Top British writer Andy Diggle lends his talents to Batman in a story showcasing Batman's first encounter with Lex Luther. The story gets off on the wrong foot by setting this confrontation very early in batman's career.
Setting stories during the few months following the events of Year One has become quite cliche'd and is done here without reason. Setting this tale a few years ahead would have worked better with other stories set in that period and would have avoided trampling over other ... Read More

Andy Diggle has written some of my favorite stories, among them Silent Dragon and Planet Heist. After reading and thoroughly enjoying Heist, which played out like a whodunit, the thought occurred to me that he would make an excellent choice for a Batman tale. Lo and behold, my wish came true. Unfortunately, reality doesn't always live up to one's dreams, or in this case, Diggle's stellar standards.

I enjoyed this tale of early Batman. The story has Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor's companies vying for a defense contract to construct robot super-soldiers. When one of Wayne's giant robots goes amok and appears to try to kill Luthor, Captain Jim Gordon of the GCPD is on the case. Batman appears and tries to get to the bottom of the conspiracy and makes good use of his many gadgets. It shows how Batman/Bruce Wayne comes to acquire the Batplane. The story comes down to a final duel with Batman and Luthor and ... Read More
