Now, first of all I must admit that I am not overly keen on superheroes and comic book heroes, nor can I claim to be familiar with the comic book works upon which this 2011 DC animated movie is based upon.
But still, I sat down here in 2019 and watched "Batman: Year One" together with my nine year old son. And it turned out that we both were actually rather entertained by what transpired on the screen. Me having to explain that this was sort of the first time people of Gotham City would come to know about Batman to my son, because he was wondering why the police were shooting at him.
I enjoyed this pseudo-origin story, especially because I have no idea what the origin of Batman really is or is supposed to be portrayed like. So I was like a blank slate, and I ended up being entertained by the storyline here.
The animation style and the art was enjoyable, and felt much like a mixture of the classic 1980s cartoons I grew up on and with some elements of the more modern type of animations today. So that was a nice combination that worked out well.
For an animated movie, then having the right ensemble of voice actors and actresses is make or break. And I will say that the various talents they had scrounged up for "Batman: Year One" was actually quite good.
"Batman: Year One" is enjoyable and watchable for all, even for non-hardcore fans of Batman, such as myself.
