BATMAN THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS #2 (OF 4) FACSIMILE EDITION
Description
Experience Frank Miller's opus as originally published. In a near-future Gotham where crime and indifference have flourished since Batman vanished, his dramatic return shatters the fragile balance. As the Mutant gang escalates their violence, the Dark Knight faces a final, brutal showdown with their brutal leader, while a brave young girl steps forward to aid him. This facsimile edition preserves Miller's signature visuals and pacing, delivering the second chapter of a groundbreaking miniseries that reshaped Batman for a new era. With Miller's writing and art (and variant covers by Miller or Jock), the story blends noir grit with mythic grandeur, establishing a darker, more adult take on Gotham that continues to influence Batman adaptations. This edition collects one of Miller's most influential chapters, inviting new readers to grasp the legacy of a story that redefined heroes, villains, and the moral shadow of vigilante justice.
