Geoff Johns will be writing a new, on-going graphic novel series, to be released twice yearly as part of the new DC: EARTH ONE launch. Geoff gets to go anywhere and do anything he pleases with Batman in a fresh continuity. Here is artist Gary Frank's renderings for Batman & Alfred.   |

Why does Alfred look like Bill from Left 4 Dead?

I thought Nightwing was Batman now Different universe. But, its Geoff Johns, so things that happened in the past 10-20 years don't exist for him anyway |

Alfred looks like Sean Connery. "If Q was here, Bruce, we'd be able to fit your gadgets inside a cell phone,so can get a belt that holds your pants up!"
Also, wasn't the All Star series suppose to be the Year One stuff?

wasnt that the idea of Elseworlds? Elseworlds was a little different as All-Star was meant to be a way to showcase the classical aspects of the titicular character (which Earth 1 sounds to do as well). This of them as constricted Elseworlds, where you weren't given full freedom. Even all the freedom Geoff or JMS claim to have, they can't, say, make it so Superman was a member of the Metal Men because he was build by Dr. Magnus for love making. Or have Batman actually be the joker brutally killing people. And he knows it the whole time. Elseworlds could be crazy (even All-Star Batman still was a pretty basic version of the character) I'm guessing Earth 1 will be more similar to the recent line. |

ConneryAlfred has me amused.
Geoff brought Bart back from the grave, AND Max from Limbo, so he's built up equity with me again.
He should never write Deathstroke though. Ever.

All I can say is that I am so happy they've brought back and blue and grey with yellow bat sheild emblem! That has always been Batman's best look, IMO!

I like the idea it's released in graphic novel format.
Instead of monthly, we get 2 a year. Different way to tell a story I suppose.
