There once was a shining city on the water, a home for families, hope, and prosperity. It was Gotham, and it was glorious. The story of its fall from grace, the legend that would birth the Bat, has remained untold for 80 years. That’s about to change. Superstar creators Tom King and Phil Hester team up for the first time to tell the definitive origin of Gotham City: how it became the cesspool of violence and corruption it is today, how it harbored and then unleashed the sin that led to the rise of the Dark Knight. Two generations before Batman, private investigator Slam Bradley gets tangled in the kidnapping of the century as the infant Wayne heir disappears in the night…and so begins a brutal, hard-boiled, epic tale of a man living on the edge and a city about to burn. Collecting Gotham City Year One #1-6.

Tom King lo dice chiaramente nella sua prefazione al volume: è lecito aggiornare i miti. Quando George Orwell scrisse La fattoria degli animali, a neanche metà del Ventesimo secolo, voleva evidenziare come il mondo fosse cambiato rispetto alle logiche politiche dell’Ottocento, e quali pericoli si nascondessero nelle politiche più estreme all’interno dei sistemi democratici. Ottant’anni dopo Tom King, uno degli sceneggiatori più apprezzato d’America, aiutato dal disegnatore Peter Gross e dalla colorista Tamra Bonvillain, attualizza la metafora di Orwell per renderla attuale, pertinente nel tempo confuso e pericoloso che stiamo vivendo. La storia del rifugio, di Madame Fifi, di Lucky, Titan e delle libere elezioni tra gli animali è la nostra storia. Il loro pericolo è quello all’ombra del quale ci risvegliamo ogni mattina. E questo fumetto è qualcosa che tutti dovrebbero leggere, per tornare a dire ad alta voce che le cose assurde sono assurde.

He’s the one man who broke the Bat. He rules the island prison that once held him captive with an iron fist. He is Bane, and he has something-or someone-that Batman needs. And Batman will risk a suicide mission to take it, or them, from him. But to infiltrate the stronghold of a criminal genius, the Dark Knight will need to raise his own army of criminals. From the bowels of Arkham Asylum, he’ll select an elite squad of the craziest, deadliest, most dangerous villains alive-including Catwoman, the one woman in the world who knows him best, despite the blood on her claws. But Batman’s makeshift Suicide Squad is every bit as unstable as the real deal. As lust, addiction, insanity and betrayal take their toll on his team, not everyone will make it out of Bane’s fortress alive and unbroken… New York Times best-selling writer Tom King (THE OMEGA MEN) continues his groundbreaking Dark Knight saga, joined by artists Mikel Janín (GRAYSON) and Mitch Gerads (SHERIFF OF BABYLON). Collects BATMAN #9-15.
