Here's the studio's official description: "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.

"Primetime television stars Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Ben McKenzie (Southland, The O.C.), Eliza Dushku (Dollhouse, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica) provide the core voices for Batman: Year One. Three-time Emmy® Award winner Cranston gives voice to young Jim Gordon, while McKenzie makes his animated voiceover debut as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Fanboy favorites Dushku and Sackhoff fill the roles of Selina Kyle/Catwoman and Detective Sarah Essen, respectively. Alex Rocco (The Godfather) is the voice of crime lord Carmine Falcone.

"Animation master Bruce Timm is executive producer of Batman: Year One. Directors are Lauren Montgomery (Superman/Batman: Apocalypse) and Sam Liu (All-Star Superman) from a script penned by Academy Award® nominee Tab Murphy (Gorillas in the Mist, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse).

looks good but its sad when cartoons make the eyeballs the same color of the skin. it was ok in the 1960s when animatin was more crude but laziness does not equate to style anymore

I agree with blackpantherfan - this is not the voice of batman in my opinion. He sounds like an under age teenager trying to buy alcohol in a store

i know everyone is kind of tired of batman and superman, and DC animation has put out great stuff, but come on there r other characters that need some love. i personally want to see a full length Spectre movie (sorry if its spelled wrong i'm a bit drunk) or a blood syndicate one, hell i'd even take a good savage dragon movie or animated feature.

IMHO, I don't think anyone can be tired of Batman and Superman.

This is going to be amazing just like nearly all of the DC animated movies!!

The problem is that each time Warners has tried a non-Superman or Batman related film, the sales just haven't been there. It's why there are so many Superman, Batman, Superman/Batman and Justice League films.

all i could think of is Ed Wuncler Sr.... even looks liek him!

@Jordanstine

Sure you can. We can be tired of seeing a variation of the same damned origin.

Loving the clean lines in the animation - and the 'lighting' effects are brilliant. This will sell by the boatload. CANNOT wait!

@Batman1x

Yeah, I mean i would even take a solid animated feature but they won't even give him a shot.

It is only like that cause they are copying the design of the characters in the book.
