dark emotional tense fast-paced

4.25

This is a very good Batman graphic novel, and shout out to my friend and boyfriend for recommending it, but the only Batman content I was ever invested in was the show Gotham and omg the war flashbacks....
Because Gotham is how Batman starts out, and so is this graphic novel so uh a few times I had to stop reading to pause just so I could try to forget my teeange, queer baited self
Anyway besides my own tv trauma! This is a very gritty and tense introduction to Batman! And I like that the author commented that he thinks Batman shouldn't be silly or like Adam West's 60s portrayal - I like that version too, but it's cool to have a more serious Batman
The art style is also pretty good and the characters are very raw and intense!!

“To bring an innocent child to life, in a city without hope...”

I’ve been wanting to get into comics for a little while now (specifically ones involving the batfam) and “Batman: Year One” was recommended to me as a beginning point — so it’s admittedly the first comic that I’ve ever read (which makes it a bit difficult to rate & review it). With that being said I will keep this review relatively simple & just say that it was nice getting some background information on the characters featured in this volume! :)
