Which is weird as the original book was on glossy paper. Looks like DC seemingly just aped the format of the Year One Absolute with the original colouring version on retro looking paper when it was originally a premium release resulting in an unauthentic original colouring. Good absolutebthough and a stone cold classic story

It's amazing how many of these books are now out of print, or available only in either the cheapest paperbacks or Absolutes. The deluxe hardcovers and omnibus editions are mostly defunct. Gothic is op completely. Frank Miller has never had an omnibus as far as I can tell (!!!!), and his deluxe hcs are all op. Even Dark Knight Returns can't be found in a regular hc -- one of the all-time classics. The Tomasi omnibus is gone. Knightfall omnibuses are gone. Arkham Asylum deluxe hc is gone. Etc., etc. Very frustrating. In any case, as a fan of Batman who stopped reading the comics 40 years ago, I'm grateful for this list, which will help me get back into reading Batman, in whatever format I can find.

great stuff on Morrison. Not many lists like this focus on the different runs of the amazing writers who have taken over the series. I am currently reading Post Crisis Batman in order so I've read a lot of the early Morrison stuff but I have not gotten to his run yet. I am currently at Starlin's run on Batman and Grant BreyFogle on Detective which are both bare bones gritty realistic takes on the mythos and some of the best Batman writing I've read. Snyder's legendary run is what got me back into the comics so I am super stoked about reading his earlier takes on Batman that I haven't read yet, like Black Mirror and such. Anyways, great list and insight from a fellow BAtFan

If you haven't read it, I highly recommend "Blind Justice" by Sam Hamm, for the 600th issue of Detective Comics in 1989. Hamm is a screenwriter (see Tim Burton's Batman). For his comic arc, Hamm did NOT go for the predictable Joker story, or an "all the rogues gallery getting together to take Batman out" plot. Instead he creates a conspiracy within Wayne Technologies, compelling Bruce Wayne and Batman to make choices, and accept consequences, that must be lived with. Hamm's story is also based on science (even if it is science fiction, but no magic, supernatural, etc), and morality, which make the best stories imo. It also explores some of the true costs of being Batman, how Bruce Wayne reinforces his obsessive focus and motivation almost daily, and the price he pays for it.

One of the things I love about The Killing Joke is that it was meant to be an alternative universe type story and not part of the main Batman canon but both readers and DC themselves loved the story so much they made it canon and it's been a part of Batman's core history ever since and it's a great story for a newcomer because most people are aware of Batman and the Joker by now so you don't necessarily need to read anything before it to enjoy it.

Batman Long Shadows is frequently overlooked, it was actually the first batman comic I’d ever read, I was so young I didn’t comprehend or know what final crisis was. Not saying it’s a good beginner comic (it’s not) but to any average batman enthusiast definitely check it out before they stop printing it (which is going to be soon). It’s by Judd Winick, writer of Batman: Under the Red Hood.

Been collecting for a long time now and my top ones, (i might miss out some) but #3 court of owls #2 Batman Venom #1 Will always be The Dark Knight returns. Batman Venom is quite a rare one to try and get your hands on I actually own both paperbacks with the remastered issue 2 cover and the 1993 dc paperback with the horrifying purple pinky background colour. Its great at making Batman crumble as a character and how he regains his Batman identity back by going through alot of stuff with the venom drug. I also luv to pick out how Batman first took the drug and how it was introduced first to Batman and then Bane later using it to make his Bane appearance stand out and gain his strength. The court of owls is my favourite modern comic ever which is part of the new 52 of course and its such a great compelling story and its quite a short one to and it shows how much great quality Scott puts in his writing and how epic Gregs artwork is. The Dark Knight returns, ITS THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS CMON MAN!!!

At least three decades of stuff, including both Batman/Grendel volumes, Batman: Faces, & The Monster Men, & The Mad Monk, Trinity (w/ Superman & Wonder Woman), a Black & White story, and I'm sure a host of little things like covers & shorts from annuals & compilations.
