For a re-imagined EARTH...
It's certainly been a long time coming, more than 3 years since the project was announced BATMAN EARTH ONE finally hits the FROG shelves this week...
A lot has happened in those three years with BATMAN, INC has started, SCOTT SNYDER has been stamping his authority all over the character and the whole NEW52 reboot to name but a few...
So writer and one of DC's top bananas GEOFF JOHNS and artist GARY FRANK (the team behind SUPERMAN SECRET ORIGIN) have their work cut out...
But if the noises coming out of DC are anything to go by they could be on the right path...
You see they are attacking it by looking at Bruce Wayne at the beginning of his crimefighting life, with BATMAN just starting out, a stripped back BAT with no cool BAT-MOBILE, just a regular mobile with tinted windows, we're not going to see loads of costumed goons or cool gadgets... At least ones that work...
What we are being promised is a human story about a guy who's just starting out and making lots of mistakes along the way...
Sound a bit like YEAR ONE? In my mind that can be no bad thing!.. But they are promising a move away from that too with changes to many of the supporting BAT-cast including Alfred and Jim Gordon...
