TRADE PAPERBACK DISCUSSION
ABSOLUTE BATMAN VOLUME 1: The Zoo
Writer: Scot Snyder
Artist: Nick Dragotta
Publisher: DC Comics
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 he 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, one that is equal parts brain and brawn, who exists exclusively in the grittiest and most underserved parts of Gotham with no high society mask to fall back on.
