Absolute Batman. Volume 1, The ZooAbsolute Batman. Volume 1, The Zoo

Bruce Wayne comes from nothing. He is not the heir of a wealthy family in Gotham City. Instead, he is the son of a public school teacher. He has experienced the unimaginable horror of random gun violence as a child, changing the trajectory of his life forever. With no limitless resources, no billions to fund him, no mansion, and no butler to care for him, Bruce has shaped himself into an entirely different kind of Batman, one that is equal parts brain and brawn, who exists exclusively in the grittiest and most underserved parts of Gotham with no high society mask to fall back on.
