ABSOLUTE BATMAN TP VOL 01 THE ZOO

Without the wealth, without the cave, he's still the Absolute Dark Knight!

Meet Batman as you've never seen him before, reimagined with a modern origin story from superstar creative team Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta! In the Absolute Universe, familiar heroes have been reinvented from the ground up with origin stories that completely reshape their abilities and circumstances while maintaining the core characteristics fans have loved for decades.

Bruce Wayne comes from nothing. He's not the scion of a wealthy empire in Gotham City--he's the son of a public school teacher who experienced the unimaginable horror of random gun violence as a child, changing the trajectory of his life forever. With no limitless resources, no billions to fund him, no mansion, and no butler to care for him, Bruce has shaped himself into an entirely different breed of Batman. He's equal parts brain and brawn, existing exclusively in the grittiest and most underserved parts of Gotham with no high society mask to fall back on.
