    I haven't read the issue, just skimmed through , but it appears a much younger Bruce is donning the Batsuit.

    In Batman 0, 6 years ago, Bruce is just becoming a vigilante and working on a disguise.

    Did the new Batman/Superman #1 disregard Bruce's past and make him Batman putting him a Batsuit years before he should have worn it?

    They met first time in Justice League, but they also met first in Batman/Superman, same thing. Greg Pak has it under control

    Was going to buy it. Was aware Bats/Supes first meeting was meant to be Justice League 1 but read somewhere Greg was aware and to wait and see as it will make sense later.

    The suit though... Bats shouldn't have been in it at the age he is.

    I wouldn't worry about it too much. Consider it the individual artist's interpretation/expression rather than a matter of continuity. Even Pre-N52 artists drew him differently or made his suit different shades. I like to think of it like Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns Batman - he's collected a bunch of different suits over the years, sticks to a primary suit, but changes it up if needed or if one suit is damaged.

    @dmreyn: Not what this thread is questioning if you read the OP.

    According to Batman 0 , Prior to 6 years ago, there was no Batman, no BatSuit. Why is young Bruce in a BatSuit at all in Batman/Superman #1?

    Zero year occurs before the events of Batman/Superman #1 which, in turn, occurs before the events of Justice League #1.

    Batman #0 occurs 6 years ago. Batman/Superman appears to be alot earlier than that? They look like teens.

    @impossibilly: That does make sense.

    The art in Batman/Superman 1 makes them look like their in their early teens. That's the cause of the confusion. They should at least look a bit older.

    Not really. I'm still waiting for that to be clarified.

    And that will be clarified. PaK has said in interviews he's aware of Justice League 1 and will be clarified in due time.

    Ok - it's shown in issue #3 that Clark/Superman is 22 years old - so no, they're not teens - it's just the artistic style. Bruce's age hasn't been revealed but I assume he's of a similar age at least, maybe a year or two older.

    I'm tipping given the introduction of Darkseid and also the fact WOnder WOman is in it, and a possible magical element to the story (taking place in an alternate universe) that there'll be a mind erasing type plot to wrap it all up. Oddly when Darkseid is revealed in #3, the Superman of that Earth (whatever that Earth is) hasn't heard of him - which strikes me as really out of place considering his history as a character and the supposed older much more experienced Clark and Bruce. It's also not the future versions since both Kent's are alive and in fact Bruce and Clark had met as children in this alternate universe they're in - anyone know with Earth it's supposed to be? I initially assumed Pre-52, but now thinking it's something else.

    I've blocked that out in case anyone hasn't read #3 yet or hasn't figured out what's going on.... or in the OP's case hasn't actually read it.

    Ahhhhhh - see that hadn't even occurred to me as I thought Superman, Batman and WW were dead in Earth-2, but now that you've said it - this is showing that story - of course... makes perfect sense now.
