DCU geek awesomeness - EARTH ONE.

Superman by J. Michael Straczynski is impressive, but Batman by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank = TOTAL WIN.

DC Universe: The Source » Blog Archive » DCU IN 2010: WELCOME TO EARTH ONE:

"Starting next year, DC Comics will unveil SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE and BATMAN: EARTH ONE, two graphic novels spotlighting the most powerful heroes of the DC Universe, with their first years and earliest moments retold in a standalone, original graphic novel format, on a new earth with an all-new continuity.

...Watch from the darkest corners of Crime Alley as a young boy is struck by unbelievable tragedy that will forge the greatest crime-fighter to ever stalk the rooftops of Gotham City in BATMAN: EARTH ONE, by writer Geoff Johns and artist Gary Frank."

...and the new Alfred looks kick-ass, quite frankly.
