On Earth 31 the future is bleak. Lex Luthor has maintained marshal law for years, with a compliant Superman not rebelling for fear of causing widespread death. Batman, with help from his protógé Catgirl, frees Atom and Flash. With their help, and the help of others, he plans to return freedom to Earth by going up against Luthor, Brainiac, and his thralls Superman, Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel.
Publisher’s description
Three years after the events in THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, Batman knows the world is nowhere near the perfect little place it pretends to be, and he sees the cracks in the system that have been neatly covered up. It's time to find where all the heroes have gone, and the Dark Knight is the right man for the job.
