Review of Batman: Year One (2011) by Grant H — 24 Apr 2016
A great comic book adaptation that clearly establishes one of the most important elements of the Batman mythos: Gotham City. In this movie Gotham becomes a character on its own, with corruption and impunity on every corner, the perfect setting for a vigilante dressed as a Bat.
Although the main character is not only Batman but James Gordon as well, both trying to clean Gotham on their own way and with their own resources. Ultimately this is a great animation with a solid new origin for Batman and Gordon that contains universal themes, such as corruption, impunity and injustice, that's what makes it so appealing.
Special Mention to the Showcase: Catwoman short film which was also great.
