Batman: Year One - Frank Miller & David Mazzuchelli

Very good and beautifully drawn, but perhaps a little underwhelming. Probably just because it's such a familiar story by now. After the epic crash-bang-wallop of the Nolan films - and the attendant excitement in the run-up to the third one - it's hard not to be underwhelmed by a fairly simple version of the story without much fanfare (much current fanfare, anyway). It is very well-written though, and it's easy to see how it's influenced the Nolan films' scripts. Also, I like the placing of Gordon in a more central role than usual. He makes a good, relatable counter-protagonist to Batman.
