5.0 out of 5 stars The best Batman story ever., 29 Mar 2006
This review is from: Batman Year One Deluxe Edition (Batman (DC Comics Hardcover)) (Hardcover)
Although Frank Miller is better known for the like of comic book classics like Sin City or The Dark Knight Returns, Batman: Year One has got to be his best. Miller completely redefined Batman for a new generation, and yet again completely de-camped the character to being so grim and gritty that it is hard to imagine that he was ever treated like a joke. The story follows Bruce Wayne returning to Gotham after a 12 year abscence, and Jim Gordon arriving there as a Lieutenant. Gotham city has become a place owned by crime, depression, and corruption. While Jim Gordon discovers that he is one of the only honest cops around, Bruce Wayne realises that he is one of the only honest citiznes around. After as distarous first attempt to fight crime, Bruce learns that he must use fear in a city like this, and so becomes the Batman.
Although Batman: Year One could be considered more a Gordon book than a Batman one, when Batman appears every time it is amazing. Miller manages to once again take Batman, change him, and make him so much better. An absolute classic.

4.0 out of 5 stars First comic ever read, and I liked it!, 24 Jul 2008
By Mr. Christopher P. Matthews "cpmatthews" (Lancaster, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First off: This review is only for comic book noobs, like myself!

I was recommended 2 comics to start me off on the road of comic reading, The Watchmen and Batman: Year One (due to the Batman Begins film being loosely based around this book). I read Batman first as it's much shorter, and wow, I feel like I've missed out on another world all these years! I was really suprised that the film was glammed up in comparison to at least this comic. It's very dark and Gotham really is messed up!

I almost couldn't put it down. The art work was great to look at and told a lot of the story that wasn't told in writing. I'm not sure if all comics are this clever, but I was impressed with the subtle story telling of the artwork.

Anyway, I was pretty sure that I'd not like comic books, but having read this one, I'm very excited to start The Watchmen, and have ordered a few more Batman novels to get my teeth sunk into. So well recommended for the first time reader I'd say as it's not too fantastical as some of the stuff I browsed over in the comic book store!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic given the treatment it desserves, 18 Jun 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Batman Year One Deluxe Edition (Batman (DC Comics Hardcover)) (Hardcover)
The second best Batman comic (beaten out by Millar's own Dark Knight Returns) is given the deluxe hardcover treatments.

Batman's origin is beautifully told, using dark, noirish writing by Millar and subtle, clean artwork from Mazzuchelli. A perfect starting point for anybody wanting to try out Batman comics, and completely essential for anyone who considers themselves a comics fan.
