When the maniacal Joker enters a gubernatorial election, the
Dark Knight takes action. But Batman discovers he's in way
over his head when the unexpected return of former girlfriend
Silver St. Cloud leaves him torn between love and duty. With
adversaries like the Clown Prince of Crime, Two-Face, Scarecrow,
and others to contend with, Batman must make a choice between
his quest for justice and his affections for Silver. But will
his indecision cost him everything...?
Dark
Detective features
a rare event in the Batman universe - Bruce Wayne/Batman
falling in love. But will this mean that he turns his back
on his promise to avenge his parent's murderer by stamping
out crime wherever it raises it's ugly head? And how will
the love of his life cope with his dual identity this time?
While
the love angle is something refreshingly new, what makes this
collection a real hit is the reappearance of an old foe -
the Joker. If you thought you'd seen every trick in his repertoire,
then think again. This time the mental clown is running for
governor. And, if people don't vote for him, he's promised
to kill them. The Joker's only real threat is senator Evan
Gregory, who is favourite to take the position of governor.
The twist? It's Gregory's fiancee that the Batman has fallen
in love with.
Years
ago Wayne and Silver St. Cloud fell in love, but their relationship
ended when she realised that she couldn't cope with Wayne's
dangerous double life - but seeing him again, she realises
that maybe she could have coped after all.
Two-Face
and Scarecrow also make important appearances - with the Scarecrow
sending Batman on another gas fuelled trip to his past, while
Two-Face is over the moon that an undamaged clone of himself
has been created.
For
me, the highlight of this collection was the madhouse that
was the Joker's home - like a sick house of fun, where death
lurks around every corner.
If
you are a serious Bat nut, then you'll want to add this to
your collection. It's beautiful on so many levels.
