Review of Batman: Year One (2011) by Antwon B — 09 Jul 2014
A perfect comic book adaptation. It tells the Story of a young Bruce Wayne struggling to become the dark knight detective and Jim Gordon on his path to become the commissioner of the city. And how the two men learned to forge a bond with each other. The live action films, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight took many beats from this very comic.
The fan boys really annoy me when they complain about the voice acting. They believe that only Kevin Conroy (BatmanTAS 1992)can voice Batman. And they say that animators need to stick to the source material. And if they meaning the filmmakers follow the source, now the complaint is, "my mind fills in the blanks when I read the comics, where the film does not." The film makers cannot win!
This film closely followed the source material and it does a fine job. It's better than that dreck, Superman Dooms day animated film. They shoulda stuck to the source. I read the comics in 1986 and was greatly surprise.
If you enjoy comic book action animated films, give this one a go.
