Batman Zero Year begins this week! Scott Snyder reveals the early career of Bruce Wayne becoming the Batman in The New 52.

 

“He becomes Batman pretty early in this,” Snyder tells COMIC BOOK RESOURCES , “You’ll see him as Batman not too far in. So in terms of that origin, that’s part of it. But part of this is the first big adventure he had as Batman. It’s not just how Bruce becomes Batman. That’s certainly a big part of ‘Zero Year’ at the beginning, but it’s also about how the city changes for him. It’s about how he becomes its hero. What does that mean? And what kind of threat is it going to throw at him to challenge him and make sure he’s worthy of that?”
