Bruce Wayne Learns The Vigilante Ropes In ‘Batman: Year One’ Trailer

Warner Bros has released this trailer for Batman: Year One so that we’re all very clear that Bruce Wayne‘s parents were murdered and years later he saw a bat and that prompted him to karate chop brick piles and become Batman. We’re all good on those facts now, right?

Adapted from Frank Miller‘s classic graphic novel (which served as an influence to Nolan’s Batman), the animated film follows Bruce Wayne through his first year as Batman, back when he was still super-pissed about the whole murder of his parents thing. The O.C.‘s Ben McKenzie stars as Batman (naturally) with Bryan Cranston as Jim Gordon, Katee Sackhoff as Sarah Essen, and Eliza Dushku as Catwoman. Because everyone knows that Catwoman has a wicked Boston accent.
