Episode 251: Revisiting the Batman: Year One Comic & Adaptation

  Released in 1987, Batman: Year One by Frank Miller and David Mazzuchelli is arguably one of the most famous Batman stories ever printed. It has frequently been cited as a source of inspiration for films like Batman Begins and The Batman, as well as other media adaptations. With the Joker: Year One storyline having just been released, TBU hosts Scott, BJ, and Adil revisit Batman: Year One, both the comic book and its cinematic adaptation from 2011.  They discuss likes and dislikes from the point, examining the narrative from a fresh perspective that can only be found on the TBU Podcast!
