Beneath the thrilling spectacle, intelligence, and deceptively bright world of Gotham (thanks to FCO Plascencia’s indispensable colors and Danny Miki’s distinct inking) lies the simple journey of a man who, through sheer will and determination (as well as heart) gains an identity and becomes who he was meant to be: a hero. When exploring the city unattended, Bruce isn’t a member of the storied Wayne family that has a rich history and deep ties to the city. When Bruce’s father, Thomas, asks his son why he loves Gotham, the boy responds by saying that the city allows him to be anyone he wants to be.
