If you loved Batman: Year One, try Batman: The Killing Joke

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Sam Liu, and they sit in Action / Animation / Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Batman: Year One, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Batman: The Killing Joke is

Gotham City, dark alley, sirens blaring, a playing card on the ground. The Joker's chaotic laughter echoes, Batman gives chase, Commissioner Gordon's family is targeted. It's a harsh animated take on the iconic villain.
