Sometimes careless and naive, this Dark Knight is far from the flawless vigilante he is today. In his first year on the job, Batman feels his way around a Gotham City far darker than the one he left. His solemn vow to extinguish the town's criminal element is only half the battle. Along with Lieutenant James Gordon, the Dark Knight must also fight a police force more corrupt than the scum in the streets. \u003ci\u003eBatman: Year One\u003c\/i\u003e stands next to \u003ci\u003eBatman: The Dark Knight Returns\u003c\/i\u003e on the mantle of greatest \u003ci\u003eBatman\u003c\/i\u003e graphic novels of all time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis edition includes the complete graphic novel and a new introduction by David Mazzucchelli.
