Now that team is back with a new collection that pits the Dark Knight against the most famous and feared members of his Rogues Gallery, including The Joker and Two-Face.

From Booklist:
Englehart and Rogers' mid-1970s stint on Batman was the basis for the 1989 film Batman, the one with Jack Nicholson, and is fondly remembered by fans. They reunite for a new story, reprising what made their fan favorite so popular: an updating of primal elements of the Batman legend. They revisit the tragic murder of young Bruce Wayne's parents; field revitalized versions of Joker, Two-Face, and Scarecrow; and revive Silver St. Cloud, the most memorable of Wayne's many girlfriends. As the new story opens, Silver is engaged to a gubernatorial candidate whose campaign is derailed by a sudden dark horse: Joker, whose slogan is "Vote for me or I'll kill you." The Englehart-(Marshall) Rogers approach hasn't changed much. Writer Englehart presents a more human version of the Dark Knight than has been seen recently, and Rogers' architecturally precise illustration style has loosened up a bit. Their now old-school version is refreshing after the morbidly grim realizations of Batman during the years since their first go-round with him. Gordon Flagg
