Collects BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE, a story from BATMAN. Together with his army of Bat-soldiers, including Carrie Kelley-formerly Robin, and now the new Catgirl-the Dark Knight wages a new war on a diseased world that's become completely lost. This new edition presents the exquisite artwork of Brian Bolland in black and white for the first time. The Dark Knight returns once again with a vitality unseen since the first years of his war on crime.

He's watched it fester to near-breaking point, and it's time for the only free man left who can effect any real change to bring it all down around their ears once and for all. A perfectly choreographed, pretty little world where everything that's ugly, or even potentially disturbing, is all nicely wrapped up with neat little ribbons and swept under the carpet. What the world at large doesn't know is that it's a total sham. Now Batman must race to stop his archnemesis before his reign of terror claims two of the Dark Knight's closest friends.Batman Noir: The Dark Knight Strikes Again continues writer and artist Frank Miller's dystopian Batman tale in gritty black-and-white inks as it has never been seen before.It has been three years since the events of The Dark Knight Returns, and everything is just fine. I dont suppose anyone will try and read this edition for their very first reading of the Killing Joke, though.

And he's going to use Gotham City's top cop, Commissioner Jim Gordon, and his brilliant and beautiful daughter Barbara to do it.
