Exiled: A Jim Gordon Story


Tonight on Animation Aficionados, we cover Batman: Year One. This is an animated movie based off the groundbreaking graphic novel and post-crisis reboot of Batman after Crisis. I appreciate what the movie intended to do, however in the end, I think the movie overall fell short.

Topics Covered:

The Art missing the rawness
Being too literal in an adaptation
Classic Noir storytelling

The Catwoman Short is Better

We have some bonus material from Space Captain Steve as well!

Bonus Topics:
Toon Link is not bad
Ahnuld’s commentaries are GOLD!
