Batman #33 – Vol. 2 (2014) serves as the dramatic conclusion to the critically acclaimed Zero Year storyline, a bold reimagining of Bruce Wayne’s early days as the Dark Knight. Written by Scott Snyder, with art by Greg Capullo, this issue delivers a finale that’s as explosive as it is emotional—cementing its place as one of the most impactful Batman origin arcs in recent history.

Set in a Gotham plunged into chaos and overrun by the Riddler, this issue brings everything to a head. Edward Nygma has transformed the city into his personal playground, holding it hostage through a deadly game of intellect and ego. In a test of wits and willpower, Batman must rise not only as a symbol of justice but as a beacon of hope in a city stripped of light—both literally and figuratively.

Scott Snyder’s storytelling is layered, weaving together themes of identity, rebirth, and resilience. The arc challenges what it truly means to become Batman, and issue #33 delivers a powerful payoff. From psychological introspection to all-out confrontation, Snyder manages to honour the character’s legacy while carving a modern myth for a new generation.

Greg Capullo’s artwork is nothing short of masterful. Every panel is filled with tension and detail, his dynamic linework bringing Gotham’s shattered landscape to life with brutal clarity. Whether it’s a moment of explosive action or a quiet beat of reflection, Capullo captures it with cinematic precision. The colours by FCO Plascencia elevate the mood further—harsh neons contrasting the city’s decay, making for a striking visual palette that reflects Gotham’s state of flux.

As a key moment in the New 52 continuity, Batman #33 closes Zero Year on a high note—both thematically and narratively. It reinforces Bruce Wayne’s commitment to Gotham, not just as a guardian but as a symbol of unyielding determination in the face of overwhelming odds. This is the issue where Batman stops surviving and starts becoming.
