A-

Marital infidelity, child prostitution and civic corruption are bluntly (although tastefully) displayed - it just so happens that there's also a guy zipping around town in a bat suit.

With an extremely short running time, it manages to capture the essence of what made the comic book work so well. [Full review in Spanish]

3/5

The movie looks great, with a moody use of shadows and darkness and dreary, lowdown locations.

4/10

A stale adaptation of the classic Frank Miller comic. The film drowns in bad voice work and lacks the visual nuances found in the original story.

Not just Batman's tale, but it's also Commissioner Gordon's tale...

Very good and true to the comic in my opinion, action packed and all around fun. Its not just Batman's story, its Jim Gordon's as well.

A decent enough addition, but nothing special to make it stand out.

Little to say, followed the comic quite strictly. Liked the voice casting.

Dark and sincere, Batman: Year One might not be inventive or original for that matter, but its solid voice cast and visuals compensate for most of the way.
