    I love that Batman: Year One is just as much Jim Gordon's story as it is Bruce's. It's (currently) my #2 DCAU movie behind Batman Dark Knight Returns Part One, and I'm constantly rehashing that list to swap it to #1. I haven't had the chance to read the comic, but I should make time for it because it sounds 1:1 with the movie, so I know I'd love it just as much as the movie.

      @Julian Desa I recently watched Phatasm for the first time and enjoyed it, but not nearly as much as Year One or DKR. Also, I just use DCAU as a catch-all term for the DC Animated movies. With how many times the universe has been reset, I couldn't be bothered with which time line goes where or what movies are apart of what, lol.

    So I was reading year one recently for the first time and overall thought it was alright. Pretty action packed which I really enjoyed. However, there was something that stuck out to me. When you first see Bruce he is coming home to Gotham after spending years training abroad. This implies that he had already decided he wanted to become a crime fighter. I wish we could have seen this in the comic just cause I would have liked to see the actual moment he decides he wants to fight crime, rather than seeing him after he had finished preparing for it
