I heart Batman. I heart Scott Snyder. I've cried, gasped and laughed my way through a lot of the Batman mythology. However, I am not the kid that grew up loving comic books and knowing every little thing about Batman. This origin story helped me fill in some pieces of the puzzle I hadn't figured out yet. For that alone, it gets 4 stars.

really nice art and style, a new tale about the origins of batman in a more modern univers

This could have easily been added to the first zero year volume but for some reason they didn't and we get to read it after zero year whatever.
its a nice entry to read zero year if you ask me, even though it might appear to have some inconsistencies specially the fact that bruce wayne is supposed to hate gordon at first in zero year.
anyway i read so much batman today and i am thinking of reading even more.
its a happy day for me when i read so much and am enjoying myself <3
the follow up story is a nice story made me know i don't know nothing of the bat family they were all in the story and i had to pull up a page detailing the current bat family to know which of them is who.
but its a great origin story for all 4 kids.

Un buen inicio, explicando alguna que otra cosa y preparandome para el #1, espero que los personajes que no sé cuales son, los expliquen más adelante.
Para ser el primer cómic que leo, es algo nuevo y lioso pero me acostumbraré.

so good! I just watched BvS and I was in the mood to read the comic and picked this up. Plus the first look of dick, jason, and tim here!

Oh this looks like a good start to the series! Love the art style and the characters. I can tell they are setting this up to be great

Well, it sure was nice to see all of those familiar faces again.

(And can we talk about the fact that my very first "book" read in 2014 is actually this? Plus it came at the end of February.)

I guess I will refrain from mentioning the glaring absence of characters like Cassandra Cain and Helena Bertinelli and focus on what I was given. Snyder's take of Bruce's beginnings as Batman had potential, but I felt like it felt a little flat by the end of it, but the art was really good as usual, so I guess there's that. I found the back-up story of the Robins and the one Batgirl DC allows to exist significantly more enjoyable, though I can't say I'm a fan of the way Tim continues to be portrayed in the reboot. Good thing I never really thought of myself as a Tim Drake fan.
