Batman Dark Age.

Hi denizens of alt.comics.batman,

On and off I have been following the Batman and his opponents
and friends since the 1940s

Batman Dark Age is a new take on Batman a compilation in
hardcover of a short comic series
Written by Mark Russell
Drawn by Michael Allred
Colored by Laura Allred
I could not find the cover price so I looked on line and I am
glad that I got it at the San Francisco Public Library
About $40 US and here is Amazon which tells us a little more
<https://www.amazon.com/Batman-Dark-Age-Mark-Russell/dp/1799500861>

	Bruce loses his parents in the usual way but he is not with them
  at the Zorro showing. He is raised permissively by Alfred the butler.
   A spoiled child in adolescence  he becomes first a juvenile delinquent
   then is convicted and sentenced to 10 years hard time but a lenient
   judge lets him volunteer for military duty at the time of the Viet Nam
   incursions. There he learns unarmed combat as well as other skills.
   He objects to an order to kill a prisoner and is dismissed with an
   Honorable Discharge.  At home he becomes the target of the shadowy
   people behind Wayne Industries and he finally saves Gotham.
	  Now the story opens in 2030 with Bruce Wayne in a long term
  care facility and you will never guess who his close pal is.

	 But we have a Robin with a new costume, a very different Joker
  Cat-Woman, the Penguin and the Riddler, Superman, Wonder Woman
  the Flash, Green Lantern, Ras al Gul and Brainiac as well as the
Anti-Monitor.

	 I enjoyed it.
