IGN said:
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.

thats the one i bought, the joe mad 3 unsigned, (sigs arent all that important to me unless in person and i can dictate where they get signed at as I appreciate the art of the comics themselves more to be honest) ie. using a window box can dictate where one is signed. I did however get just the middle (main) frank cho one and opted for the sig.



anyways, they are running this Batman 50 into the ground lol with the variants. Any thoughts on which one becomes the coveted one over the years? I'm guessing the Jim Lee sketch variant, the jim lee reg colors first printing, and then all else follow just based on personal tastes... in which case some of the triptychs.

and im thinking they are aiming for 50 variants to hit Batman 50. ha

Honestly, if they keep releasing variants, this thing won't be worth anything in a few years. Oversaturating the market is never a good thing. Just look at Death of Superman and Jim Lee's X-Men #1. Those things were so hot during their release and now you can buy them for not much more than the original cover price. Some of these variants will likely inflate, but I doubt it'll be for long. The Jim Lee sketch is probably the most likely to be worth something since it's a 1:100 variant.
