![]() ![]() ![]() As the canonical in-continuity origin of Batman though, I’m not convinced. If this was the beginnings of an elseworlds like Batman Earth One then I’d be on board. Zero Year is a compelling and cohesive narrative and different enough to what’s come before to be worth reading. Snyder had his own separate vision for Batman’s first year though, one interwoven with countless references to other takes and iterations of Batman to prove his Bat-love credentials, and titled Zero Year - a name similar enough to Year One to show the two texts had the same mission statement, but different enough to let this story stand on its own two feet and be recognised as something new. This meant overwriting and replacing Frank Miller’s much loved Batman Year One. Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s Batman run was proving such a success that the two felt able to craft their own new take on Batman’s origin that would be treated as the definitive origin story for the rebooted DC Universe of the New 52. ![]()
