BEFORE 'The Dark Knight Returns'.Īnd don’t forget (though I know you WANT TO) Over fifteen years after its debut, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns remains an undisputed classic and one of the most influential stories ever told in the comics medium.Ĭollecting Batman: The Dark Knight Returns #1-4 He is soon joined by this generation's Robin-a girl named Carrie Kelley, who proves to be just as invaluable as her predecessors.īut can Batman and Robin deal with the threat posed by their deadliest enemies, after years of incarceration have made them into perfect psychopaths? And more important, can anyone survive the coming fallout of an undeclared war between the superpowers-or a clash of what were once the world's greatest superheroes? The Dark Knight returns in a blaze of fury, taking on a whole new generation of criminals and matching their level of violence. As civil society crumbles around him, Bruce Wayne's long-suppressed vigilante side finally breaks free of its self-imposed shackles. Together with inker Klaus Janson and colorist Lynn Varley, writer/artist Frank Miller completely reinvents the legend of Batman in his saga of a near-future Gotham City gone to rot, ten years after the Dark Knight's retirement.Ĭrime runs rampant in the streets, and the man who was Batman is still tortured by the memories of his parents' murders.
