comment
Batman Year 100 is a comic book miniseries by Paul Pope that came out in 2006. It is notable in that the editor for The Best American Comics wanted to include it for the 2008 edition, a rarity for a mainstream Super Hero comic, but DC Comics declined the offer. It is a particular favorite of Batman writer Scott Snyder who has homaged it a couple times in his run on the character.It is the year 2039 (exactly 100 years after Batman's publication debut in Detective Comics hence the title) and the U.S. is a Cyberpunk land of telepathic government agents and attack dogs with micro-cameras in their eyes. The Federal Police Corps operate with impunity and privacy is a joke. Except there are rumors of an unknown, a ghost running across the rooftops of Gotham. It is the Batman. But how can it be? He'd have to be at least 120 years old! Is this the original guy under the cowl? Is it a clone? A robot? It's up to Commissioner James Gordon, the original's grandson, to uncover the mystery. Meanwhile, Batman and his support team are uncovering a Government Conspiracy covering up the truth behind a murder of one of their own.The title is a play on Batman: Year One.

Ambiguous Situation: It's never clear exactly who this Batman is. Is it Bruce Wayne? If so, how is he still young? Is it a new guy? A clone? By the end, we know his name is probably Bruce but we never know for sure.

comment
Shrouded in Myth: The most information the current GCPD has on Batman is a small series of poor-quality photos and videos stretching back to 1939, along with some old handwriting samples and a half-century old police report. Gordon lampshades that if the FPC is demanding all the evidence the GCPD has on the Dark Knight, it's a good indication that they have next to no knowledge on him either.

Writer on Board: When the team discovers the existence of Fleshkiller, Batman goes on a lengthy tirade on the escalation of war and government overreach. It's hard not to see Paul Pope's libertarian views poking through. The collected edition includes The Berlin Batman, another Elseworld story penned by Pope, imagines Batman as a Jewish aristocrat fighting Nazism in World War II. Pope's libertarian views are accentuated when Batman defends fellow Jew and the father of Libertarianism, Ludwig von Mises, while explicitly endorsing his beliefs.
