Batman: Year One 4K 2011

Earlier, in the old days, there were established stereotypes: movies - for adults, cartoons - for children. But today, more and more often, animators are proving to us that animation is a serious thing, and in this case, realistic and dark.

After numerous children's animated series about Batman, on which more than one generation of fans of superheroes has grown up, older people are not interested in old cartoons, but the hero always remains beloved. And such interesting, truly adult cartoons are a good outlet for fans of the bat man (who, by the way, are already spoiled) and do not let them forget about him.

In addition, for most viewers, the cartoon will also be interesting because the main part of the screen time is occupied not by the hero himself, but by a person who was almost constantly in the shadows: Commissioner Jim Gordon. In the old TV series of the 1960s, he was portrayed as a decrepit old man, in children's cartoons, he got rather mediocre plot roles, in old films of the 1990s, minimal episodes. Only in new films by Mr. Nolan's image of Commissioner Gordon began to unfold and grow. As for this picture, here, as mentioned above, Commissioner Gordon is placed above the darkest knight. Here he is a young, strong, honest cop in the most criminal and corrupt (such cities are always the most criminal and corrupt), as well as a loving (though not without sin) husband and father.

In short, the cartoon tells about the difficult first heroic everyday life of two heroes (Batman and Gordon) and the formation of their cooperation. The picture is beautiful, but gloomy (this is, after all, an adaptation of Mr. Miller's graphic novel), the plot is serious, sometimes dramatic, sometimes pretentious. It doesn't make you think about the cruelty of the world around you. In a word, an interesting psychological animated movie about a super-hero and a super-cop.
