This "Zero Year" story tackles such deep topics as: why would anyone live in Gotham City? And how does Bruce Wayne keep his identity a secret?
The answers are surprisingly chatty for the modern world of comics, where less dialogue is more - but it's well-crafted and moving.
The double-sized issue is loaded with some fun touchstones (not the least of which is a recreation of the cover to Batman's first appearance).
The art by Greg Capullo is terrific - dynamic, emotional, dramatic and action-packed.
Quite a few of the events included here will be very familiar to long-time readers, but it's all presented in a fresh, modern style that brings the classic tale up to modern storytelling standards.
Excellent work all around!
