Batman: The Dark Knight Returns is a four-issue comic book limited series written and drawn by Frank Miller and colored by Lynn VArley, originally published by DC Comics in 1986. The Dark Knight Returns is set in a dystopian near-future versiion of Gotham City and tells the story of a middle-aged Batman who comes out of retirement to fight crime, only to face opposition from the Gotham City police force and the United States government and to face his arch-nemesis, perhaps for the last time. This special 10th Anniversary Edition trade paperback collects all four issues of this landmark series and includes sketches and an introduction by Frank Miller. IGN Comics ranked The Dark Knight Returns number 2 on a list of the 25 greatest Batman graphic novels, second only to Batman: Year One, another Frank Miller work on the character. The website called The Dark Knight Returns "a true masterpiece of storytelling" with "scene after unforgettable scene." In 2005, Time chose the collected four-issues as one of the 10 best English language graphic novels ever written.
