Has anyone seen these DC direct-to-video animated movies of Batman: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns? I have. I own them both on Blu-ray, although I don't own The Dark Knight Returns Parts 1 & 2, I just own The Dark Knight Returns: Deluxe Edition. (Basically it's Parts 1 & 2 edited together to form one giant movie.)

Anyway, what can I say about Batman: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns? While I enjoyed both movies, there's just something about Dark Knight Returns that elevates it above Batman: Year One for me. I don't know if it's the voice acting or the story itself but something about Dark Knight Returns is just all around "better" than Batman: Year One. But that's not to say that Batman: Year One's a slouch because it's not, in fact, I think if they had directly translated Batman: Year One to the silver screen, and if they wanted to start an interconnected universe earlier, Batman: Year One would have been the perfect starting point.
