A wealthy playboy and a Chicago cop both return to Gotham City where their lives will intersect in unexpected ways.
After the death of his parents, Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham City only to find nothing but filth and corruption. It is his intention to clean the city, yet admittedly, he isn't ready yet. He needs a symbol that will strike fear into people. Suddenly, a bat appears and the rest as they say is history.
Lieutenant James Gordon is new in town. After being run out from his previous police gig for turning in corrupt officers, he's looking for a fresh start in Gotham. Like Mr. Wayne, he only finds filth and corruption. Treading carefully, he avoids the corruption but is finally pushed too far after his wife and son are threatened. In his quest to clean up the city, Batman runs afoul of the police department and Gordon who has been assigned to stop him. Fairly quickly, he finds Batman's true identity, but after Bruce saves his son, an alliance is formed and you know the rest of the story.
Batman: Year One is essentially a two in one origin story explaining how Bruce Wayne became Batman and how James Gordon became Commissioner of Gotham.
It was a decent film overall, but i wouldn't say that it was one of the best Batman stories ever told. In this film, Gotham City was one of the worst cities. Not only was crime running rampant, the police were also corrupt including the commissioner. In this world, Batman was basically a rookie and I will admit that was interesting to see. Plus Gordon is a badass dude.

The "Batman's a dick" line of the film:
None. In this film, he was a rookie. He didn't quite get into "Dick Mode" yet.
