New Images and Details Unveiled for Dark Knight III: The Master Race

IGN has just revealed the cover and solicitation text for the second issue of what might be DC’s most highly anticipated miniseries of the year: Dark Knight III: The Master Race. This mini obviously continues the story begun in Frank Miller’s seminal 1980’s masterpiece, The Dark Knight Returns. 

While almost no plot details have been revealed so far, the new information does at least confirm that a major player from The Dark Knight Returns will be making her return.

Published in both regular and oversized collector’s editions, Dark Knight III #2 will be out in December.
