Millennium Edition: Batman: The Dark Knight Returns

    (DC, 2000)
™ and ©2000 DC Comics

To celebrate the end of one millennium and the beginning of another, DC Comics published a series of Millennium Editions that reprinted significant books from the Golden, Silver, Bronze, and Modern Ages of Comics. Gotham City is a cesspool of crime. Commissioner Gordon is on the verge of retirement. Bruce Wayne is a middle-aged billionaire with a death wish, and the Batman is considered a myth, for none have seen him in 10 years. But that’s about to change as Two-Face escapes, the Joker emerges from a catatonic state, and a dying city’s long-lost champion returns for his greatest—and final—battle. Frank Miller’s 1986 tale of the Dark Knight presented one of the most startling and realistic visions of Batman ever seen, revitalizing interest in the super-hero genre, and securing Batman’s rightful place as the most popular comics hero of the century.
