How is the best product and best price in town thanks Best Buy

This is one of the better animated Batman movies that I’ve seen. I personal enjoyed it being that you get to see a young Jim Gordon and Bruce Wayne in action.

I really like these graphic novel and blu ray sets! It’s the same trill I get out of seeing a movie adaptation of a book I’ve read, all in one.

For $10 to receive a hard cover graphic novel with a dvd and blu ray of the movie was perfect. I plan on buying the other ones available.

Anytime that Frank Miller is working on batman it is amazing. Well worth the watch let alone with the reprint of the comic. Very cool

After spending many years abroad, Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham City to fulfill the vow to rid it of crime that he made to his deceased parents when he was a boy. At the same time, Chicago cop James Gordon moves to Gotham to start with the GCPD. Soon, Bruce adopts the identity of the Batman and makes war on Gotham’s crime families, with James Gordon hot on his tail as the cop tries to take down the vigilante crime fighter. I love origin stories. The mythology of characters, their history, their motivations, the events leading up to the creation of a super identity—all of it’s gold in my book. Batman: Year One is such a story, giving you not only Batman’s origin, but the chance to walk a mile in his shoes during his first year as a crime fighter. You get to see him test the waters, make mistakes, have some wins and losses, and watch as he earns the trust of Gotham’s finest. This movie is a down-to-earth story about Batman and James Gordon, very much a crime story versus a superhero-vs-supervillain tale. Batman deals with real world criminals in real world ways. You also get a glimpse into the hard life he leads, what he gives up to be Batman, and how he balances life as a fool in the public eye so he could be a fear to the criminal underworld at night. You also get to see a different side of James Gordon, the marriage trouble, his humanity, and the plight of being a good cop in a bad town. His portrayal makes him every bit a hero as Batman in this story. This flick is based on the one-shot comic book by comics superstar Frank Millar and matches the book’s style for the most part, really bringing it to life. This is a story of beginnings so the pacing is different than what most people are used to, and instead of having a beginning, middle, big lead up to a climax then end, it has—to me, anyway—more of a beginning, middle and then part of an end because it’s really a prequel to all the other Batman stories that come after it. Which is fine. It works, but I remember going, “Is that it?” when it ended after I first watched it. I’m glad that Batman’s first year was brought to the small screen and I hope more first year stories are made for other heroes. Superman next would be great.

A true tale of how the Dark Knight came to be and watch over Gotham. Not for the easily offended, this bat has fangs!

I love DC comics base movies, they are entertaining and close to the classics no crazy Character change.

Batman Year One is a good movie for any fan that likes the Dark Knight, and the graphic novel is a must have.

Honestly, I can't wait for them to come out with the next one, year two.

This graphic novel is a full size hard cover with the blu rays in the back. It's really nice.

You get the graphic novel and the movie. I was able to get it for a great price too.

This is a new vision of the original story of how Batman became the caped crusader.

As someone who owns earlier releases of both the Batman Year One comic and animated movie, let me say that this is a great repackaging. Honestly, this is great approach for DC to take. The hardcover comic is printed on slightly higher quality paper than the paperback version without the movie. Also, the discs in this set are identical to the previous release. That means the solid commentary track, the great Catwoman short, and all the other bonus features are present on the disc. The movie itself is a solid adaptation. There are few differences here and there, but that's how an adaptation works. Frankly, the changes are nice and aren't even big changes. They work to help the pacing of the movie. As great as the comic is, some of it wouldn't translate to page as well. The cast is solid. Bryan Cranston is fantastic a Jim Gordon. Eliza Dushku is solid a Selina Kyle. The weakest link is probably Ben McKenzie's Bruce/Batman. He's not bad, but he doesn't shine the way the rest of the cast does. Overall, if you want to see the movie and read the comic, this is the set for you!

Enjoyed Tnank you.

Great deal for a hard cover book and bluray movie. Soo glad I found this!

A great value for what you get! A definite must buy for any Batman fanatic.

I love the live action films but this one is pretty nice I highly recommend it.

The best Batman comic book movie ever. All Batman lover should own

The story is great and the disc is kept tight in the back cover.
