Again, our friends at CBR have teased us with art from upcoming projects. After so long a wait, we finally have a chance to enjoy some art from GEOFF JOHNS nd GARY FRANK’S graphic novel: BATMAN EARTH ONE due on May this year. Much is the anticipation for this project whose intention as explained by CBR news team “The original concept of the line was to create a series of books following the European tradition of releasing serialized chapters of a story in graphic novel form”.
This is what Geoff Johns told CBR about the project: “The size of the books, gives us an ability to really dive into these characters and explore them, especially Bruce Wayne. When we meet him and who he is and where he goes, is going to be something that is a bit different from what people are used to.”
I personally read the first graphic novel of this series SUPERMAN EARTH ONE and not being a Superman fan myself, I found the story very well written and quite entertaining. Even felt that it had ended too soon. I just wanted…more. Geoff Johns is a well known writer, having given life to most of the new DC Universe with stories like GL’s BLACKEST NIGHT and his current reinvention of AQUAMAN for tne new 52, so I anticipate his take on an iconic character like Bruce Wayne/Batman to be as refreshing. Gary Frank provides the pencils and they do not disappoint. This might be along his best work yet.
For a preview, I took the liberty of bringing the images from CBR’s report on the graphic novel, but provide a link to the original article. In the meantime, enjoy some very dramatic GARY FRANK art from BATMAN EARTH ONE:
