Description
Finally, the last entry in Frank Miller's acclaimed Dark Knight trilogy is published in deluxe Absolute edition format!
It's been three years since the Batman defeated Lex Luthor and saved the world from tyranny. Three years since anyone has seen Gotham City's guardian alive. Wonder Woman, Queen of the Amazons; Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern; Superman, the Man of Steel; all of the Dark Knight's allies have retreated from the front lines of the war against injustice.
But now a new war is beginning. An army of unimaginable power led by Superman's own daughter is preparing to claim Earth as their new world. The only force that can stop this master race—Batman—is dead.
Long live the new Batman... Absolute Batman: The Dark Knight - Master Race collects the full nine-issue miniseries and its minicomic tie-in issues. Written by comics legend Frank Miller and Brian Azzarello, the series features incredible artwork from superstar artist Andy Kubert (FLASHPOINT), as well as Klaus Janson (THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS), John Romita Jr. (ALL-STAR BATMAN), Eduardo Risso (100 BULLETS) and Frank Miller himself!
This volume also includes over 150 variant covers, a sketchbook gallery packed with behind-the-scenes extras, and the prequel story Dark Knight Returns: The Last Crusade, by Miller, Azzarello, and Romita Jr.

About the Author
Brian Azzarello has been writing comics professionally since the mid-1990s. He is the author of Johnny Double, Batman: Broken City and the Harvey and Eisner Award-winning 100 Bullets, all created in collaboration with artist Eduardo Risso. The New York Times bestselling author's other work for DC includes the titles Hellblazer and Loveless (both with Marcelo Frusin), Batman: Dark Knight III: The Master Race (with Frank Miller, Andy Kubert and Klaus Janson), Superman: For Tomorrow (with Jim Lee), Joker and Luthor (both with Lee Bermejo) and Wonder Woman (with Cliff Chiang). Most recently he reunited with Lee Bermejo to kick off DC's Black Label imprint with the bestseller Batman: Damned. Frank Miller began his career in comics in the late 1970s and rose to fame while first drawing, and then writing, Daredevil for Marvel Comics. He was also the creative force behind Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Batman: Year One and Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again. His many works have not only redefined classic characters, but also, on a few occasions, revitalized the comics industry. His multi-award-winning graphic novel 300 was brought to full-blooded life in the 2007 motion picture of the same name, and in 2008 he directed the feature film Will Eisner's The Spirit. His creator-owned crime saga Sin City first hit the page in 1991, and then the silver screen in 2005, with Miller on board as co-director with Robert Rodriguez. The two returned to direct the sequel Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, released in 2014 and featuring two new stories by Miller. In 2015, Miller returned to his best-selling series with the highly anticipated Batman: The Dark Knight: Master Race.
