Batman: Year One is an all-time great
Year one Find exciting new depths in Batman’s origin
After these Crisis on Infinite EarthsDC began revamping their biggest icons for the 1980s, using some of comics’ biggest names to do so.

Miller, who already had the classic Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Under his belt, together with David Mazzucchelli for Year one. As the name implies, the story tells the early days of Batman’s war on crime.

Until then Batman: Year One Seen in print, the backstory of the Dark Knight was familiar to comic fans around the world, but Miller and Mazzucchili managed to give it new and exciting layers that wowed fans. This commitment to exploring Batman’s origins is perhaps best seen on the cover Batman #404, the first part of Year one.
