Fills in Dead Parents square on the DC Comic Book Bingo card (then again, what DC character wouldn't fill in this square, lol). Color me unimpressed with Frank Miller and his interpretation of Batman. This was a DC comic for non-DC readers; there was no real humor or brightness to act as a counter...

Batman has always been one of my favorite DC characters. Batman: Year One is the perfect book to read about the beginning of Batman's saga. The story and artwork is amazing. A great read for all Batman fans.

While it was kinda nice to see a bit of Batman's first year as a crime-fighting superhero/vigilante, it inspired absolutely zero interest on my part. I have practically no investment in any of the characters, as they are written in this. Also, I think comics are simply not my medium. Sorry, Eris.

Year One is the Batman origin that everyone currently knows. It is the origin story that until Frank Miller wrote it, did not exist. And therefore, while the book may not appear ground-breaking currently; at its time of publication it was incredibly fresh. It was the gritty, revenge seeking origin s...

The Batman's beginnings. Presumed a criminal at start, he build his path through the dark Gotham City. But, even the Batman needs a partner.A good graphic novel to comprehend how it all started.

Loved it! It's a tweener, residing somewhere between the cynical shadowy world of Watchmen and the bright primary colored world of Superman. Batman is a very human superhero - gets shot multiple times, has a tv smashed over his head, has a soft spot for stray cats, and chooses the superhero role rel...

I liked seeing the start of Catwoman, but I hated Gordon's affair in it :(
