Batman: Year One The Art Work

Batman: Year One uses an adaptation of color artwork which resembles
the use of black and white film footage, which in turn gives the reader
the feeling of glimpsing into a dark and gritty world which could
be inhabited by a realistic Batman.

If you would like to see what Batman would look
like if he had in fact walked the street of New York City
at the worst of times, you should definitely take a look
at Batman: Year One

Batman: Year One

The mythology of the Batman character has reached epic proportions in today's cultural media.
It's far reaching appeal is based on the universal appeal of a comic book character whose qualities are
within practical reach to any comic book reader that would devote himself to becoming an expert in
the science of crime fighting.

While Batman has traditionally been a comic book superhero aimed at children, this starting changing during Neal Adam's more adult rendition of this legend. This change became even more profound during Frank Miller's interpretation of the origin and beginning of Batman's career as shown in Batman: Year One.

Frank Miller used Batman: Year One as a platform to showcase the story of a reality based Batman that took the streets of New York during an era reminiscent of New York's troubled era of the 70's and 80's.
Batman makes his first crime fighting attempt in an area that is hauntingly similar to the formerly notorious Times Square.

What makes Batman: Year One such a dramatic rendition of the Dark Knight is its what if appeal. The reader gets to see what a Batman in real life would have realistically experienced and felt while combating crime in a modern era.
