Writer artist Frank Miller completely reinvents the legend of Batman in this saga of a
near-future Gotham City gone to rot 10 years after the Dark Knight's retirement. Forced to
take action the Dark Knight returns in a blaze of fury taking on a whole new generation of
criminals and matching their level of violence. He is soon joined by a new Robin-a girl named
Carrie Kelley who proves to be just as invaluable as her predecessors. Can Batman and Robin
deal with the threat posed by their deadliest enemies after years of incarceration have turned
them into perfect psychopaths? And more important can anyone survive the coming fallout from
an undeclared war between the superpowers-or the clash of what were once the world's greatest
heroes? Hailed as a comics masterpiece The Dark Knight Returns is Frank Miller's (300 and Sin
City) reinvention of Gotham's legendary protector. It remains one of the most influential
stories ever told in comics with its echoes felt in all media forms of DC's storytelling.
Collects issues #1-4.
