Batman Years

BATMAN YEARS
In the years following Frank Miller's groundbreaking and arguably character-defining Batman: Year One, DC Comics returned to the well to fill in the readers on the Dark Knight's subsequent early years.  This afforded them the opportunity to inform us all how and when things occurred in the post-Crisis DC Comics landscape.
