* ShroudedInMyth: The most information the current GCPD has on Batman is a small serious 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.

''Batman Year 100'' is a comic book Creator/{{Elseworlds}} 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 SuperHero comic, but Creator/DCComics declined the offer. It is a particular favorite of ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' writer Creator/ScottSnyder who has homaged it a couple times in his run on the character.

** "The Berlin Batman", a story that's included in the collected edition, an another {{Elseworld}} tale where Batman is a Jewish aristocrat fighting the Nazis in World War II. The libertarian leanings are even more pronounced there where Batman goes out of his way to defend and protect Ludwig von Mises, the father of libertarianism and endorse his views.

It is the year 2039 (exactly 100 years after Batman's publication debut in ''Detective Comics'' hence the title) and the US 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 GovernmentConspiracy covering up the truth behind a murder of one of their own.

* AmbiguousSituation: 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? [[spoiler: By the end, we know his name is ''probably'' Bruce but we never know for sure.]]

* ContinuityNod: This story exists in a world where [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Batman really did debut in 1939]], [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks took publicity photos in the 60's with Robin]], and [[ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns fought cops in front of Comissioner Yindel in the late 80's]].

* NamesToRunAwayFrom: Lampshaded with [[spoiler:Fleshkiller]].
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler: The plot kicks off because Agent Mercer wants the Fleshkiller virus for himself]]
* SyntheticPlague: [[spoiler: Fleshkiller]]

* WriterOnBoard: When the team discovers the existence of [[spoiler:Fleshkiller]], Batman goes on a lengthly tirade on the escalation of war and government overreach. It's hard not to see Paul Pope's libertarian views poking through.

The title is a playoff of the famous ''ComicBook/BatmanYearOne''.

* TheGhost: The Batman to the various government agents of the story.

* VillainousBreakdown: Agent Pravdzka, the closest to the BigBad, is having a slow-boiling one all through the story. By the time he gets his hands on what he thinks is the intel on Batman, he grabs at it like a crack addict.
