Batman’s return to a changed Gotham

Set in a near-future Gotham a decade after Batman’s retirement, this graphic novel brings the Dark Knight back into a city described as having fallen into decay. His return brings him into conflict with a new generation of criminals, while Carrie Kelley takes on the role of Robin. The story also brings Batman’s former enemies back into the picture after years of incarceration and places its heroes amid the threat of an undeclared war between superpowers. This compact edition presents Frank Miller’s Batman saga in a smaller format, joining a personal return to crime-fighting with larger conflicts involving the city and its former heroes.

Book overview

Graphic novels to read anywhere: DC Compact Comics collect DC's bestselling, most iconic stories in a new size!

Regarded as one of the greatest Batman stories of all time, master storyteller Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns is the perfect graphic novel for longtime comic book fans and new readers alike!


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 levels 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 threats 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 who were once the world's greatest heroes?
