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.

In 2005, Christopher Nolan began his series with the reboot film Batman Begins, which draws inspiration from "Year One" and other stories. [3] Batman Begins and its sequel The Dark Knight are set during the same timespan and adopt several elements directly from the graphic novel. 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". [26] The film's end scene, with Gordon revealing the Joker's arrival in Gotham, mirrors the end of Year One. 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. a b Schedeen, Jesse (March 28, 2012).

Journalist James Lovegrove described "Year One" as a "noir-inflected pulp tale of vigilantism and integrity, focused on a good man doing the right thing in a dirty world" and noted the brutality of the fight sequences. [15] Jason Serafino ( Complex) wrote that by ignoring many of Batman's trademark gadgets and villains and focusing in the core essentials of the titular character, Miller managed to present Batman in a relatable and thrilling way, which felt both fresh, unique and reinvigorating, while still being faithful to the spirit of the character. [16] Goldstein found every moment memorable, writing "Miller does not waste a single panel" in presenting a gritty and dark story.
