Just finished reading batman year one my question is....

[chosen1]

Frank Miller did make some money off of this film right?

[CConn]

I somewhat remember news of a bevy of writers getting some cash for it. Miller, Loeb, O'Neil...guys like that. I think, at least - it was quite awhile ago that I heard about it.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Yes, it happened about 2 or 4 weeks after Batman Begins was released in theathers.

But,.......Year One and Batman Begins aren't really that much alike. The comparisons can probably be made on one hand alone.

[CConn]

Really, the most BB did was take some scenes from and make some homages to YO. It terms of plot, tone, moral-of-the-story, etc. they were quite different.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I mean, the only thing I'd say was directly taken from Year One would have to be Jim Gordon. That whole Good cop, stuck in a corrupt GCPD thing is all Year One.

But, Loeb.....Flass......drastically changed really. In some ways, Falcone too.

And yeah, there's homages.....like the Bat-swarm device.

Batman, I'd say, is totally different though. Much more focused by the time he retrurns to Gotham....whereas Miller's Bruce/Batman is still very much lost....not as direct.
