Batman: Year One by Frank Miller, David Mazzucchelli

4.0

It's a be-all-end-all Batman story for a reason. The art is stunning, the story tight, and there's a clear arc and sense of geography to the entire story. But wow, does Miller not know how to write a sympathetic character. With Bruce Wayne, it works, because we can see how maybe he'll soften under the influence of Robin. But with Jim Gordon... there's little to like, and his redeeming quality, supposedly that he's not corrupt and is less violent than the rest of the GCPD, doesn't pan out through his actions, making his instead sole redeeming quality that he doesn't hate Batman.
