Reviews
"Action, adventure, suspense and surprise for readers of all levels of familiarity with the Caped Crusader."-COMIC BOOK RESOURCES
"Batman: Earth One Vol. 2 is a showcase for the potential this graphic novel imprint still holds. It's not simply about streamlining the character, but making his world more reflective of our own and tracing Bruce Wayne's long, painful road towards truly becoming the Dark Knight. Geoff Johns' writing is adept at fleshing out that journey, while Gary Frank brings this Gotham City to life like only he can."-IGN
"Johns and Frank are able to revitalize a concept that nobody knew needed to be revitalized, breathing new life into a 75 year-old pop culture icon."-PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
