  • Batman: Zero Year
rdfs:comment
  • "Zero Year" is a year long comic book crossover event published by DC Comics that began in June 2013. The series is written by Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV with artwork by Greg Capullo, Danny Miki, and Rafael Albuquerque. The story is intended to redefine Batman's origin in The New 52 and is not a retelling of other origin tales such as "Batman: Year One" but is rather a fresh take on the Dark Knight's background. The story does, however, incorporate several elements from "Batman: Year One", such as Bruce Wayne's multi-year absence and his first attempts at vigilantism.

  • "Zero Year" is a year long comic book crossover event published by DC Comics that began in June 2013. The series is written by Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV with artwork by Greg Capullo, Danny Miki, and Rafael Albuquerque. The story is intended to redefine Batman's origin in The New 52 and is not a retelling of other origin tales such as "Batman: Year One" but is rather a fresh take on the Dark Knight's background. The story does, however, incorporate several elements from "Batman: Year One", such as Bruce Wayne's multi-year absence and his first attempts at vigilantism. Initially conceptualized as a Batman storyline, it was announced that in November 2013, various titles would tie in directly to the "Zero Year" story line. Writers of various titles in The New 52 were given the option of writing a tie-in to the storyline, which would include their connections to Gotham City and first encounter with Batman. Snyder announced in December 2013 that issue 28 would no longer be a part of the event, as he had written a lot of material that felt "too cramped" and extending the issue at this point would not give Capullo ample time to properly draw the new scenes. Thus, the original story from issue 28 was moved to issue 29, with issue 28 becoming a preview issue to the future storyline in Batman and the weekly, Batman Eternal. Issue 28 was written by Snyder and Tynion, with Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs providing the artwork.
