Chronological MillerBats storytime, Part 1: Batman: Year One

>>77521215
Why Holy Terror? It's not like DKIII will reference it or anything.

>>77521215
Is correct

I read it as sort of explaining why All-Star Batman is a lunatic.

Please include Holy Terror!

>>77521263
That makes sense. It is a pretty stark contrast in characterization between Y1 Bats and ASBAR Bats.

Best thing about Miller is these internal monologues.

Also, Mazzucchelli's Batman design is still my favorite.

>I hate it when she cries

I only just realized Joker's "But she's beautiful when she cries" is a reference to this

>>77521634
Didn't something like this happen IRL at some point?

>>77521854
Yeah, and Joker's disaffected narration from TDKR is also redone in his bit of ASBAR.

Miller ties back when he can

HAHA TIME FOR TERROR

>>77521424
It also has the first meeting of Batman and Catwoman as well as the first Batcave.

I think of it as a film version of what actually happened within the DKR universe, but for legal reasons identities and locations were changed.

>>77522151
Oh, and also continues the chronicle of Gordon's trauma

>>77522229
Yeah, this page and the final page make it all worth while

>>77522304
The hilarious amount of....passion between these two is maybe the most entertaining factor

>anaconda

I thought anacondas weren't venemous

They're not

Although with a lot of wild carnivore bites you run the risk of death even without venom because there's usually rotting flesh and bacteria between their jaws and teeth

Good

Yeah, it's more like in the regular DCU, Y1 and other circumstances didn't make Bruce completely crazy.

I mean Batman was rough on some criminals in Y1 (he punched a cop through a wall) but in All Star he was gleefully running down cops (without killing them somehow) like he was Marv from Sin City. Him going through the events of Holy Terror would really explain why he goes on a different path than Post-COIE/Pre-Flashpoint Batman.

Here's a small screenshot of a video from back when it was still a Batman project to see the changes.

Jesus, Frank. And they they call Bendis lazy....

>>77525741
At least he had a clear purpose for doing that. Even in >>77522981
when you see talking heads Miller seemed to have drawn out most of them.

I believe Ed Piskor talked about that in his comics, although I'm not sure you mean this.

Ooo, sounds good to me.

If we consider Millerverse in the same timeline, Batman was anti police in ASBAR, but pro police in holy terror and then DKR before Gordon steps down. Even has support of most of the locals and media in DKR, unlike ASBAR.

>I mean Batman was rough on some criminals in Y1 (he punched a cop through a wall)
He shot at a cat, man. FUCK that guy. I love that Batman singles him out for that, he's so damn righteous in Y1 it gives me a hero-boner everytime.
