He followed it up with Batman: Year One which was a 4 issue mini-series that "reset" the clock and retold the origin story. Again, awesome work that aided in the revitalization. Not as violent as you may think. Miller's strength lies (IMO) in using dialogue to create character.

And... if all goes well... the new 'Batman Begins' film should be very close to the tone of 'Batman: Year One'. (fingers crossed) I'm looking forward to it at least.

IMHO its a great read and you can still find it around generally at a decent price.

What did you think of DK II?
