In un mondo letteralmente allo sbando, Bruce Wayne, che aveva appeso il costume di Batman al chiodo dieci anni prima, deve rientrare in azione per salvare una Gotham City mai così tetra, decadente e pericolosa. Ma Batman non è più un ragazzino e gli anni si fanno sentire, anche se il Cavaliere Oscuro non mollerà così facilmente. Le probabilità, però, sono tutte a suo sfavore: il mondo non è più quello che ha lasciato, e ora è in mano a politici corrotti, liberal ipocriti e sventati, spietati mutanti senza direzione e un crimine sempre più disperato e brutale. In uno scenario che diventa, letteralmente, apocalittico, per salvare il mondo Bruce, aiutato dal fido Alfred e da una nuova incarnazione di Robin, dovrà scontrarsi non solo con un establishment inetto e opportunista, ma anche con una società che ha smarrito l''onore, la decenza e il senso della giustizia che hanno reso Bruce Wayne e Batman quello che sono. Dalla mente di Frank Miller, la saga che ha ridefinito per sempre la potenza narrativa di Batman e ha ispirato una generazione di fumettisti e cineasti. [CONTIENE: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS 1-4]
