixon shows the great examples why the comic books should not be presented to the children.
