"Another Batman origin, but unlike any before"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This novel is a fantastic read for any and all Batman Fans. While the Caped Crusader' s origin is nothing new, this is set in a totally different world. Taking characters we know and love, and changing them just enough to keep you guessing. It's Batman set in a realistic world. It feels like it could be any city in the world if things got just s little out of hand, and one man is willing to step up to defend s tragedy in his own life. Fantastic.

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.
