My Name Is Nobody must be approached with appropriate expectations. If one is expecting something in the mode of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, disappointment is guaranteed. The film creates its own strange mood, and despite the apparent frivolity of Nobody's antics, it has a thoughtful undercurrent and an elegiac tone. As for the video quality, Blu-ray versions have been released in Italy, Spain, Germany and France. I have not seen any of them and cannot compare video quality, but it is entirely possible that one or more were derived from superior source material. For anyone with region-free capabilities, investigation may be warranted before investing in this Image release. The film itself is highly recommended for those who know what they're getting.

What's great about it: The Video and Audio is a upgrade from the DVD edition.

Frank Miller's famed dark comics story is finally brought to life in this DC Universe's Animated film. Even though this epic tale is condensed to a mere 64 minutes run time, the film does justice to the story and keeps you interested in more as this story will unfold (we hope) in future animated features. Anyone who knows this story of Year One there is no other information that can sell the good job Warner Premiere did with this disc. PQ is on par for this type of animation with solid colors and good uses of black. AQ is quite good and features a strong 5.1 active track. A nice slew of extra's rounds out this must own disc for Batman fans and animated fans.
