5 REASONS TO BUY BATMAN: YEAR ONE ON DVD

Hello Class,

Today I'm going to give you 5 reasons to pick up Batman: Year One on DVD:









 Origin of Batman
In 1987 Frank Miller wrote Batman: Year One and changed the way we see Batman today. From this book we see how Batman became the Dark Knight Detective. Miller gave Batman a reason to exist as Gotham City was so corrupt that it needed a Batman to give it hope. Without this book and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Christopher Nolan and Tim Burton would have had nothing to draw from for their films.

Origin of Jim Gordon
The animated movie like the comic book focuses on Jim Gordon, a former Chicago police detective who returns home to Gotham City with his pregnant wife. Jim Gordon is a cop who has lost faith in the system and hates the corruption in Gotham but refuses to be corrupted by the Gotham Police.

He finds an ally in Batman and the two begin a friendship that will bring hope to Gotham.

Action and Animation
For fans of Batman and comics there is a lot of action in this film and the animation is beautiful. All the characters pop off of the screen.

Catwoman
This movie also features the origin story of Selina Kyle aka Catwoman as a prostitute in Gotham with her young friend Holly. There is also a Catwoman animated short film written by Paul Dini (Batman: TAS and Superman: TAS) that shows Catwoman as a sexy and powerful woman and it has a connection to the Batman: Year One animated movie.

Eliza Dushku
Catwoman/Selina is voiced in the feature-length movie and the short by Eliza Dushku (Buffy, Angel, Bring It On!). ELIZA. DUSHKU. IS. THE. VOICE. OF. CATWOMAN. Need I say more? So Go Buy it!!!

This movie is definitely for teenagers and adults but also it's easy to understand whether you're a comic book fan like me or not.
