I saw it on PS3's thing, checked it out and saw that there were special features advertised with it, but it doesn't tell which ones, only the length of time and I really doubt that several shorts fit in the 24 minutes.

I pirated it and will buy it later. Would have bought it on PS3, but I want what I pay for, not less which is what it seems to be offering. I can't get out to the story right now so meh. It's one of the few movie studios that are guaranteed purchase for me as DCAU is awesome.

Also yeah... the movie was good. Not perfect (they left some stuff out and i want it all in!), but great.

Was only one special feature at the end....guess they cut it down from the blu-ray version. Documentary short called "Heart of Vengeance : Returning Batman to His Roots". Was dated 2011, so it's a new piece. Basically clips of various DC writers and artists that worked on the Bat titles after the 60's TV show went away (notably absent but talked about a LOT was Frank Miller) talking about how they transitioned Batman away from the camp of the 50's and 60's to what he is today.

all right, bought it, enjoyed it, though it seems odd to call it Batman: Year One, when it was more about Gordon than Bruce >.>

So was the comic really, I thought it was pretty faithful, left a few things out but overall a very good job.

Yeah, I felt about the same. And I enjoyed it about like I enjoy a bowl of oatmeal: it was good, it was wholesome, it was filling, but it's nothing to get excited about.

And there you'll always be

That's the same reaction it always gets...

One could argue that Batman isn't Batman without Gordon so in a way having it more about Gordon is a way of acknowledging that fact.

and the title Batman and Gordon: Year One, isn't as catchy :3

But James & Bruce is as is Wayne & Gordon...

TBH, glad I rented it on iTunes instead of buying it. The movie translation was as good as can be expected, but after reading Batgirl: Year One...Batman: Year One isn't really the (Year One) origin story I like best.
