The Dark Knight
The World's Greatest Detective
The Dark Knight is a character unlike any other in our roster. Where other heroes rely on warmth and friendliness, the Dark Knight commands with authority, intelligence and a brooding intensity that children find utterly compelling. This is the hero for children who respect seriousness, who respond to complexity, and who want to feel truly recruited into something important rather than simply entertained. The Dark Knight's appearances create a unique atmosphere of focused awe.
