I wish I could give Zero Year a better rating...but I just can't. The Arc starts on a pretty dull note; yet another re-telling of Batman's origin story? No thanks, I've seen it a hundred times before. The best moments of the first half are all Jim Gordon and his adjustment to Gotham City.However,...
DC has, through their New 52 line, given us a few fresh stories about the superheroes whom we worship/cherish.

Am I missing something here? Sure the art is great, but the story, continued from the first volume, continues to be ridiculous. First the Court of Owls has apparently been around Gotham for generations, and neither Batman nor Bruce Wayne had come across any sign of them before. Now we learn that ...
