Book Reviews of Batman: Year One
Book Review: The Definitive Batman
Summary: 5 Stars
For those who have never delved into the world of comic books this is a great place to start. If you always thought that comic books were too childish, read this and think of it as the new mythology of modern civilization. Modern mythology, like Star Wars and Batman, will be included with all of the great Greek and Roman Myths someday and this is the starting point of one of the oldest and arguably the most interesting character ever to grace the pages of a comic book. You have seen the movies with a big budget but no character development, and the old, cheesy TV episodes, but to see who Batman is truly meant to be read this book!Book Review: Excellent. True Batman fans must own this.
Summary: 5 Stars
Batman's character is truly defined in this story. He was an exceptional fighter, but as a rookie he wasn't quite flawless. Hey, even someone as cool as Batman can get impatient and make mistakes. This story also revolves around Commissioner Gordon before he became comissioner... back when he was a cop. Both Batman and Gordon are bad-a**, crime-fighting rookies who become legendary heros. Read!Book Review: The Beginning Of A Legend
Summary: 5 Stars
You know, it is sometimes hard to catagorize comic books as works of literature. But Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli pulled it off with "Batman: Year One." How can I put it? This IS Batman. Who he is and how he came to be. But Miller also explores the early career of a Lietenant James Gordon. And like I stated earlier, it is concocted in such a way that it rivals with many novels that I have read. There are no corny lines or stereotypical cliches here. There is only solid story telling, incredible art, and touching characterization. And there is no sign of Joel Schumacher anywhere.Book Review: The definitive origin of Batman
Summary: 5 Stars
Frank Miller and David Mazzuchelli have outdone themselves with one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) Batman stories ever told! Ladies and gentlemen, if you have only seen the Batman movies and found them unsatisfying and if you want to learn the one, true story of Gotham's protector, then do yourself a favor and buy this exceptional work of art! Sleek, powerful, frightening, and liberating, BATMAN:YEAR ONE is must reading for Batman and comic book fans alike!Book Review: Pretty good, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
This is great story from Frank Miller and company. I bought it mainly because I was impressed by The Dark Knight Returns, and have to say that I was a little disappointed. This is really more the story of how Batman and Gordon became friends than it is the story of Batman's early adventures. It is a good read, but doesn't live up to Dark Knight.
