I won't deny Year One is brilliant but this just edges it for me, a truly brilliant story with amazing art, not as dark as "Arkham Asylum" but it stays with you for weeks, I hope a film is made of this away from the Nolan verse.

It is between this and Watchmen for my favourite ever but I'm still a novice in graphic novels I reccomend this if you like Batman and want a place to start with graphic novels.

The release of the new edition prompted me to dust off and rediscover the Dark Knight Returns after over 10 years. Theres always a risk that nostalgia ain't what it used to be but... in this case it certainly is. Recommended to anyone who thinks they're too old for comics.

Millers Batman is enbued with all the fears and doubts of growing old and seeing the world around him changing and being able to do nothing about it. All the familiar villans are here but they have an even darker side much like our hero.

Even Superman is now an agent of the Government ..

Please read this even if you have never though of touching a comic book..

This book is astonishing, this brought the dark knight back, and brought the comics into my house, the first batman comic i ever read.
Essential , buy it now, read it love it, the dark knight triumphant.
