“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! :)

Probably my first comic, and first encounter with Batman outside of the movies. The artstyle has both the dynamic poses and action, but without the ultra cleanliness and sharpness. The author and artist use grit without abandon and it makes sense: Gotham is a city where the filth refuses to fade. I do have issues in reading it, especially as I'm not used to the way everything is so jam-packed within small panels. The cursive is also something to get used to, but it's a stylistic choice that I understand.

I didn't really like Batman tbf, however, having Gordon tell half of the story and reconciling their different views was something that kept me reading each page.
