Set Description:
The Batman as the Dark Knight is tossing DC characters around like a self-proclaimed "RAGMAN!"
This is what happens when the Batman tries to call "shotgun" in a helicopter!
Captivating and off the cuff, Frank Miller brings a new dynamic duo against each other. Superman with the Batman wondering what if? Who could defeat the man of steel if needed? The bonds of brutality and a gentle name betwixt them lead to a soft ending!
Full of movie spoiling and taking it to the next level? Yes, indeed, this is groundbreaking. Many a plot has been stirred and cultivated from this melting pot!

Darkness is the Night, as is the Batman, or so it would seem; although, his "goal" seems to be sharing the light of renewal and the goal to see through all the veneer to the gleam in an innocent individual's life!
This is the return. Beautiful Burn, of a return, by none other than Frank Miller. That coincides that the Batman must keep the channel open for help, but when here in this series it is blasted all over the TV? It takes the elderly by surprise, enabled to get the job done with certainty but all a work in progress. After 4 issues it gets laid to rest into a decades or so long sleep, until another continuation darkens the local comic store. It is well received with this first series, lasting into a generation who might have longed for a second iteration. Small beginnings, humble beginnings that turned humongous!
Advantage the Batman as he recoils from two-face and on to the Joker, "Get that camera out of my face!" "I'm working here!"
A private eye or detective really shouldn't be so publicly involved, it's bad for business.

1st app of Carrie Kelly. Two-Face is first on the Dark Knight's dominoes to topple with purpose. The Dark Knight is on the case and justice shall prevail! Frank Miller keeps the mood eerie to see the ties that bind, and how well knit the community is at DC! Glad I got the graders notes and someone used this as a turntable. A head scratcher for sure. Now a classic, this cover has stood the test, and reflection of it has some trying to repeat the success or even hype. Frank Miller even has coined back-ups and future stories to coalesce. Not always to the same fame or respect, it is just nice to see these still be relevant for the classics they are and the time or era they represent! I remember Klaus Janson also getting his first big hit on his hands by inking Millers art, and I'm glad that this issue is under his completed repertoire, as it is a very fine piece of interior!
 This is what happens when the Batman tries to call "shotgun" in a helicopter!
Complete with a back cover picture of my long-owned 3rd print reader, got to love the collection enough to have reader copies! A bit of a dystopian uprising that The Batman is having to simmer down, almost through any means necessary, although even here at age 55, he has his calm wits about him!
Grader Notes;
large scratch top of back cover.

Carrie Kelley becomes Robin. Frank Miller story & cover. Frank Miller & Klaus Janson art. That is the female variety show, but yes with skill and a bit of drop-down studious desk jockey types in family. Time is in the details, and those foolish things are the wisdom unfounded in the ages of past throughfares. No peace, no anger, no gentleness in promises, and are all the conjunctions of the teaching that you are good at, as a child and little one unto those who would be a Batman. That doesn't take the preaching of an unstable school student, but the flood of courage makes a man. That being studious to represent and keep those teachings of learnable peaceable fruit in detective sleuths but quiet is the gentleness in spirit to ponder and contemplate a matter. The vision and knowledge are clear but what is taken away from a hero is nothing more than what is left behind after departing.
 Thank You Gift With the Slab. Thank you kisses by way of the drudged-up timings in comics and fanfare, while that may be the only stillness of heart for DC, Marvel, or any other type of honorable type examples.
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released publicly of the movie, "Chainsaw, MAN!" It isn't as if those limbs and appendages are going to be pruned by themselves, and as hands and feet willing to abide we ask the Father to do so as sons and daughters, but at what point do we get called upon before weekly pick-up? It is the end to something but a beginning to the fruit of labors entered all the same to those abiding, regardless. It is going to take a chainsaw?
Grader Notes;
scuff back cover.

Frank Miller story & cover. Frank Miller & Klaus Janson art. "Death" of the Joker. "Why So Serious?" This universe version of the Batman is so close to the adamant feelings of any original and with edge, but at this time may not hold back his retribution and or justice. Joker getting just deserts shows to what degree the long, drawn-out patience and endurance has come, too, when the Dark Knight finally sends home the message of a prevailing blow. Not to be out done, the Joker tries to have a "last laugh" but the Batman as a Dark Knight is having no quarter with those trucks in plot device and keeps the motor running to head out on the highway. He's had his taste of adventure, and nothing will stand in his way. He is tired of the "happenings" and those out of the shadow of an embrace, it is time to fire all of the guns at once to explode the space of vengeance.
 The Batman as the Dark Knight is tossing DC characters around like a self-proclaimed "RAGMAN!"
Complete with a back cover picture to show that "deaths" fly high in any universe, or on an occasion where it takes a good story to promote the plot twist! Even if it takes George Perez!
Grader Notes;
Left Bottom Back Cover Scratch.

Frank Miller story & cover. Frank Miller & Klaus Janson art. Batman vs. Superman. "Death" of Alfred. Like a true nature's child, Superman was born and born to be wild. That doesn't rest easy with a Batman as a Dark Knight, for if there was ever to be a reckon less abandonment of "power", then the Dark Knight had better reign in his way of surviving any such disaster. At what expense? A relative? A close friend? To keep the enemies closer, there is only one who sticks closer than a brother, but when the Dark Knight grips the reigns, then the Lord help us, as there will be some kryptonite in play! Not pulling the punches as the time of some "reckoning" is upon the brow of a Batman and he aims to confirm his position in the field of play, and that schoolground is a sandbox only big enough for certain variables, of which he aims to put at the top a "Dark Knight!"
 Frank Miller was cheeky this issue, he threw in a character in this Batman issue sporting a "Miracleman" T-shirt, perhaps realizing the miracle at this series end! "Famiglia!"
Complete with a back cover picture of who then comes for the Batman and Co.? The next set I'd like to get. Na-Na-Na-Na, Batman! Death in the Family Trade Paperback!
Grader Notes Unavailable.
