Elseworlds: Batman: Year 100

This is one of the more interesting Batman stories, because of several reasons. 1. It is the year 2039, and Gotham City is a police state, with the citizens being randomly searched without warning. To make matters worse, Police Captain Gordon, grandson of the original Commissioner Gordon, is having to put up with Federal agents investigating the apparent return of the Batman. The second reason is that there are no supervillains in this story, not even a cameo of say some homeless man that is hinted as being The Joker. The third reason is that there is also no appearance by other superheroes, not a single one. I am not going to spoil the story for new readers, I'm just telling you a few little things that you may notice yourself if you pick up a copy of the trade (lingo for paperback graphic novel). I hope this new series of posts will further endure new comic book fans more to these amazing tales. To whoever is out there and reading this blog, I thank you.
