Batman: Earth One

I bought this book based on some good review and I was a little sceptical. I Have read the origin of Batman almost as much I have read the origin of Superman. But in both book and film form this is the best. it even surpassed the wonderful Batman: Year One. The plot is excellent, it has it all. Great characterisation, great action and great suspense. It does that tremendously hard thing, reinventing character much beloved without betraying the them and still creating something fresh and exciting. Gary Franks art is some of the best I have ever seen, absolutely beautiful. Stunning in every aspect. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Truly wonderful stuff. Buy now! And is it just me but doesn't a major character bear more than a passing resemblance to Christian Bale? And not the one you would expect? Hmm.

Wasn't sure what to expect, but was not disappointed. Sat down and intended to have a casual flip through to see what I'd bought, but ended reading the whole thing in one hit as I couldn't put it down. Very satisfying story, good twists on accepted origin story, different enough to Year One, though it draws upon that heavily in places (no bad thing) and really nice art. Also, this is a *very* nice hardcover to handle, feels very solid and high quality and the contents warrant it. This one will get re-read. It's not Year One or The Killing Joke or TDKR, but it stands up pretty well in their company.

Loved itThe bats back again with a few new twists.Well recreated, great artwork and great work all round on a well created lead in story to a new take on Gotham's finest.Bring book 2 to the kindle soon please.

I'm not sure how many times the story of the genesis of Batman has been told but here is another variant. To be honest I found Geoff Johns' script to be enjoyable but nothing spectacular (a little macabre perhaps). It is when it is coupled with Gary Frank's artwork that it is raised out of the ordinary; it definitely warrants five stars.

Being a huge fan of Comic books, I decided I should really start reading Batman Comics, so I thought why not start from the begining.When i first picked up this comic book, i knew i was going to like it, but boy 'o' boy was i wrong....I absolutely loved it, the art work is extraodinary, the story line is brilliant, i think i read the book in less the half an hour without putting it down. By far the best comic i have ever read. Also the ending of this comic will leave you dieing to read more!Overall i am very satisfied with this product, arrived in about 3 days and was brilliant!

googling and amazon searches that you have a huge amount of Batman types from standard and dark knight through to incorporated and so on. Whilst these pretty much all link together in the same universe, earth one doesn't. Like the earth 2 this is an alternative universe imagining of the general story so expect some similar and some huge differences to the standard. So, is it good? definitely. Is it printed/bound well? Yes, standard DC strong glossy interior with a hard cover, the design is actually printed onto the hard cover so which is different but nice. I would strongly recommend not just this book but all the other Batman ones which I can vouch for.As to writing, it is very well produced. Rather than being split into issues it is just one big story which flows from start to finish in such an enthralling way that you can't put it down. I read volumes 1-2 in the same afternoon as I just wanted to know what was going to happen. I am not sure when volume 3 and on wards will come out, or if there will be but fingers crossed.

Debated on whether or not to give 5 stars but... In the end... Read the book in one take. Captivating, dark and emotional even... Worth a read, I would say.

The comic is great, the way they reviewed Batman's birth and past is something different. A bit surprised about this version of Alfred though... Doesn't really look like the classic English butler he use to be in other Batman's version I remember, although I kind of lost track for many years. Being a graphic novel I was expecting a massive tome (like some Marvel's as "Planet Hulk" or "Civil War"), but this give me more excitement in buy the 2nd volume.

Bought it for my nephew. Good story. He finished it in one sitting and liked it very much.

Good quality product overall with a nice story and art.

No more words to say...

Grande storia, per chi è un principiante di fumetti ed è per chi vuole leggere qualcosa di gajardo anche se già navigato

Una lectura totalmente disfrutable, que al principio te hace cuestionar cómo seguirá avanzando y con un final que te hace emocionarte enormemente. Buena alteración de algunos personajes pero manteniendo la esencia. El arte de Gary Frank es de mis favoritos y aquí no decepciona.
