Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
by Frank Miller
Clearly inspiration for the recent Batman v. Superman flick, this story follows the aftermath of Batman's retirement, ten years after the fact. Gotham City is run by criminal gangs, but Two-Face and the Joker remain locked up at Arkham. But of course, Bruce Wayne feels the call to action that made him Batman in the first place, so he dons the cape and cowl and stumbles upon a new Robin, too.
This functions as a time capsule into late '80s culture as well, with pop psychology, Cold War fears, and attention-whoring media front and center.
The art is a little too rough for my taste, but the strength of the story more than makes up for it. This is a classic.
