Before Bruce Wayne was Batman, he was… well, disinterested, mostly. But motivated by his parents’ will, which conveniently included a cave, he became… well… he had to try out some ideas, sing a few songs, work things out. And that’s the story told in this motion comic, Batman: Year Minus Two, by our friend and Conan writer Rob Kutner with art by Kody Chamberlain. If the voices sound familiar, that’s indeed Andy Richter as Bruce, and Brendan Coyle — Downton Abbey‘s Mr. Bates! — as Alfred.
