The Comics Canon

Episode 155 – Batman: Year One


Listen Later

We're back, baby! Just in time for the March 4 release of The Batman, we discuss Batman Year One by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli, published by DC Comics!

Following on the heels of 1986's acclaimed The Dark Knight Returns and DC's post-Crisis on Infinite Earths reboot, this four-part origin story (originally published in Batman #404-407) is steeped in the hard-boiled atmospherics of pulp, noir and gritty 70s crime flicks.

Will grizzled police detective Jim Gordon prevail against Gotham City's corrupt police force? Will a newly returned Bruce Wayne become the Dark Knight Detective we all know and love? And will this bare-knuckled take on Batman's beginnings take flight in that dimly lit back alley known as ... The Comics Canon?
