Batman and Geoff Johns? Yes please! 0

Batman: Earth One #1 - Batman: Earth One Volume One by wolverine0628 on August 25, 2012

This is a really cool, brand-new take on Batman's origin story. Although it's technically set in a different dimension, even casual fans will know most of the characters, and be able to follow the story easily. That being said, I want to warn parents that this book isn't meant for kids.

Geoff Jones and Gary Frank team up and make an awesome story. The story of Batman is the same, but with new changes too. His father was running for mayor and asked Alfred to help keep them safe, but got killed. Alfred was different from his other versions and I liked this one a lot because he was the one who trained him. The enemies like Mayor Cobblepot, and The Birthday boy were great and were tough foes. We also saw how Jim Gordon was and why he was acting the way he was. The story was amazing...

Something a little different in a good way 0

Batman: Earth One #1 - Batman: Earth One Volume One by marquiselerue on July 23, 2012

I thought this was an awesome revamp of the origin of Batman. It doesn't change the main story but it does kind of put a twist on the roles of the players. I would have never guessed who the mayor was but after finding out a lot of things make sense. I like Alfred's new role, and I like how they showed Gordon's transformation as well as Bullocks', they kind of switch roles in a way. Overall I enjoyed the story....
