One of the most highly anticipated sequels of all-time is finally here in Batman: The Dark Knight: Master Race!
In 1986, Frank Miller introduced his iconic take on Batman and changed the face of comics forever. Now, three decades after Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Miller himself has returned with a third chapter to his groundbreaking saga.
It’s been three years since the Batman defeated Lex Luthor and saved the world from tyranny. Three years since anyone has seen Gotham City’s guardian alive. Wonder Woman, Queen of the Amazons… Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern… Superman, the Man of Steel… all of the Dark Knight’s allies have retreated from the front lines of the war against injustice.
But now a new war is beginning. An army of unimaginable power led by Superman’s own daughter is preparing to claim Earth as their new world.
The only force that can stop this master race—Batman—is dead.
Long live the new Batman…
Collecting the full nine-issue miniseries and its mini-comic tie-in issues, Batman: The Dark Knight: Master Race features incredible artwork from comics icon Andy Kubert (Flashpoint), as well as Klaus Janson (The Dark Knight Returns), John Romita Jr. (All-Star Batman), Eduardo Risso (100 Bullets) and Frank Miller himself!
"Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and other heroes are back on the page showcasing Miller's distinctive flavor." —USA Today
"Frank Millers's return to the Dark Knight universe is not only an all-star collaboration, but also the rare comic-book "event" that lives up to its own hype." —Washington Post
"Penciller Andy Kubert and inker Klaus Janson remain as on-point as ever." —New York Daily News "Engaging.... a smart, gripping read." —PopMatters "It's hard to resist a comic that features the talents of Frank Miller, Klaus Janson, Brian Azzarello, and Andy Kubert. Alone, any one of these guys could sell a comic. With their powers combined? It's insane. Enjoy the ride, because Dark Knight III: The Master Race is pretty damn good." —Nerdist
"Recapturing much of the original's unique visual flavor." —IGN
"The main story is all-but-perfect." —Comic Book Resources
Frank Miller began his career in comics in the late 1970s and rose to fame while drawing and then writing Daredevil for Marvel Comics. He was also the creative force behind Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Batman: Year One, and Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again. His works have not only redefined classic characters, but also revitalized the comics industry on a few occasions. His multi-award-winning graphic novel 300 was brought to full-blooded life in the 2007 movie of the same name. His creator-owned crime saga Sin City first hit the page in 1991, and then the silver screen in 2005, with Miller on board as co-director with Robert Rodriguez. The two returned to direct the sequel Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, released in 2014 and featuring two new stories by Miller. In 2015, Miller returned to his bestselling series with the highly anticipated Dark Knight III: Master Race.
