In this sequel to Frank Miller's seminal graphic novel Batman: The Dark
Knight Returns, it's three years later and the DC Universe is at peace.
At least on the surface. And Batman must return once again to save the
world from themselves.
Still, the world looks fine: a perfectly choreographed, pretty little
world where everything that's ugly, or even potentially disturbing, is
all nicely wrapped up with neat little ribbons and swept under the
carpet. Only Batman knows better. He's watched it fester to
near-breaking point, and it's time for the only free man left who can
effect any real change to bring it all down around their ears once and
for all.
The Dark Knight returns once again with a vitality unseen since the
first years of his war on crime. Together with his army of Bat-soldiers,
including Carrie Kelley--formerly Robin, and now the new Catgirl--the
Dark Knight wages a new war on a diseased world that's become completely
lost.
Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again features appearances by such DC
icons as Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter, the
Atom, the Question and more. But are they still the World's Greatest
Heroes or part of the conspiracy?
This incredible volume, designed by multiple award-winner Chipp Kidd,
features a new introduction by Miller commenting on returning to the
world he created fifteen years ago. The book includes the complete
3-part story, plus numerous sketches and other never-before-seen
material.
