NOT better than The Dark Knight Returns
It's all been said, more or less, about this comic. It's a good one, a really good one, but is by no means better than The Dark Knight Returns. The art may look better at first sight, but is far more mainstream than Miller's work is. The story itself is... well, smaller? Less epic? Three stars, just to make sure that if The Dark Knight Returns gets an average 4.5, this...

Batman As You've Never Seen Him Before--A Rookie..., 6. Juli 2000
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, 20. Januar 2000
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.

Batman, in the beginning ..., 30. Dezember 1999
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.

Transcendent, 18. November 1999
Von Ein Kunde
I had been dabbling in comics for a couple of years when I first picked up "Year One", and it has had me hooked on comics ever since. Going far beyond whimsy and caprice that most people ascribe to comics, it introduced me to the power of comics as a storytelling medium. Also, its a compelling introduction to one of comics most compelling characters, The Dark Knight. Read this book!

Up there with Dark Knight Returns, 15. Oktober 1999
Von Ein Kunde
One of the best comic stories of all time, with excellent artwork, Batman: Year One really stands out as a milestone. This realistic, definitive origin is how Batman began his career, and the only Batman story that rivals this one in quality is Dark Knight Returns, which is how Batman's career should end. Both the story and the artwork are dripping with mood, and are well paced and well delivered. Keep an eye out for the Edward Hopper allusion. Batman is portrayed very realistically, and James Gordon is no longer a one dimensional character. He actually steals the spotlight and is both a very sympathetic and cool character. If you've never read a comic, start here, and then get Batman: Dark Knight Returns.

Better than Dark Knight Returns, 25. Januar 2000
This is, quite simply, the best Batman story ever told. Miller, the definitive Batman writer, has crafted a story even better than his Dark Knight Returns. Mazzucchelli turns in one of the most realistic and beautiful renditions of Batman ever. The coloring firmly grounds this series in reality. If you can only own one Batman story, this one must be it. I wish there was a rating better than 5 stars that I could give this story.

prelude to Sin City, 2. Januar 2000
This book is an excellent read for me. It focuses less on Batman and more on Jim Gordon. It sets up Gordon as a man instead of someone Batman can get info from. What Miller did for Batman in The Dark Knight, he does here for Jim Gordon. The Gotham Police Department is truely shown as the cesspool af graft and corruption it was always reputed to be. It works great as a kind of for runner to Miller's SinCity tales in later years. It is also a great lead in to Jeph Loeb and Tim Sales excellent "The Long Halloween" and "Dark Victory" stories. Mazzucchelli's art is simple and powerful. Batman looks like a guy in a funny costume with a cape, yet it somhow works. I just wish Miller had a little more room to tell his story. There is only one real action scene, when Bats is cornered by the police. still, it is very good and well worth a read for all Miller and Batman fans.

Excellent companion to "The Dark Knight Returns", 2. Dezember 1999
I didn't know what to make of this when I read it in the original serialized form - I didn't initially enjoy the story or the art. A distinct departure from his work on "Dark Knight", Miller's writing is nonetheless effective in portraying the first adventures of Batman. Mazzucchelli's art is actually quite fitting for the story: very simple, but heavy on lines and shadows, sort of like Alex Toth. I've grown to treasure this book. Plus, the storyline with Jim Gordon is very good.
