The addition of a fourth book in the series reverses the claims that “The Master Race” would be the finale. While it is too early to tell how this collaboration will be received by fans or how it will measure up to the previous two installments, it is certainly a departure from Miller’s traditional self-reliance. In keeping with the spirit of the first two works in the series, the unnamed fourth and final volume would be another Miller solo project. If the speculation is true, then “The Master Race” will be the only “Dark Knight” story not exclusively written and drawn by Miller, featuring writing by Azzarello and art by Klaus Janson and Andy Kubert. The story will continue until sometime in 2016, and Miller will only begin his work on the fourth volume after he has read Azzarello’s story in full. “The Master Race,” the series’ third installation, is an eight-issue miniseries slated to release issues and special editions twice monthly beginning Nov. “The Dark Knight” series, published by DC Comics, centers around an aging Batman who comes out of a government-imposed retirement in a dystopian 1980s. This announcement comes only a week before the release date of the first issue in “The Master Race.” However, Miller announced Tuesday that “The Master Race” would not be the end of the series, and that a fourth, currently unnamed installation is in the works. In April, Miller, the author of “Sin City” and “300,” announced that he and comic book writer Brian Azzarello were coproducing the third and final chapter of Miller’s “Dark Knight” comic series – “The Dark Knight III: The Master Race.” Almost 30 years have passed since Frank Miller first imbued Batman with his signature darkness in “The Dark Knight Returns,” yet his work still holds tremendous sway over the comic book world.
