In 2015, DC released a hardcover of Year One ( ISBN 1401260047) which included its 2011 animated film adaptation on both DVD and Blu-ray. a b Schedeen, Jesse (March 28, 2012).

Year One distances itself from the more extravagant excesses of the Batman franchises. Few of Batman's rogues are active at this point in his career. Selina Kyle is present, but Miller infamously overhauled her origin to make Selina a prostitute inspired by batman's vigilante actions. One of the only disappointing aspects of the story is that Selina's role doesn't amount to more in the end. The conclusion is also a bit underwhelming relative to the rest of the book. But neither of these complaints do much to diminish Year One's status as a gripping and highly influential Batman drama. Batman: Year One Animated Update". worldsfinestonline.com. June 13, 2010.

The story recounts Batman's first year as a crime-fighter as well as exploring the life of recently transferred Gotham police detective James Gordon – eventually building towards their first encounter and their eventual alliance against Gotham's criminal underworld. a b c Greenfield, Dan (September 22, 2014). "The DENNY O'NEIL INTERVIEWS — Batman: Year One". 13th Dimension . Retrieved May 20, 2018. But the true genius of Year One is how Miller placed an equal amount of focus on the life of Lt. James Gordon. Gordon became a much stronger and more identifiable character with this story, and the way the two men follow mostly separate but parallel journeys helps keep the story lively from start to finish. After the critical failure of Batman & Robin, several attempts were made to reboot the Batman film franchise with an adaptation of Year One. Joss Whedon and Joel Schumacher both pitched their own takes. [3] In 2000, Warner Bros. hired Darren Aronofsky to write and direct Batman: Year One. The film was to be written by Miller, who finished an early draft of the script. [21] [22] The script, however, was a loose adaptation, as it kept most of the themes and elements from the graphic novel but shunned other conventions that were otherwise integral to the character. [23] It was shelved by the studio in 2001, [24] after an individual who claimed to have read Miller's script published a negative review on Ain't It Cool News. [3] In 2016, Miller explained that the film was canceled because of creative differences between him, Aronofsky, and Warner Bros: [25] a b c d e f g Weldon, Glen (2016).

In 2005, Christopher Nolan began his series with the reboot film Batman Begins, which draws inspiration from "Year One" and other stories.

Major characters like Commissioner Loeb, Detective Flass and Carmine 'The Roman' Falcone are featured prominently in Batman Begins. Film critic Michael Dodd argued that with each major motion picture focused on the Dark Knight's origins, the odes and references to the Year One comic increased. Comparing Mask of the Phantasm with Batman Begins he noted that "...Phantasm was a Batman story with Year One elements, while Batman Begins was a Year One story with added features".
