Warner Home Entertainment sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the upcoming animated adaptation of Frank Miller’s Batman: Year One.
Batman: Year One is based on the landmark 1987 DC Comics titles from 12-time Eisner Award winner Frank Miller and illustrator David Mazzucchelli. The film depicts young Bruce Wayne’s return to Gotham City in his first attempts to fight injustice as a costumed vigilante. The playboy billionaire chooses the guise of a giant bat to combat crime, creates an early bond with a young Lieutenant James Gordon (who is already battling corruption from inside the police department), inadvertently plays a role in the birth of Catwoman, and helps to bring down a crooked political system that infests Gotham.

Gave me goose bumps! Been waiting for the master Bruce Timm to do this 1 for years. And just think soon we get a 2 part Dark Knight! cant wait!
I heard about this but didn’t know Timmy was heading it up.
Oh God yes. So excited.
*Timm. stupid auto correct.
Dang. He’s theatrical. waits impatiently for the movie, (now why won’t DC let Timm handle a full length summer blockbuster?)
So are they putting him peeing himself in the movie?
Man, who knew that dude from The O.C. could make such a great Batman voice? I mean, he has a good voice but man, that was awesome, actually awesome, awe inspiring really, I hope he gets invited to do more of Bats voice acting in the future.
Got to see this at SDCC, its really goddamn awesome
