Gotham, circa 2039: welcome to the future. Psychic police, satellite surveillance and a completely intrusive government ensure that personal privacy is a thing of the past. When a government agent is murdered in Gotham, a contingent of top Washington operatives is despatched to find the killer. Launching his own investigation, GCPD cop Jim Gordon - grandson of the Commissioner - discovers that the man wanted for the murder shouldn't even exist; after all, surely the Batman is dead! From the febrile, visionary mind of writer/artist Paul Pope (THB, 100%), with colour assists by Jose Villarubia (Promethea), comes an action-packed mystery... one hundred years in the making!

Year 100

Batman: Year 100 is one of the best Batman stories ever written alongside of Frank Miller and Scott Synder. Pope presents (like The Dark Knight Returns) a dark, dystopian take on the world of Batman and Gotham City. In Pope's reality, Gotham of 2039 is devoid of privacy - and is essentially a police state. Mixing crime noir with futuristic dystopian sci-fi, Batman Year 100 is essentially a play on Frank Miller's classic, Batman year one and is in many ways the spiritual sucessor to The Dark Knight Returns. The story centers on Detective James Gordon, grandson of the original Commissioner Gordon, who worked with Batman. He finds himself thrust between a Batman (who is he? Is he the same man?) falsely accused of murder, corrupt federal agents, and a plot by rogue agents of the government to create a weapon of unimaginable proportion after a federal agent is murdered and a contingent of Washington's top agents is hot on the suspect's trail. The Batman here is a forgotten icon from the past, who shouldn't exist at all. The mythic element of Batman remains. The art of Paul Pope is original and gritty and the storyline is very original. Highly recommended. This certainly deserves repeated readings.
