 FROM THE WRITER OF
300 & SIN CITY

FRANK
MILLER
Frank Miller’s classic graphic novel features
a Gotham City that has sunk into decadence
and lawlessness ten years after an aging
Batman retired. The Dark Knight returns in
a blaze of glory when his city needs him most to
end the threat of a brutal new generation
of criminals while encountering the Joker,
Two-Face and the Man of Steel for the final time.
