| 1. Batman: The Killing Joke |

March 19, 2008
Alan Moore is the greatest comic book writer of all time. His portrayal of the Joker is dark, violent, and irrational. Bolland's illustrations bring the book to life and tell a narrative of their own. Read it once and you'll want more. read it again and you'll catch all the little things you missed the first time through. But you'll still want more... more

| 2. Batman: Year One |

By: Frank Miller
Publisher: DC Comics
January 10, 2007
What a great graphic novel! The tale of Batman begins here, and Frank Miller does an excellent job! This paces like a movie, and I had it finished in a half hour, which left me sad, but I'd rather that than it drag on! Do yourself a favor - if you're a Batman fan, pick this up!

| 3. Batman: The Long Halloween |
|
By: Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale
Publisher: DC Comics
November 01, 1999
I was blown away on how good this story was. I am a big Marvel fan, but have been thinking about breaking out into mainstream DC books. I was not disappointed with this read. It combines Batman's dark precence and a great murder mystery to make a great story. The art also contributes to this as well. This is a great start for anyone who wants to read more Batman, and I am sure I will buy more Batman... more

Publisher: DC Comics
November 04, 2008
this book was really great... it was disturbing at some parts but it was interesting... my only problem with the book was it was short =/ but that shouldnt stop you from picking this up. I really recommend it to mature readers only. Very adult themed... but it was good and the end was good... artwork is also great. thank you =)... more

| 5. Batman: The Dark Knight Returns |
|
By: Frank Miller
Publisher: DC Comics
May 01, 1997
Here's the book in a nutshell: Bruce Wayne, AKA Batman, is on the edge of sanity ...sleepwalking and drinking himself into oblivion because he's been in mind-numbing retirement for the last 10 years. But, Gotham gets SOOO bad that he's given his excuse to don the tights again. Bloody heads and mayhem follows.
Now, be warned this Batman is aged. So much so that throughout the book he huffs,puffs... more

| 6. Batman: Dark Victory |
|
By: Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale
Publisher: DC Comics
October 01, 2002
It's an outstanding masterpiece that every dark knight friend has to read it. It defines the hero and shows the beginning of a wonderful relationship with Dick Grayson, the first Robin. One of his worst enemies emerges, that is Two-Face of course, while his friendship with Commissioner Gordon is tested. It's a must for every fan, for it's a pure pleasure. So, what are you waiting for? I'll definitely... more

| 7. Batman: The Man Who Laughs |
|
By: Ed Brubaker
Publisher: DC Comics
February 03, 2009
This is a well told story with good artwork. It's not quite as good as Batman: Year One, but I don't think anything is (personally, I prefer Year One to Batman: The Dark Knight Returns). This is a good sequel, and an enjoyable sequel to Y1. Do you need to own it? It's probably worth it... I am glad I bought it. ... more

| 8. Batman: Hush |
|
By: Jeph Loeb
Publisher: DC Comics
August 18, 2009
When you say something has it all, you normally overlook a few items. This is not the case when you read Hush and look at all of the elements. Storywise, you have everything you could ask for from Batman and a little more. There are the romantic elements that combine with the prolific Batman elements of yore, not to mention the thing that always hides somewhere inside a great storyline. There are the... more

| 9. Batman: Haunted Knight |
|
By: Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale
Publisher: DC Comics
September 01, 1996
"Haunted Knight" collects three different Batman tales by Loeb and Sale all of which focus on Halloween. It's an interesting idea. The art is a bit exaggerated as was the style in the mid 90s when these issues were first released. The insight into the character of both Batman and Bruce Wayne is excellent. So are the takes on Alfred, the Mad Hatter and the Scarecrow. Two of the stories are excellent... more

|
By: Frank Miller, Lynn Varley
Publisher: DC Comics
January 01, 2004
Frank, there was just no need. Even if there were, why would you go and spoil the original Dark Knight Returns, one of the most influential comic stories of all time, with a follow-up composed of complete drek? I'm sure the motivation was pure money and I'm sorry that you now have mine... more
