Nigel J.: From what I had read this was a good place to start for someone just getting into comics/graphic novels. I watched the animated movie first but now I'm going to be reading the comics first before watching the movies, I enjoyed the book of year one more than the movie. I read it on my Fire HD 8 and it looked great. This has been a nice cheap way to collect dc titles since they have been cheap.

Simon Hannibal: So well written, this was the first time in 33 years that I had read 'year one', still fresh and very 'real'. You can see where both Christopher Nolan and Matt Reeves have taken their cues from.

Connan: Si entiendes el inglés y no quieres gastar mucho en una edición más “premium”, está es una perfecta opción.
Buena, bonita y barata son las mejores palabras para describir esta edición.
La obra en sí es fascinante, claro que todos pueden decir lo fabulosa que es pero es algo que debes de descubrir por tu cuenta al leer la historia.

A person.: So you want to start reading Batman comics? I bet you've searched all over the internet, on sites such as comic vine, youtube, yahoo answers, and they all tell you the same thing: Start with Batman: Year One. Why start with this book? Well, this review will explain everything: The cover, the artwork, the extra features, the story, and what I recommend you read next. Without further ado, let us begin.
Once upon a time, there was a man named Frank Miller. In 1986, Frank wrote a little story called The Dark Knight Returns. This critically acclaimed alternate-universe novel featured Miller's revolutionary interpretation of Batman. Shortly after, he was asked to write something else. Anything. He took a very general route: a Batman origin story. Little did he know, this 4-issue story would become a classic, essential Batman collection.
Batman Year One collects Batman issues 404-407 into one remastered collection, complete with bonus features of extra artwork, preludes, afterwords, etc. Here is a breakdown of the book's contents:

Count Orlok '22: During the 1980s there was a real attempt in the comic book industry to cater to the interests, maturity, and cynicism of adults rather than to the naivete, innocence, and adventurous spirit of children. Many classic comic book superheroes were resurrected into the world of the '80s and given very grim contemporary story lines to make them more realistic and compelling. Perhaps one of the most compelling of these story lines is that written by Frank Miller. In the late '70s and into the early '80s, Miller had made a real name for himself while working at both Marvel and DC, and his revitalization of the Daredevil and Punisher characters for Marvel Comics had proven to be a major success with fans and critics. But perhaps Miller's greatest achievement in comics came when he created two very different and very dark depictions of Batman for DC Comics.
In the now legendary "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" , Miller turned Batman into a Dirty Harry-like vigilante, whose brutal methods were only matched by the brutality of the crumbling futuristic Gotham that he lived in. The book was somewhat controversial as it changed or rather embellished certain characteristics of the...

Shayan: Frank Miller's Batman: Year One is a definitive masterpiece that delves into the gritty origins of the Dark Knight. The narrative is both compelling and authentic, offering a fresh take on Batman's early days in Gotham. David Mazzucchelli's artwork complements the storytelling, capturing the noir atmosphere perfectly. The character development is exceptional, providing depth to both Batman and Commissioner Gordon. While some may find the pacing intense, it adds to the overall suspense. A must-read for any Batman fan or comic book enthusiast, as it remains a benchmark in graphic storytelling.
