Pat the Book Goblin  | 687 comments Crime runs rampant in the streets, and the man who was Batman is still tortured by the memories of his parents' murders. As civil society crumbles around him, Bruce Wayne's long-suppressed vigilante side finally breaks free of its self-imposed shackles.

The Dark Knight returns in a blaze of fury, taking on a whole new generation of criminals and matching their level of violence. He is soon joined by this generation's Robin—a girl named Carrie Kelley, who proves to be just as invaluable as her predecessors.

But can Batman and Robin deal with the threat posed by their deadliest enemies, after years of incarceration have made them into perfect psychopaths? And more important, can anyone survive the coming fallout of an undeclared war between the superpowers—or a clash of what were once the world's greatest superheroes?


Pat the Book Goblin  | 687 comments Check the Hoopla and OverDrive apps for a copy!

For those of you who don't know, Hoopla and OverDrive are library apps where you can borrow ebooks, audiobooks, and graphic novels as if you were picking them out at a library (except they are on your iPhone, Kindle/Nook, or iPad).

ENJOY!!!

Kathy E | 2345 comments I enjoyed the graphic novel Batman: The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller. It takes place in the future where Batman battles mutants. I read this as an ebook and I could zoom into each panel on a page.

Kathy that sounds like a nice perk to be able to zoom.

Sometimes I swear I need a magnifier as big as the books. One of my Elizabeth von Arnim books must be a font 8!

Kathy E | 2345 comments Lesle, the magnification of text is one of the reasons I read ebooks. Usually I like physical books best, but when the font is too tiny, give me an ebook.
