www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=36266"Gary and I are tackling Batman from the beginning, before he knows what he’s doing and with a very different ultimate goal in mind,” Johns told The Source. "He’s never left Gotham. And our Gotham and the people in it are very gray. Our heroes unlikely. Our villains hidden. Our story is only beginning with volume one." Although he's written numerous ongoing series for DC, "Batman: Earth One" marks Johns' first original graphic novel. While art fromt he book thus far has only shown Bruce Wayne and Alfred, the writer previously told CBR News Dick Grayson will play a role in the upcoming story.
Artist Gary Frank also expounded on how "Batman: Earth One" begins the evolution of Batman as a hero. "It’s essentially the first piece of the jigsaw," the artist told The Source. "He’s not the Batman people know, but he might be one day. He’s certainly not yet a superhero. The fun is to watch him piece the persona together drawing on his experiences and the influences of those around him and, at this stage, the idea of becoming a ‘superhero’ hasn’t even entered his head."There's also a three-page preview in the link above. It does sound interesting that Bruce has never left Gotham. I guess he trained himself? It will certainly be different from the Bruce we're used to. I'm also digging Alfred's look; I wonder what he's saying in those pages.
