Batman: Year One is a four part comic book story about Batman published by DC Comics in Detective Comics #575-578, written by Mike W. Barr and pencilled by Paul Neary, Alfredo Alcala, Mark Farmer, and Todd McFarlane in 1987. The story focus on Batman' confrontation with the previous and murderous vigilante of Gotham City and his romance with his daughter, during his second year in Gotham City, fighting against crime.
The story is set after Batman: Year One when James Gordon is made Police Commissioner and thanks mainly to Batman, has already cleaned Gotham City from most of its governmental corruption. Gordon's rank would also indicates that the events also happen after Batman: Dark Moon Rising, Batman: The Man Who Laughs and Batman: The Long Halloween, all in which Gordon is still a Police Captain, but the fact that the Long Halloween starts in October of Batman's second year and ends a year later, along with the retconing of Zero Hour, take the Year Two story out of the current continuity.
The story is followed in Batman: Year Three.
