When DC first announced Scott Snyder would travel back in time to examine the beginnings of Bruce Wayne's transformation into Batman, it was met by some fans with a lukewarm response. After all, fans have been treated over and over again to the tragic tale of Bruce's inaugural year many times recently from Christopher Nolan, Grant Morrison, Geoff Johns and Arkham Origins. What could Scott Snyder possibly have to add to Batman's well-known origin? Not only has Zero Year so far been a fantastic story, Snyder has found new layers to unfold in Batman's formative year, also putting new spins on familiar elements of the mythos. Snyder and artist Greg Capullo have completely reinvigorated the title with a tremendous amount of energy and compelling story-telling; not an easy task to accomplish coming off their Death of the Family epic. With the third and final arc of Zero Year, titled Savage City, due in just a short couple of weeks, fans are more than eager to see how Batman emerges from his battle with The Riddler as Gotham City's true protector. Let's look at the most awesome moments of Zero Year so far and relive the scenes which make Batman DC's greatest superhero.
