Product Description Amazon.com ReviewIf any comic has a claim to have truly reinvigorated the genre, then The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller--known also for his excellent Sin City series and his superb rendering of the blind superhero Daredevil--is probably the top contender. Batman represented all that was wrong in comics and Miller set himself a tough task taking on the camp crusader and turning this laughable, innocuous children's cartoon character into a hero for our times. The great Alan Moore argued that only someone of Miller's stature could have done this. Batman is a character known well beyond the confines of the comic world and so reinventing him, while keeping his limiting core essentials intact, was a huge task.Miller went far beyond the call of duty. The Dark Knight is a success on every level. Firstly it does keep the core elements of the Batman myth intact, with Robin, Alfred the butler, Commissioner Gordon, and the old roster of villains, present yet brilliantly subverted. Secondly the artwork is fantastic--detailed, sometimes claustrophobic, psychotic. Lastly it's a great story: Gotham City is a hell on earth, street gangs roam but there are no heroes. Decay is ubiquitous. Where is a hero to save Gotham? It is 10 years since the last recorded sighting of the Batman. And things have got worse than ever. Bruce Wayne is close to being a broken man but something is keeping him sane: the need to see change and the belief that he can orchestrate some of that change. Batman is back. The Dark Knight has returned. Awesome. --Mark ThwaiteProduct DescriptionNo story in the Batman world is probably more important than Frank Miller's ""THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS."" First released in 1986, it, along with Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon's ""WATCHMEN"", was responsible for the rejuvenation of the comics industry as a whole. In the story, it is the tenth anniversary of the last sighting of Batman - and according to a poll, most teenagers consider him to be a myth. James Gordon is still the Commissioner of Police, and his police are struggling against a violent new gang, the Mutants, who have issued a death threat against him. Having retired after the death of the second Robin, Jason Todd, Bruce Wayne begins to feel a familiar calling as his city spirals into chaos... but at fifty years of age, does he still have what it takes to be Batman? And what happens when his old foes find out he has returned? DC Comics published this trade paperback of the Frank Miller classic, which is truly one of the landmarks in comic history.
