About this Collection

This collection presents the 'Zero Year' storyline from the Batman comics, reimagining the Dark Knight's origin during a citywide crisis in Gotham. Written by Scott Snyder with art by Greg Capullo, it depicts a younger Bruce Wayne's first encounters with the Riddler and the Red Hood gang as he establishes his crime-fighting identity. The volume collects issues from the New 52 era, specifically Batman #21-#24 and #0, along with a story from Secret Origins #1.

In "Zero Year: Dark City," a young Superman pushes his limits by attempting to stop a hurricane threatening Gotham City—only to learn that some forces defy even his strength. Though he can't prevent the storm, his efforts lead to a crucial moment when he saves Lana Lang, marking a pivotal step in his journey. Written by Greg Pak and illustrated by Aaron Kuder, with colors by Arif Prianto and letters by Carlos M. Mangual, this issue captures a defining trial for the Man of Steel. The cover by Aaron Kuder captures the storm's intensity and the weight of his choice.
