BATMAN: The Dark Knight Returns

In 1986, writer/artist Frank Miller reinvented the legend of the Batman in his four-part saga of a near-future Gotham City gone to rot, a decade following the Dark Knight’s retirement from crimefighting. This masterpiece of modern comics storytelling celebrates its 40th anniversary this year with this new edition!

The Dark Knight returns in a blaze of fury, taking on a whole new generation of criminals and matching their level of violence blow for blow. He is soon joined by a new Robin—a girl named Carrie Kelley—who proves to be just as invaluable to Batman as was her predecessors. But can Batman and this new Robin deal with the threat posed by their deadliest enemies, after years of incarceration have turned them into perfect psychopaths? And more importantly, 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?

Celebrate 40 years of one of the most influential stories ever told in the comics medium with the undisputed classic Batman: The Dark Knight Returns!
