Today I bought the trade of Batman: Year One and I just finished it. I thought it was great! Is Year Two as good? Also, I plan on picking up Batgirl: Year One, which I heard is good. (I'd like to see a Robin: Year One). I ordered in a Batman trade from when Tim Drake becomes Robin and am looking forward to picking that up on Wednesday. I like Tim a lot. Anyway, just wanted your views on some of these books. And I have a question...
There is a Robin:Year One, I know nothing about it though... I've heard Batman:Year Two is "not as good" as Year One, but I don't recall if it's "not good" over all...
You see to be making a lot Batman related post lately, Wolf... any reason why?
Well, I'm more of a Marvel fan, but recently I've gotten more into some DC stuff (though I like Marvel more). There are a lot of Batman stories I haven't read and I was just interested in reading this. I knew Barbara was his wife after getting into the book a ways, but I still can't imagine his daughter being so much younger than Bruce (I would think she'd be a lot younger, but not 20+ years younger). I'm also a big fan of Robin (more than I am of Batman) and being that Robin is so connected to Batman I'm interested in reading more about each of the Robins. (I like Spoiler as Robin, but think Tim will take it back up based on some stuff in Identity Crisis #1 and the fact that future covers of Teen Titans still show Tim as Robin). I also have recently gotten a job so I have more money to invest in my comic book hobby. As such, I've been playing heroclix now and have a large number of them. It's a great game and it's helped get me more into the DC universe. I was getting more into it because of Teen Titans and Batman/Superman (which really started getting me more interested in Batman, in addition to the Hush storyline, though I stopped collecting the book after that because I didn't like it as much then). I have read The Dark Knight Returns and didn't really like it that much (I prefer the Superman and Batman friendship) but I did like Frank Miller's work on Year One. Right now is a really good time for collecting comics, I think. There are some great books out from Marvel and DC and some great things in the near future (THE RETURN OF HAL JORDAN!!! Green Lantern is one of my favorite DC heroes, the Hal Green Lantern is). Anyway, I'll try to buy A Death in the Family soon, so I can read about Jason Todd's death. There are lots of things I know about but haven't really read. I'm also planning on getting Batgirl: Year One, like I said, and I'll have to look into that Robin: Year One. I'm also in search of the Graduation Day trade. Sorry I went on so long, but I'm a comic book nut. My dad has tons of old comics himself, and so I must get it from him.
EDIT: I may or may not get The Killing Joke. To this day I hate that it was decided to cripple Barbara (though I do like the new batgirl). Also I've heard some things and I probably wouldn't like it very much.

I love Year One. I like it as much, if not more, than The Dark Knight Returns.
James Gordon rocks, and hopefuly they will show this on the new movie. More than Batman Year One, it's Gordon Year One.
Year two is definitively not as good, especially the art. While the art in year one is awesome, here they switch artists after the first part.
And the new artist is TODD MCFARLANE. (who inks the first part, BTW)
I have not read the last part of the story, but I'm guessing that...
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
...this is the comic that inspired Mask of the Phantasm. HA!
End of Spoiler
Regarding your spoiler cuestion, I really don't know. I'm guessing that..
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
Sarah and Gordon eventually end together, as shown in DK.
Also, I think Sarah is kiled by the Joker in current comic continuity. I'm not sure. I hope I am wrong on that.
What happens to Barbara and the kid? No idea.
End of Spoiler
