Miller went far beyond the call of duty. The Dark Knight is a success on every level. Firstly it does keep the core elements of the Batman myth intact, with Robin, Alfred the butler, Commissioner Gordon and the old roster of villains, present yet brilliantly subverted. Secondly the artwork is fantastic--detailed, sometimes claustrophobic, psychotic. Lastly it's a great story: Gotham City is a hell on earth, streetgangs roam but there are no heroes. Decay is ubiquitous. Where is a hero to save Gotham? It is 10 years since the last recorded sighting of the Batman. And things have got worse than ever. Bruce Wayne is close to being a broken man but something is keeping him sane: the need to see change and the belief that he can orchestrate some of that change. Batman is back. The Dark Knight has returned. Awesome. --Mark Thwaite -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Batman As You've Never Seen Him Before--A Rookie...,
Von Jeffrey A. Veyera "Jeff Veyera" (Matthews, NC United States) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen (REAL NAME)
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Batman: Year One (Batman (DC Comics Paperback)) (Taschenbuch)
Following up on his 1986 renovation of the Batman myth with "The Dark Knight Returns", Frank Miller teamed with David Mazzucchelli to produce "Batman: Year One", a novel retelling of how Bruce Wayne came to don tights to fight crime. Miller's Gotham City is a corrupt and festering cesspool, much as he would later depict in his Sin City series. Two good men come to town to clean things up: Bruce Wayne and Jim Gordon, a new detective on the Gotham police force fresh from his role in cleaning up another police department. Wayne himself has returned to his hometown after a long absence, during which he trained himself to become a vigilante. Wayne's first foray into crimefighting nearly ends in disaster, but leads him ultimately to adopt the Batman motif to frighten criminals. Gordon becomes his unlikely ally as he strives to clean up Gotham's police department. The writing remains more mature and gritty than the typical comic book fare of the time. Batman is not the invincible denizen of the dark we've come to know and love, but an awkward guy in a goofy costume who seems always to be within an inch of death. Gordon is no paragon of virtue either; the main subplot deals with his affair with another cop while his wife waits to give birth to his son. The result is a gripping, gritty, and ultimately redeeming tale which once again reinvents the familiar figure of the Batman.

The Book of Genesis according to Frank,
Von Ramon Varela "pcrossland" (Panama City, Panama) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Batman: Year One (Batman (DC Comics Paperback)) (Taschenbuch)
It is a shame that, Tim Burton's excellent two outings notwithstanding, the Batman of film and television is the one that is most solidly rooted in the collective psyche of the public. What many current readers may not remember, however, is that the campiness of the 1966-68 TV show was reflected in, and fed off the Batman titles at the time.All of that changed when Dennis O'Neil took over the writing chores and returned the character to the dark roots laid out by the late, great, Bob Kane and Bill Finger. Dennis O'Neil brought Batman comics into and through puberty. Frank Miller brought them into adulthood. Along with the brilliant "Dark Knight Returns," "Year One" bookends the saga of Bruce Wayne by re-interpreting and sometimes redefining the character's roots. In so doing, Frank Miller laid the foundation for the character that today populates the monthly titles. Although not as grim as "Dark Knight," "Year One" nonetheless hits closer to home and is, in my opinion, the best introduction to the character for anyone unfamiliar with it outside of film and TV. The parallel struggles of Bruce Wayne and Jim Gordon to "clean up a city that likes being dirty" are brilliantly rendered by Miller, possibly the finest comics writer EVER. Miller's Jim Gordon is a far cry from the incompetent beat cop shown in movies and TV. He is a passionate, crusading man, the sort of cop Bruce Wayne might have been in another reality. Opinions have always been strong one way or the other about the art in "Year One." For my money, you couldn't ask for more. Mazzucchelli's pencils work wonders even beyond what he did in "Daredevil: Born Again," and the coloring is particularly striking in its subtlety, even more so when you consider the "beat you over the head" standards of late-'80s comics. All in all, this is the definitive Batman origin story. That Miller, Mazzucchelli and Lewis also manage to turn it into one of the finest Batman stories ever told is evidenced by the lasting impact it had on all subsequent interpretations of the characters involved. An all-around winner. Helfen Sie anderen Kunden bei der Suche nach den hilfreichsten Rezensionen

Batman, in the beginning ...,
Von Stephen Richmond "Librarian/Teacher/Reader an... (Newton, Massachusetts) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen (REAL NAME)
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Batman: Year One (Batman (DC Comics Paperback)) (Taschenbuch)
I have never been much of a Batman fan since the TV show went off back in the late sixties; however, this collection from the late eighties shows a lot of the promise the character has always contained, but seldom realized. Frank Miller is certainly one of the finest writers to emerge from comics in the last generation of so, and this is a fine example of his work. His conception of Batman and the entire body of Bat-lore is unique, while remaining respectful, if not cloyingly faithful, to the years of prior continuity. This story within is of parallel obsessions: Bruce Wayne's passionate promise on his parents' grave to rid his city of the criminal element and James Gordon's equally ardent impulse to do much the same, only through traditional law enforcement means. The portrayal of Selina Kyle as the incipient Catwoman is particularly poignant and gripping as is the long-suffering portrait of Barbara Gordon, the quintessential cop's wife. While the art is interesting in a primitive, naive mode, David Mazzuchelli and Richmond Lewis seem an unfortunate choice of artists for the work that relaunched the entire Batman franchise. Perhaps, however, it is a testament to the strength of Miller's writing, that the art neither detracts nor distracts from the story.
