The Zoo, Part One
IssueDescription
Bruce Wayne has none of the wealth, the manor, or the secret arsenal of the Batman readers know. He works a regular Gotham job, lives a small life, and watches the city slip further under a new criminal grip. When the Party Animals arrive and Black Mask makes his move, this stripped-down Bruce answers with a Batman built from scratch.

The best Batman debut in years. Snyder strips away the billionaire fantasy and finds something raw underneath. Dragotta's art is ferocious. Essential reading.

Snyder and Dragotta nailed the relaunch. The opening pages alone justified the hype — Bruce reframed as a working-class engineer in a world where Wayne wealth never happened. The Dragotta art is doing something different on every page. Already a generational #1.
