5.0 out of 5 stars
Very faithful to the original comic book,
This review is from: Batman: Year One [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Even though the title story is only 64 minutes it is extremely faithful to the original comic story and didn't edit much. The artists lifted a lot of the imagery and dialogue right from the comic panels. The voice acting is well done all around.I also enjoyed the Catwoman short on the disc. Neither of these titles are for kids though. The PG-13 rating is accurate. The extras on the disc don't add much. Except for sneak peeks with little video and the rest are talking head collages. Unfortunately none of the talking heads are Frank Miller who was one of the original authors. I only give 5 stars to films that I will watch repeatedly and Batman: Year One is such a title. Well done Warner Brothers.

"Batman:Year One (2011) ... Frank Miller's Graphic Novel Comes To Life (4.5 stars)",
By
This review is from: Batman: Year One (DVD)
Warner Bros.Animation and DC Comics presents "BATMAN:YEAR ONE" (2011) - (64 min/Color) -- Starring: Bryan Cranston, Benjamin McKenzie, Eliza Dushku, Jon Polito, Alex Rocco, Katee Sackhoff, Jeff Bennett, Saratoga BallentineDirected by Lauren Montgomery, Sam Liu Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's seminal comic book series, Batman: Year One, follows the original story of the graphic novel series, makes its way to the animated small screen with this Warner Premiere production. Enjoy the panel by panel illustrations, brings into focus that Batman is now being targeted more than ever to the adult readers. This Warner Premiere movie is totally aimed for the fans of the graphic novel. Gave me chills to see this on the screen, as this has always been one of my favorite tales from the Dark Knight years. The story follows James Gordon (voice: Bryan Cranston) during his early years on the force just as the vigilante Batman (voice: Ben McKenzie) targets both the corrupt police officials and the crime-ridden streets for a clean-up - another good voice supporting cast Eliza Dushku (voice: Selina Kyle / Catwoman), Jon Polito (voice: Commissioner Loeb), Alex Rocco (voice: Carmine Falcone), Katee Sackhoff (voice: Sarah Essen), Jeff Bennett (voice: Alfred), Saratoga Ballentine (voice: Skeevers' Attorney) - Job well done! For product description and editorial review check this out on the Amazon site above my review * Special Footnote: -- Some outstanding reviews by other reviewers on this page, very detailed and informing, invite you to read them and vote "yes", if you agree ... DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation should follow-up with another original movie 'Dark Knight Returns', with the same professional staff and or similar voice actors. ** Take Note: -- One lone reviewer is way off and a downer, he should re-read the graphic novel again, or if he ever did. SPECIAL FEATURES: 1. 'Justice Leagues:Doom' (sneak peek) DC Universe's Next Animated Original Movie 2. 'All-Star Superman' (sneak peek) 3. 'Green Lantern:Emerald Knights' (sneak peek) 4. 'DCU Application' (download digital comics trailer) 5. 'Thundercats' (trailer) 6. 'Looney Tunes Platinum Collection' (trailer) 7. 'Young Justice' (trailer) DC SHOWCASE PRESENTS: 1. 'CATWOMAN' (15 minutes) Mr. Jim's Ratings: Quality of Picture & Sound: 4 1/2 Stars Performance: 4 1/2 Stars Story & Screenplay: 4 1/2 Stars Overall: 4 1/2 Stars [Original Music, Cinematography & Film Editing] Total Time: 64 min on DVD ~ Warner Bros.Animation/DC Comics ~ (October 18, 2011)

In a way surprised. Good but surprised.,

This review is from: Batman: Year One (DVD)
I have been on a roll concerning anythign with Batman so I decided to pick this one up. I expected it to be based on the comic (and no I have not read it)Graphics were amazing, I expected a full length movie similar to the Red Hood one. This was not the case. You see the story focuses more on the corrupted police and Gotham itself than on the character Batman. It focuses on Gordon and battling his own inner demons and personal values. Not a bad thing, jsut not what I expected. You do see batman, a dark version in any case, you see a Selena which turns out to be catwoman but in a wrong way (she's actually a prostitute and just like to wear a costume to steal things) which is totally unlike the catwoman i know in any case. Besides that, there isn't really a known villain like Joker, Two face, etc. It is more on the human typical side like a the mayor. The movie movies forward at a nice pace but I sometimes found myself left hungry because they forward days and even weeks at a time. Must admit it was darker than what I imagine which was a nice touch and that is actually what kept me watching the movie. It does touch some themes from Batman Begins the movie batman was considered a vigilante and police were always trying to kill him ) Would I buy this movie? No. Will I watch it again.? No. It is a simple movie that you will either enjoy or feel that it could hvae been better.
