Top Three Batman Graphic Novels of All Time

Started by roughrider5 pages

Yes, I was getting a little off-topic with my editorial. Strictly Batman Graphic Novels, it would go like this:

ARKHAM ASYLUM
GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT
THE KILLING JOKE

plus, the first Batman/Judge Dredd crossover, by John Wagner & Alan Grant with Simon Bisley.

What is Gotham By Gaslight like?

It's like an Elseworlds Graphic Novel. It's a What-If Bruce Wayne existed in the Victorian era, late 19th century. He gets therapy from Sigmund Freud, and goes after Jack The Ripper.
It was done by Brian Augustyn and Mike Mignola, way back in 1989, same year as Arkham Asylum.

It's supposed to be brilliant and the 1st Elseworlds story...

It sounds ok.

I hear the limited edition Suprman Elseworlds "Speeding Bullets" which is really a batman story is FANTASTIC, according to Batman-on-Film. Clark Kent is raised by the Waynes and becomes a killer Batman, because his heat vision is activated when the Waynes are murdered...

I'd just about have to say any Batman story written by Frank Miller... but has he written any others besides Year One, Returns and Strikes again?

well add All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder (Sigh) Biggest letdown I've ever read in my life so far.

Meh... DKR misportaryed Batman IMHO. He was TOO brutal... his work on Daredevil is great though!

I liked it when Batman was an anarchist in Red Son, but that's not a Batman graphic novel.

Dark Knight Returns was amazing. I'd put it as #1.
#2 The Killing Joke
#3 Hush

Anyone read Prdgal? That's a great story just after Knightfall... Dick stnds in as Bats and it's really good!

It was pretty good, yeah, but there has been better.

It's a great tie up after KnighsEnd. I love the classics of the mid 90s...
