is year one:the re-interpretation of batman's origin, better than the dark kinght returns:the now legendary finale(i know there is a sequel to it but i dont acknowlede it) to the career of batman?this is a hard one as i myself love both of these classics that prove just why frakn miller is the best in the business.your thoughts please..

I agree, both books are amazing, but I'm definitely going to go with Dark Knight Returns. I loved the tone of year one, but DKR was so crazy with the mutants and everything, it was just a fun ride. The thing is that DKR is a lot longer, therefore having more classic moments for me.

My favorite part of Year One is when Batman is hiding and neutralizing the SWAT team, and one of the guys shoots at a cat, and batman gets angry about it and throws the guy through a brick wall. Haha.

I can't get myself to look at DKR, because I hate Miller's art. But Year One was great, so I gotta give it a chance one of these days.

I actually much preferred DKR

DKR was brilliant except for Carrie Kelly. She really, really hurt the story overall. Year One is better for that reason.

"I can't get myself to look at DKR, because I hate Miller's art. But Year One was great, so I gotta give it a chance one of these days."

I have read both, and while reading I think I can say that DKR was better, but I love year one much more. The art, the gordon perspective, and the young batman's personality really do it for me
