Publisher Description
A #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Batman is not a hero. He is just a man. Fallible, vulnerable, and angry. In a Gotham City where friend and foe are indistinguishable, Bruce Wayne's path toward becoming the Dark Knight is riddled with more obstacles than ever before. Focused on punishing his parents’ true killers, and the corrupt police that allowed them to go free, Bruce Wayne's thirst for vengeance fuels his mad crusade and no one, not even Alfred, can stop him. In the tradition of the #1 New York Times bestselling Superman: Earth One, writer Geoff Johns and artist Gary Frank re-imagine a new mythology for the Dark Knight, where the familiar is no longer the expected in this long-awaited original graphic novel from DC Comics.
Customer Reviews
A nice take on Batman’s earlier days.
Sure Batman: Earth One isn’t canon to the main DC Universe, but it’s still an earnest reflection of its central character and his notorious city.
For a dedicated graphic novel, this book gets all the necessary stuff for a blockbuster comic book right: the staging, the composition, the dialogue that has enough subtext for the average reader to understand, and being a newer take on a tried-and-true origin story as Batman’s beginnings.
Earth One has become something of a blossoming property for DC Comics, and hopefully the other books to come can work the same magic as this one.
