Batman [DC Comics]

Feel free to discuss all Batman comics/series -- past, present and future -- in this thread. Enjoy!

Spoiler

After two highly acclaimed story arcs with Court of Owls and Death of the Family, Batman creative team Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo are back for yet another sprawling epic: Batman: Zero Year.

The story is going to span 11 issues over the course of Batman, beginning in June's Batman #21. Presumably tying into the stuff we glimpsed way back in Batman #0, the story will be showing us untold details of Bruce Wayne's earliest days as the Dark Knight.

Snyder told the AP, “It’s not ‘let’s redo the origin.’ It’s time for a new story showing how Batman became who he is in the New 52. We tried to preserve as much of Batman’s history as we could and keep what we could of this history intact. It’s ‘The Zero Year,’ the one that no one has told the story of before. We see how Bruce became the Batman, built the cave, faced off with his first super villain … It’s time for a new story showing how Batman became who he is in The New 52. It builds up the mythology."

The next Batman 'event' is coming and, surprisingly, we don't know a whole lot about it. Batman: Zero Year is said to be an origin of sorts for Batman. While we do know about that one defining moment in Crime Alley and have seen a few random moments in Bruce Wayne's life before we became a crimefighter, we don't exactly know what happened right before he actually put on a costume. DC has decided to give us that story and put Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo on the job.

Hey guys, So it turns out the 'Button' cover for Batman #21 isn't being released in Europe because someone other than DC owns the rights to the Watchmen button and there's some legal madness around it. Same for the upcoming Flash #21.

Would anyone be able to get me a copy of both Batman #21 and Flash #21 with the Lenticular covers and send them to me in London (if it's still available, otherwise just Flash #21 Lenti)?

I will be back tomorrow for Flash #21 and if I see Batman #21, I will get both. PM me for details. @jitstark

Hey @kryptonite what did you think of The Button crossover as a whole? I thought it was well written and it;d be interesting to see where Batman goes from here. Can't wait until Nov now!

Love the storyline. It seems like a preview of bigger things to come. Sort of like a teaser with a lot of un-resolved mysteries. Looking forward to the Doomsday clock later this year.
