Batman: Year One Deluxe Edition

Product Information

The second half of the fourth season of the Batman-based television series Gotham is inspired by Batman: Year One. [31] You know that saying, 'If you read just one book, this is the one to read?' Well, that applies to BATMAN: YEAR ONE. It's not only one of the most important comics ever written, it's also among the best."—IGN Most Bat fans agree, however, that Miller's finest outing with the hero was Batman: Year One. Fresh off the success of DKR, Miller was tasked with updating and revamping Batman's origin story for the the new, post-Crisis on Infinite Earths DC Universe. It was a far cry from the brief, emotionally detached origin snippets seen in Batman's early Golden Age appearances. It was just what the character needed to adapt with the changing times. It worked so well that DC has let this particular origin story remain, even as Superman's origin is periodically revamped every three weeks or so. Serafino, Jason (January 17, 2018).
