So, is that Alfred or Henry Ducard?

Probably Alfred, right? Ducard didn't come along until later I think?

Kid Bruce looks a lot like Frank's kid Clark. The version that looks a lot like Chris Reeve

I really like Frank's art but anyone else ever notice everyone he draws looks like Christopher Reeves?

@bathead I totally agree, but I guess its better than him drawing a young Val Kilmer

Frank scored a lot of points with me with his Superman work. Reeve IS the greatest onscreen superhero ever, IMO

Well, after Condorman that is ;)

This looks fantastic! I wonder if they will end up creating an Earth 1 universe and cover it in graphic novel form only. This would probably lead to really great stories and even more unique takes on DC characters.

Sam Elliot is Alfred? "Beef, Master Bruce. It's what for dinner."

Gary Frank is easily the most expressive artist in superhero comics.

Eh Bat suit looks ok. Not really liking the bat symbol to be honest. I really like the Batman Inc. suit.

Over all art looks great, suit design kinda blah

This is not the suit from the preview art, the one that you can get as a skin for Arkham City. Don't worry, the suit will get better.
I'm kind of hoping we do get a few recognisable villians as well as the obligatory new one. To use the Ra's/Ducard blend, from Begins would be cool. And there are plenty of Arkham doctors that could cameo (Crane, Strange, Quinnzel, etc.), not to mention DA Harvey Dent.

Looks great (love that last preview page in particular), and Gary Frank is the biggest reason why I should read this. Spectacular artist, one of my favorite today.
