If any comic has a claim to have truly reinvigorated the genre then The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller (known for his excellent Sin City series and, previously, for his superb rendering of the blind superhero Daredevil) is probably the supreme contender. Batman represented all that was wrong in comics and Miller set himself a tough task taking on the camp crusader and turning this laughable, innocuous children's cartoon character into a hero for our times.

Miller went far beyond the call of duty. The Dark Knight is a success on every level. It keep the core elements of the Batman myth intact, with Robin, Alfred the butler, Commissioner Gordon and the old roster of villains, present yet brilliantly subverted. The artwork is fantastic--detailed, sometimes claustrophobic, psychotic. It's a great story: Gotham City is a hell on earth, streetgangs roam but there are no heroes. Decay is ubiquitous. Where is a hero to save Gotham? It is 10 years since the last recorded sighting of the Batman. And things have gotten worse. Bruce Wayne is close to being a broken man but something is keeping him sane: the need to see change and the belief that he can orchestrate some of that change. Batman is back. The Dark Knight has returned. --Mark Thwaite.
