One of the greatest DC Animated Films Yet! 4
Batman Year One was released digitally on October 11, 2011 (yesterday, if you are reading this on the day it is published). Bruce Timm, Andrea Romano and company join back once again to retell one of the most memorable stories of DC Universe continuity, or old continuity (prior to the events of Flashpoint and New 52). The Batman Year One takes place in the corrupted city of Gotham, eighteen years passed the murder of Bruce Wayne's parents, Thomas and Martha. Having left to travel the world and h...

Batman Year One : Movie Grades 0
Just watched Batman Year One the animated movie. It's great. It's very gritty and realistic. It's much less like a comic book superhero story and more like a crime drama. No crazy over the top villain or anything like that. It's very down to earth. People wanting to see Joker,Penguin,or Riddler will be disappointed. But, we do get a little Catwoman. Fans of shows like CSI or Law & Order may want to give this a watch. Warning to parents, this is not for little kids. Even though this is Batman...

Batman Year One Movie Preview 2
I think this is an interesting experiment. I would love for those who hated Smallville because it veered away from comic book continuity, to review this video. This is an exact telling of the series within a series Frank Miller wrote all those years ago. Sure there are a few changes, but you would have to have a sharp eye to find what the changes were.The animation is dead on, and This stacks well on the list of straight to dvd movies dc has been releasing these past few years. I love the fact t...

The Best! 0
I was so surprised at how incredibly good every part of this movie was. I can't believe the level of absolute brilliance of every part. The art, animation, voice acting, story, and music were all so perfect. I couldn't have dreamed of a better Batman Year One Movie. Everything just clicked. It was incredible. This is a movie you MUST SEE; no matter how much or how little of a Batman fan you are. It's the best DC has EVER done. I can't believe they could actually top Red Hood, but they did. My on...

The Year Has Begun!!!! 0
This movie is amazing. The story tells about Batman and Jim Gordon and how it began for them in Gotham City. The story is told staight from the graphic novel by Frank Miller and is brought to the screen very well. The cast was incredible and did a good job voicing their characters. I like it because we get to see the beginning of Batman and Jim Gordon, how they meet, and become partners to help Gotham. This is a great movie to enjoy and you get to see Catwoman too. Overall, I;m giving it a 5/5 b...

Near Perfect Adaptation of the Comic 0
Batman: Year One is the animated adaptation of the Frank Miller story arc (and later graphic novel) from Batman comics. I expected a soft-pedaled version ala some of the Batman the Animated Series comic adaptations. Nope. It retains both the quality of the BtAS TV show, with the rawness of the Frank Miller story. While it does lose some of the grittiness of Mazzucchelli's artwork in transition to screen, it is in almost all other ways the equivalent of the comic, and in some occasions even supe...

A nice walkthrough of the book. 0
Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham City after being away for 12 years. His new mission in life is to wage war against the criminal element. He has the will and the training but something is missing. Lt. James Gordon is a transfer cop from Chicago and he must fight his own battles. However, his fight is not exactly with the easy to see street level hoods. These two kindred souls are fighting for the same cause. But will their different methods turn them into bitter enemies or into trusted allies? -sum...

May sit proudly on the shelf next to BATMAN BEGINS 0
While cinematiccally not as amazing as BATMAN BEGINS, this is still an incredible adaptation directed mostly at teens and (young) adults.The atmosphere is very dark, the characters are ruthless and the fights are bloody.Beautifully animated - no really, this thing looks amazing.One thing I did not really like, was Batmans voice, other than that, this can sit proudly next to BATMAN BEGINS.Running time of 60 minutes never lets it outstay its welcome.Rating:Animation: 9/10Character Design: 10/10Nar...
