History

In the 1970s and 1980s, a conscious effort was made to return Batman to his darker roots. With writers like Denny O’Neil, Batman became more of a detective and faced more grounded, urban crime stories. This era also explored Batman’s psychology more deeply, delving into the trauma that drives him. The 1970s saw the introduction of significant villains like Ra’s al Ghul and the reimagining of the Joker as a more sinister threat. Frank Miller’s influential works “The Dark Knight Returns” (1986) and “Batman: Year One” (1987) redefined Batman as a gritty, complex antihero for a new generation.
