![]() ![]() The story then doesn't feature any of the typical villains of his world – or at least not as villains. Yes, despite this being set very much in the modern day (hi-tech here and there, HUDs in cars, Robocop-styled police robots) this is Bruce Wayne before he trains himself up to become Batman. Can he get close to one of them and get the truth of their schemes, or will the manipulative Madeleine be a step too far for the young do-gooder? There he learns of some other people who also allege charitable intent – the Nightwalkers, a gang who steal any ten-figure bank account contents they can, and murder the owner. But one night, when he speeds off in his posh new car in pursuit of a criminal, he goes too far as far as the authorities are concerned, and gets given the most unlikely stretch of community service instead – cleaning in the home for violent criminals that is Arkham Asylum. Feeling rather stuck with the legacy he's inherited from his murdered parents, he wants to do charitable deeds. The young man called Bruce Wayne is a very noticeable one – he can hardly go anywhere without people – bystanders, paparazzi, and suchlike – reminding him he's a billionaire at the age of eighteen. ![]() Summary: Really strong visuals help disguise the story's paucity of action, in this all-ages comic concerning the man who will be Batman – and the young woman prisoner who might or might not want to rob and murder him. ![]()
