The Dark Knight Strikes Again #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the first three issues of Frank Miller's sequel to 'The Dark Knight Returns,' reuniting an older, grittier Batman with a fractured Justice League in a dystopian near-future. Miller's signature stylized art and dense, satirical storytelling continue the saga of a world pushed to the brink by authoritarian control and super-powered chaos.
In the dystopian future of Earth 31, Lex Luthor’s iron rule has silenced resistance—except for one man who refuses to stay down. Batman, aided by his protégé Catgirl and the rescued Atom and Flash, begins a desperate campaign to free a world enslaved by Luthor, Brainiac, and their loyal enforcers: Superman, Wonder Woman, and Captain Marvel. Written, drawn, and inked by Frank Miller, with colors by Lynn Varley and letters by Todd Klein, this first chapter of The Dark Knight Strikes Again sets a relentless, high-stakes tone from the very first page—its stark cover by Miller capturing the grim determination of a crusade that refuses to die.
