Snyder Revisits Batman's Origin In Zero Year

Frank Miller's take on the origin of Bruce Wayne in Year One is considered essential reading material for any Batman fan or comic fan in general. It has inspired countless other stories after it, a recently released animated feature, and even the basis for Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins. Now 26 years later, DC is finally taking some major steps in giving fans and new readers an origin that will fit within the new 52.

No surprise here that Scott Snyder will be the one to bring the updated tale as he has been the #1 Batman writer since his first appearance with the character back in Batman #871. Snyder brought about the clever history of Gotham with a secret society called the Court of Owls and recently redefined the long standing Batman/Joker feud with Death of the Family.

Comic Book Resources has an exclusive video with the writer who promises not to copy Year One word for word and that he and his collaborator Greg Capullo definitely have some interesting things for fans who come aboard.
