  • The Dark Knight III

    From ComicVine:
    The “THE DARK KNIGHT III: THE MASTER RACE” is the sequel to Miller’s 1986 classic THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS – heralded by TIME Magazine as one of the 10 greatest graphic novels of all time – and its 2001-2002 follow-up series BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT STRIKES AGAIN.

    Miller will be joined by acclaimed writer Brian Azzarello (100 BULLETS, JOKER, and WONDER WOMAN) on the eight-issue comic book periodical, to be published twice a month under the DC Comics imprint. Marking the 30th anniversary of THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS original series, this periodical is slated for publication beginning in late Fall 2015.

    “Batman remains my favorite comic book hero and a sequel to Dark Knight is going to be daunting," said Miller, "but we’ll do our best.”
    “We are thrilled to have Frank back home at DC writing Batman,” according to Dan DiDio and Jim Lee, Co-Publishers for DC Entertainment. “The story he and Brian have crafted is an astounding and triumphant conclusion to this seminal body of work which influenced and shaped generations of readers and creators alike.”

    According to Azzarello, “It's been an amazing experience collaborating with Frank these past six months. I think we have an epic story that these characters truly deserve.”
    Artists for the project have yet to be announced.

    Did anyone like the second one? I've avoided reading it because I thought it was negatively regarded.

      I heard many say the second is one of the worst sequels of all time.

      I read someone say hopefully Brian Azzarello writes the whole story and just puts Frank Millers name on it.

        The second one has it's moments but overall it's a mess both art and storywise.

        This is what I'm hoping too. Azzarello is a great writer.

          Glad to know I'm not crazy in thinking the second wasn't well received, though I'm sure curiosity will eventually have me reading it.

          The Azzarello part is definitely what caught my eye.

            Just in time to cash in on the movie hype. Free marketing for everybody!

              ^ What did you think of the Before Watchmen? Azzarello's Comedian story was good, the Doctor Manhattan one was great and so were the Minutemen & Ozymandias.

              Hopefully a good TDK story has been brewing for years (and not just the six months of collaboration) and the editorial just decided to save it for the upcoming BvS.

                I didn't read any of the Before Watchmen series. I'll let others speak to the quality of those.

                  I have mixed feelings on the second one. The art is a complete mess but the story itself is okay. Not as phenomenal as the first but still a decent story.
