Sneak Peek of the Batman: Year One Animated Film

Behind the scenes of Warner Bros. Animation's next DC Animated film.

In the special features section of the Green Lantern: Emerald Knights DVD, there's a sneak peek of the upcoming DC Animated Film, Batman: Year One that we've got here for your viewing pleasure. It's more of a behind the scenes documentary about the creation of the animated film, but it does feature some early voice work from the cast and artwork. Year One stars Ben McKenzie as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Bryan Cranston as James Gordon, Eliza Dushku as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Katee Sackhoff as Sarah Essen, and Alex Rocco as Carmine Falcone.

Based on writer Frank Miller and artist David Mazzucchelli's saga of the same name, Batman: Year One, tells the story of Bruce Wayne's beginnings as Batman. In Year One, a young Bruce Wayne has spent his adolescence and early adulthood, traveling the world so he could hone his body and mind into the perfect fighting and investigative machine. But now as he returns to Gotham City, he must find a way to focus his passion and bring justice to his city. Retracing Batman’s first attempts to fight injustice as a costumed vigilante, we watch as he chooses a guise of a giant bat, creates an early bond with a young Lieutenant James Gordon, inadvertently plays a role in the birth of Catwoman, and helps to bring down a corrupt political system that infests Gotham.

Batman: Year One is set to hit stores on September 27th from Warner Bros. Animation.
