Scott Snyder's Zero Year reimagines Batman's origin as the Riddler plunges Gotham into a savage blackout, testing whether a young Bruce Wayne can save his city from collapse. This modern take on the Dark Knight's beginnings explores how heroes are forged in catastrophe and chaos. Before the legend, before the gadgets, there was only will, determination, and a city crying out for salvation.
