Be sure to click on the link below to head on over to the site where you will be able to check out a revealing interview about the series with writer Geoff Johns.

• From GEOFF JOHNS and GARY FRANK, the acclaimed team behind SUPERMAN: SECRET ORIGIN and the SHAZAM! stories in JUSTICE LEAGUE!

• In this all new take on the Batman mythos, Bruce Wayne is on the hunt for his parents' killer. His target? The Mayor of Gotham City!

I read that in this Bruce has a brother who witnessed their parents death and is tramatized by it as well.

Not a fan at all of Gary Frank's artwork. Wish they would have used Shane Davis for this

Did really enjoy Earth One Superman regardless of the poor mans Lobo and rushed ending, this looks to be worth a pick up.

"gives new insight into BRUCE WAYNE'S transformation into BATMAN and his first year as THE DARK KNIGHT. "

So it's basically Batman: Year One?

It's Gary Frank. That's enough to make me buy this. Sure enough, Johns can also nail the story, though.

I'm loving the art for this and the story sounds interesting.

Going by the description and panels, I think Alfred will almost act as an antagonist in this.

He's going to do whatever it takes to make sure Bruce Wayne is safe i.e. doing his best to prevent Bruce from becoming Batman.

Can't wait for this, loved Superman Earth1. I hope they make a whole series out of Earth1 and keep it in graphic novel format.
