Besides "Year One", What's your favorit Batman comic origin" tale? Mines "The Untold Legend of the Batman'' from 1980.

I enjoy The Man Who Falls and the 1939 version (WHO HE IS AND HOW HE CAME TO BE)
 
If we're counting movies then Batman Begins. If it's just comics then The Man Who Falls was a good one.
 
Definitely The Man Who Falls. Not only is it a great story but I love the continuity of it all with other stories.

The Man Who Falls uses events from Year One, Blind Justice and the first arc of Legends of the Dark Knight as part of the story. All these make up the training and first months of Batman's career. Later stories of Matt Wagner's Batman and the Mad Monk and Batman and the Monster Men, illustrate the emergence of Batman becoming a major presence in Gotham. Batman: The Man Who Laughs is the sequel from Year One, detailing Joker's first encounter with Batman, thus tying into the flashback elements of the Joker's past from Batman: The Killing Joke. The Long Halloween and Batman: Dark Victory tell the stories of the latter end of Year One and part of Year Two (Long Halloween) and conclude the character arcs with Dark Victory as the official "Year Three," becoming continuity along with Batman: Year Three.
 
I would also count Phantasm as well. The Batman: Secret Origin issue is good as well.
 
I read The Man Who Falls that came with Batman Begins graphic novel. Pretty good story.
