I think YO is too good to ignore. Plus, the reason why it works is because Miller is laser focused on showing how Gordon and Batman became allies and their first nights in Gotham. He is not at all concerned with the 'secret origins' of the Batmobile, Batglider, Batcave or any of that crap. It's left as a blank space for other writers to fill in.

I think writers should just write around it and fill in the space in between. Maybe show how Batman and Harvey became allies and several untold stories from that era. Plus, it's easy to recommend to people to check out Year One then supplement it by reading Prey, Monster Men and the Mad Monk.
