As far as personal opinions go, I am glad that they decided to use Year One in mainstream continuity, as it really is the best take on Batman's origin. The only thing I didn't like about it was the decision to make Selina Kyle a dominatrix, but the rest of it was fantastic.

There is something funny about the current Year One situation, though. At the beginning of The New 52, Year One was fully intended to remain part of the DC Universe. However, they eventually realised that it doesn't fit the timeline at all, so they got Scott Snyder to relaunch Batman's origin for Prime Earth continuity with Zero Year.

Then DC Rebirth restored Year One while keeping Zero Year, and now neither of them truly fit. If they decide to do a third story to fix the continuity situation again, I hope they at least keep the Riddler stuff. Despite being the Moriarty to Batman's detective, Riddler doesn't have many stories where he's a city wide threat.

I'm still waiting for the hardcover, but has anyone read Superman: Year One #1 yet? I have been wondering if it's supposed to be in the Dark Knight universe or just it's own thing. I don't think DC will canonise it immediately, since Brian Michael Bendis is currently ruining reinterpreting Superman's backstory, but I could be wrong.
