The Story<\/h2>\n

THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS CONTINUES! There’s a brand-new police commissioner in Gotham City, and she’s determined to arrest the Batman. The GCPD might be the least of the Dark Knight’s worries, though, as his return to the spotlight has drawn the attention of a now government-sanctioned Man of Steel, while Arkham Asylum’s most infamous inmate, the Joker, has prepared to welcome back his favorite adversary with a horrific attack on live TV!<\/p>\n
