Great video Omar. My first exposure to Batman: Hush was through the Eaglemoss DC GN series. It happened to be the first 2 volumes of the set, which was at times a tad Batman heavy. It did however set me on a path to buy lots of Batman. I own things like the Knightfall & No Man's Land series among others. Also getting another ongoing Eaglemoss "Legend of Batman" series. I have the whole New 52 Batman run in trades and been progressively getting the Rebirth run in trades too. Look forward to video #3. Cheers mate 😊

Currently in the middle of this read-through and wanted to suggest a slight adjustment to the order. When reading Ed Brubaker vol 1, stop after issue #586. Then read New Gotham vol 1. Then read Officer Down (btw, the collected edition excludes the Batgirl v1 #12 tie-in to this story, though it's not essential), then False Faces -- then resume Ed Brubaker vol 1 which picks up with #591. This has more consistent continuity if read this way. Huge thanks for these, Omar. You're a National Treasure.

Thanks, Omar. As others have said, this video is really showing me all the gaps in my collection. If I may suggest a spin-of to your "comprehensive reading order videos?" That would be a series of "Essential Reading List" videos which cover all collected editions for a given character which contain a stories or arcs that have had a long-lasting effect on continuity and/or are frequently referenced in subsequent stories.

@Unca’ Omar/ FYI: Fictional Trivia: When Bruce Wayne disguised himself as ‘Matches Malone’, the mustache was a false hair piece. Bruce Wayne never “grew it”. Also, wether it was Dennis O’Neal or Brian K. Vaughan writing Batman, these astute Writers, ‘borrowed’ this aspect from the Master Writer of of Detective stories, none other than - Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes would use facial “hair pieces”, wigs, and/or a nose prosthetic to alter/hide his identity on the streets of London, and other city’s / towns, where photos/drawings of his face, was public (fictional) knowledge.

It comes after war games. It’s The aftermath.

Will Superman/Batman be in this reading order? And if not can it be read pretty much whenever or not? I heard a lot of good things about the Loeb 26 first issues

@NearMintCondition 3 жыл бұрын

You can read Batman Superman after Hush, that's my suggestion.

I made the mistake of buying the original No Man's Land TPB. I think I'll wait to see if they're going to do an omnibus release since there's the Road to No Man's Land omni coming soon.

O, so you do let people correct you! ;) BTW, the book is called Under the Hood, but the movie and the new version with both volumes combined added the Red.

@NearMintCondition 3 жыл бұрын

Oh I do. I understand that putting yourself out there really leaves you opened to criticism. :) Although sometimes I do say things on purpose. So in the case of the Under the Hood tpbs. The complete collection is Under The Red Hood. Probably to cash in on that animated movie.

Depends on the Justice League era. But honestly around year 3.

Good afternoon Omar. Can you give me an advice? What should I buy: Batman under the Red Hood, War Games or No Man's Land? Good video, by the way. I'm in Hype for 2016- Batman Reading order, i have rea a few batman comics from Rebirth Era

@RyanDudziak 3 жыл бұрын

I’d recommend any of them. My personal favorite out of all of those is Under the Red Hood. No Man’s Land is great as well, but that’s a much bigger investment.

I haven't actually read anything from Batman from the 2000s other than Grant Morrison's run so I don't know anything about any of these books, but those New Gotham Detective Comics trades, a lot of those pages look like they're out of Grendel: Black, White, and Red.

@NearMintCondition 3 жыл бұрын

There is some damn good books from that era. Honestly. Paul Dini's run is solid.

@germaholic 3 жыл бұрын

@@NearMintCondition Might check some stuff out, though Batman stuff from the 70s, 80s, and 90s tend to not rely on other stuff too much so easy to get into, whereas a lot of Batman stuff from the 2000s seems like you need a bunch of other stuff to understand things since a lot of stories lead directly into other stories. Or maybe I'm wrong, I don't know. Looks like there's a Batman Paul Dini omnibus coming out next month, though.
