[New post] Sneak Peek of Batman: Year One animated film

Sneak Peek of Batman: Year One animated film


Based on the 1987 storyline by Frank Miller and David Mazzuchelli that ran through four issues of Detective Comics, the latest DCU animated feature is a very dark shade of film noir. Set in the early days of Bruce Wayne's career as Batman, it portrays his awkward first steps toward becoming the world's greatest crime fighter. As Wayne returns to his home city after traveling the globe to learn the skills he will need in order to combat the forces of evil, a young Jim Gordon also arrives with his wife and daughter, unsure of what to make of the big city.

Batman: Year One is a story about the relationship between Gordon and Wayne, but it also looks at the germination of the strange world of colorful madmen and women who later populate its streets. A brutal exploration of urban decay and political corruption, it is also a thrilling adventure and gripping drama. Even speaking as someone who is tired to tears at seeing yet another animated Batman feature, this should make for a fantastic film.

Once again the voice cast is all new for these characters with Bryan Cranston (AMC's Breaking Bad) as Jim Gordan (before he was a Commissioner), 's Bryan Cranston will voice Jim Gordon, Ben McKenzie (the OC, Southland) as Batman and Eliza Dushku as Catwoman. Battlestar Galactica's Katie Sackhoff will star as the voice of Detective Sarah Essen, who becomes intimately involved with Jim Gordon as he finds himself embroiled in the dark under belly of Gotham City's police department.

Batman: Year One will be released direct to DVD in the autumn, but fans will get an early glimpse when it makes its world premiere at the San Diego Comic-Con next month. The DVD will also feature a Catwoman animated short.
