Batman Year One is a thrilling DC Universe Animated Original Movie based on the groundbreaking story by Frank Miller and featuring Bryan Cranston, Ben McKenzie, Katee Sackhoff, Eliza Dushku and Alex Rocco in its stellar voice cast. The story is set in the beginning of Bruce Wayne's career as Batman and Jim Gordon's with the Gotham City Police Department. Bruce Wayne returns home after years abroad to become a crimefighter, just as honest cop Lt. James Gordon moves to Gotham and finds corruption at every level. When Bruce becomes the masked vigilante Batman, the city explodes as his new nemesis Catwoman, the mob and Gordon all close in! (Warner Bros. AU)

It's good for a single watch, and it's a great idea to track the whole year using individual dates from the calendar. Fans of James Gordon will be on the fence, and I have a bit of a problem with this version of Catwoman (she's not sexy and so far she's too stupid). However, if you're still in the mood for a Batman original, definitely see this one.

Bruce Wayne returns to familiar places, Jim Gordon starts a new job, and both of them already suspect that the next year of their lives will be anything but easy. The original showed Gotham as a city of filth, corruption, and mafia, and unlike later Batman adventures, it completely did without the supernatural, uber-powerful enemies, or disfigured villains. Year One operates purely on the level of a crime drama, and its animated adaptation even surpasses its source material. In the comic, despite Frank Miller's otherwise illustrious storytelling, the plot sometimes got lost between the individual dialogue and monologues, whereas the hour-long film creates a much more cohesive impression and allows the unfriendly city to truly get to the heroes.
