Date: 2015-11-22 09:59 am (UTC)I have a lot of issues with Miller's other Batman work (even Dark Knight Returns with its REALLY right wing leanings), but Year One pretty much acted as a good springboard for later, better series. Such as the Brubaker/Cooke Catwoman series (which is still one of my all time favourites), Gotham Central and Scott Snyder's Batman stuff.
And although the legislation in the 1950s did "castrate" a number of heroes, it also enabled them to go outside the box and try new things. If it wasn't for the CCA we wouldn't have Batgirl, the Martian Manhunter, Barry Allen, Hal Jordan etc. etc.
Though it did lead to Catwoman to be retired for a time, for reasons I'll post shortly...
