Best Batman Comic..

I am now half way through The Dark Knight Returns so at the moment for me this is the best Batman Comic fully beating the likes of Batman Year One, Hush and Batman: A death in the family.
Which I have read by the way.

Ok, I'm not saying go buy all these instantly but this lot are good ad major, plus they'll keep you reading for ages:

1. Batman: Year One (psychological and gritty)
2. Batman: Year Two. (the coolest bad guy EVER)
3. Batman Chronicles: The Gauntlet (Robin becomes robin...)
4. Ten Nights of the Beast (Jason Todd is Robin now. Cool bad guy!)
5. The Killing Joke (Batgirl gets crippled. Dark and major!)
6. a Death in the Family (it isn't brill but I enjoyed it. PS. Of course Willis Todd knew some shady guys, he worked for 2 Face after all, though the Shiva thing is ridiculous!)
7. A Lonely Place of Dying (the third Robin)
8. Sword of Azrael. (introduces such a cool anti- hero)
9. Knightfall pt 1: broken Bat (the title says it all!)
10. Knighfall pt2: Who Rules the Knight? (wow. Awesome Azbat!)
11. Knightsend (Bruce vs Azrael in the best climax ever!)
12. Prodigal (Nightwing stands in as Bruce goes away. 10/10!)
13. Contagion. (a virus ruins Gotham)
14. Legacy (the virus is advanced by Ra's al Ghul)!
15. Cataclysm (a quake rocks Gotham!)
16. No Mans Land. (theres 5 different volumes. Post quake. BRILL)
17. Evolution. (Gotham rebuilt)
18. Officer Down. (Gordon shot!)
19. War Drums. (prelude to Games)
20. War Games. (3 acts in series. A massive gang war!)
CURRENTLY UNFOLDING...
The "Infinite Crisis" saga as the DCU is entirely affected!
And I hope you don't want more!!! LOL
I recommend reading some Green Lantern... Emerald Dawn, New Dawn, Baptism of Fire, power of Ion and maybe Traitor, they're cool... oh, and Zero Hour, (that's like a thing where the DCU gets scrubbed clean!) is dawn cool...

I cant decide which one to get now, & ive read half of The Dark Knight Returns...im thinking either Batman: Year One or Hush...what yall think?

Arkham Asylum
The Killing Joke
The Dark Knight Returns
The Long Halloween
Dark Victory
Year One
Hush

vampire The batman comics i most like are the-
1 the Knightfall series
2 the no mans land series
3 batman year 2 fear the reaper
4 batman prodigal

Batman Year One is fantastic, but I think nothing beats Long halloween, at least, not for solo batman stories

Yeah, the Long Halloween was unbelievable!

^yyea it was i loved it...i just HAD to read it twice right after i finished it

vampire I casn't remember reading that I'll have to check but i think i have, i might give bloodstorm a read because it looks good is it that good.

Don't read bloodtorm, the trilogy starts Red rain then Bloodstorm then Crimson Mist!

vampire Thanks knightfall93 for stopping from reading them in the wrong order and i now know which ones to look out for.

As the French would say it... "mon pleasuure, mon copain!"

vampire Another good one is dark victory where it tells the proper story about dick grayson joining bats, and the spin off catwoman comics like dark side of the street, selina's big score and can some please confirm for me that slam bradley is in those comics or am i just wrong.

Long halloween isnt the official batman origin, annual 14 is... so IDK if there is a official one for Robin!

It's a Batman Comic called "It's Joker Time", and the reason I list it is because it actually goes into the Joker's childhood, and his broken relationship with his mother. Apparently she chose a boyfriend over him, a boyfriend that would slap the Joker around and mistreat him. When the Joker accidentally killed her boyfriend with a fatal hand-buzzer as a joke, his mother turned on the Joker and actually tried to shoot him a shotgun. The comic leaves the impression though that it might be another warped perception that somehow is a reality in the joker's mind.

You do know there's no official joker origin, there's several possibles...

I agree sevral possibles.

They may all be wrong, that's why I love him!

There was this one Batman comic, I can't remember which one, but it's where the Scarecrow turns on the Joker, sprays him with his fear gas, and finds that the Joker is so insane he doesn't fear anything, so the fear gas has no effect on him at all. Neat little trivia about the Joker.

It's in Knightfall
