 An excellent starting of the Batman mythos February 11, 2010
Waylon Monk (Panama City Beach, Florida United States)
I recommend this book to all fans(who probably already have it) and to anyone just starting to read comics and interested in Batman. Frank Miller made three characters really standout in this novel. Batman who gives us the beginning of a dark figure fighting for justice in a cruel jungle of steel and cement. Gordon the first white knight to bring hope to a city that has lost it. And last the the city itself, Gotham. This city is dark, rotten, evil to the core. The only thing it could do was get help. This is a really amazing story and not one to miss.
 Review of Batman: Year One December 29, 2009
Ryan S. Mease (Chicago, IL, USA)
I really enjoy Frank Miller's vision of Batman, but this isn't my favorite of his works. I feel like the he missed an excellent opportunity to emphasize the moral ambiguity of an amateur vigilante. There are some scenes to suggest this, but the medium a short work like this doesn't allow the author ample time to develop such complex ideas. What I really want is a sequal, a Batman: Year Two.
must-add to your collection!! December 17, 2009

Written by Frank Miller, draw by David Mazzucchelli- the great story of Batman starting out. The back of the book is loaded with original story boards, scripts and sketches which are fascinating to look at. Probably the most striking and incredible part of the book is the hand-painted panels that were done just for this edition.
GREAT!! But.. to short... December 3, 2009
Jeremy D. Richards (Morton, IL)
First off I've got to say this is the first batman title I've read in years.
Only recently getting back into comics I decided that I wanted to check out a batman title and found this low priced used on amazon. Since it covers the origin I thought it might be a good place to start. Plus I've heard so much about frank miller I was very excited to read something by him.
Well after finishing the book I can honestly say every good thing I've heard about Frank Miller and about this book were definantly true. He delivers a deep exciting story with out the over need for all the bad guys we tend to see in most batman titles. It also shows us that Bruce Wayne didn't start out doing everything perfect. Matter of fact far from it. Which is nice, it adds a level of realism that we rarely see in comics.
The art work was very nice for the time, but doesn't exactly hold up to current comic's art.
But still not bad.
Now for the one major short comming, which is the length. It was super short, so short that they put in stuff like letters and sketches to fill pages it seems.
Plus for the life of me I cannot find any direct continuation of the story.
If anyone out there knows of one please let me know[...]
But over all I highly recommend this to all comic book fans and especially batman fans.
Only deducted one star due to the length to what would other wise be a five star rating.
