Series artist Chris Burnham recalls his favorite visual moments of the series:
“One good one that’s leaping to mind is the page in #6 where the Heretic is in the stairway with a giant boulder tied to the nooses around all those hobos’ necks.

Members of the Batman family will go to Zero Year. DC Comics Editor Bob Harras share a first look at the teen who will become Batgirl.
“This fall, Barbara Gordon will be getting her own Zero Year makeover. Around fifteen or sixteen-years-old at the time of her tie-in issue, Barbara Gordon is forced to protect her brother and homestead in anticipation of the upcoming storm. It’s here that she’ll not only be forced to evaluate what “home” really means to her, but where she’ll realize for the first time that she has the potential to be a hero in her own right. Guest-written by Marguerite Bennett and featuring art by Fernando Pasarin and Jonathan Glapion, Batgirl’s Zero Year tie-in issue flies into stores later this year. Above, check out cover artist Alex Garner’s awesome design for Babs’ Zero Year look.”

Now that we know the Man of Steel will meet The Dark Knight on the big screen in 2015 I thought it was time to revise and re-share who should be the next actor to play Batman.
The Warner Brothers presentation at San Diego Comic Con used a classic quote from Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns:
“I want you to remember, Clark, in all the years to come, in all your most private moments, I want you to remember my hand at your throat. I want you to remember the one man who beat you.”
Director Zach Snyder said they’re not making the classic graphic novel into a movie “but it will help us tell you something.”
Looks like Superman vs. Batman is on!
