Bruce Wayne: Batman Appreciation 2020

[Batman Begins 2005]

We can't forget the head of the Bat-Family and all the heroes he's influenced. Batman, to me the greatest comic book hero of all-time who turned 80 last year.

Happy New Year to the Caped Crusader .

The earliest point I can recall of his life was in The Court of Owls backup story. He was 3 years old, being taken care of by Martha who was pregnant with Thomas Jr. and Jarvis Pennyworth until The Court sent a Talon to cause an accident at the corner of Lincoln and March street because she's been fighting their corrupt Mayor, and she lost the baby.

Luckily Bruce was safe with Jarvis at the Manor.

Then at 4 or 5 years old, he fell through the well into the cave. Around the same time, Alfred started working in the Manor, since he didn't receive Jarvis's letter warning him about The Court. Jarvis was assassinated and the letter burned. His cause of death never solved until Batman uncovered The Court of Owls and found his name among the list in their Labyrinth.

Anyone know anything earlier please share.

Happy New Year to the GOAT. May 2020 bring great things for my favorite superhero of them all.

That page from Year One is the definitive, platonic ideal of Batman in my mind.

I love when it is emphasized that "Batman" is a performance and I love seeing when he prepares the "lights" and "stage" for his "show"

I do as well. For me, Batman: Year One is still the best Batman book ever.

Agreed. I love year one so much. It's head and shoulders above everything Batman I love as well
