It presents the definitive origin of Batman, chronicling Bruce Wayne's first year as the Dark Knight and his early confrontations with Gotham's criminal underworld, alongside the parallel story of Lieutenant James Gordon's arrival in a corrupt city.

"Chapter One: Who I Am How I Came to Be" from Batman: Year One – The Deluxe Edition (2017) captures the raw, grounded genesis of Gotham’s Dark Knight and a cop determined to clean the city from within. Written by Frank Miller and illustrated with gritty precision by David Mazzucchelli—whose pencils and inks define the cover—this landmark story follows Bruce Wayne’s first steps into vigilantism and Jim Gordon’s brutal initiation into a corrupt police force. A single bat’s flight becomes a turning point, igniting a transformation that will shape two destinies.
In "Chapter One: Who I Am How I Came to Be" from Batman: Year One - The Deluxe Edition, Bruce Wayne arrives in Gotham with a purpose, testing his training in a brutal street fight that leaves him wounded and questioning his path. Meanwhile, Jim Gordon steps into a corrupt GCPD, learning the hard way that doing the right thing comes at a steep price. When a bat suddenly cuts through the night sky, Bruce finds a spark of purpose in the darkness.
In "Chapter Two: War Is Declared" from Batman: Year One - The Deluxe Edition, Bruce Wayne steps into the shadows as Batman, determined to purge Gotham of its rot. As his crusade against corruption escalates, the city’s corrupt officials turn the police force against him, setting the stage for a violent clash between justice and authority.
In "Chapter Three: Black Dawn" from Batman: Year One - The Deluxe Edition, Batman finds himself trapped in a city-wide manhunt, with the police closing in and no clear path to freedom. With his instincts tested and every move scrutinized, he must rely on every lesson learned in the shadows to outwit those who believe they’ve finally caught him.
