About this Collection

This collection presents the 'Zero Year' storyline from the Batman comics, reimagining the Dark Knight's origin during a time of chaos in Gotham City. It includes issues from the New 52 era, showcasing a younger Bruce Wayne's first encounters with iconic villains and his early struggles to establish his presence as Batman. The volume is part of the broader 'Zero Hour' event, tying into DC's timeline restructuring.

In "The Night Before Zero," Batman and Robin navigate a fractured Gotham where timelines collide, bringing them face-to-face with a living, active Batgirl—Barbara Gordon—determined to avenge her father, James Gordon, while a newly appointed Harvey Dent leads a police force now hunting them. Written by Doug Moench and illustrated by Mike Manley, with inks by Joe Rubinstein and colors by Adrienne Roy, this pivotal issue blends tension and legacy in a world where past and present blur. The cover by Graham Nolan and Scott Hanna captures the moment’s eerie, high-stakes atmosphere.
