Product Description:
Visionary writer/artist Paul Pope presents a futuristic mystery of epic proportions set in a dark, dystopian world devoid of privacy and filled with government conspiracies, psychic police, holographic caller ID and absolutely no room for "secret identities."
In Gotham City, 2039, a federal agent is murdered and a contingent of Washington's top agents is hot on the suspect's trail. The Batman, a forgotten icon from the past, is wanted for the murder. Amid the chaos Gotham City Police Detective Gordon, grandson of the former commissioner, discovers that the man they are chasing shouldn't exist at all.

The idea of taking the batman character 100 years into the future was creative, unfortunately nothing else involved in this project was interesting in the least.
The illustrations were flat out poor and actually made following what was going on difficult at times. There was nothing noteworthy about the dialogue, which mostly consisted of partial conversations. Piecing the conversation balloons to the correct character was an extra hassle at times also. Even the ending "mini" story was pretty ... Read More

Paul Pope's "Batman Year 100" is brilliant. Pope re-imagines Batman's mask as the ultimate rebellion in a world devoid of privacy. His "message" is not heavy-handed, however; it fits in perfectly with Pope's re-imagining of Gotham as a Blade-Runner-esque metropolis, populated by police gangs (who have taken on the trappings of sports-teams), cyborg-dogs, teenage computer geniuses, and shadowy government operatives. Even Gordon (grandson of the commissioner) looks & dresses an awful lot like a young ... Read More

This isn't as deep as Pope's usual work on THB or HEAVY LIQUID and the like. It is his version of Batman, and that's fun to see. A little grittier and earthier than the classic portrayal of the Dark Knight. And it's in the future so you get to see Pope's use of futuristic gadgets and plot devices, as in THB. The Paul Pope reboot of Batman.

Set in 2039, a century after Batman first appeared this story pits Batman against a government that is out of control eager to shred every last bit of privacy. Including the true identity of certain vigilante.
Creator Paul Pope lavishes attention on Batman's costume and equipment putting real thought into what he might wear and how it might work. The sketchbook pages are a real treat and should be required reading for future Batman artists.
The story itself is fairly linear, ... Read More

In "batman year 100", we find batman set in the future. 40 years after "the dark knight returns" perhaps. The reason why i refer to "the dark knight returns" is because "batman year 100" is just as iconic and remarkable as "the dark knight returns." I would much rather consider this a sequel more than "the dark knight strikes again." Its gritty and the artwork is outstanding. i love how batman looks grimey and old. The addition of fangs to instill fear in his enemies was a great concept that made him even ... Read More
