Catwoman: When In Rome
Daredevil: Yellow
Spider-Man: Blue (highly recommended!)
 
The Long Halloween for certain.
 
I don't have too many Batman comics, but I do have the The Long Halloween, and I think it's excellent.
 
Batman: The Long Halloween, I love it, it's has adventure, thriller and a excellent story.
 
TLH. It's very classy for a graphic novel. Sure, the others are too, but they have TLH to thank.
 
The Long Halloween.

And just FYI, the order is TLH then DV. Haunted Knight is all over the place/out of continuity.
 
I haven't read DV or HK and I thought TLH wasn't very good at all, so none of them.
 
I'm in the minority of Batman fans who doesn't think Jeph Loeb's Batman work is that amazing though I do like him on other heroes (like Superman). But out of those 3 Dark Victory was the best to me it had good pacing and wasn't as indulgent as it's predecessor could be at times. It had it's problems too but it was a better executed project than TLH IMO. I liked the upgrade of the Batman and Robin dynamic too. The Long Halloween was influential enough to write off Year Two but I find it overdrawn and anti climatic though it does have it's moments of greatness. Haunted Knight drips in wack juice for the most part. I'd get Year One and the other 2 instead I'd say you could hold out on HK for a while.
 
TLH is easily the best of the three. So much more quality and effort put in there.
 
I think the production designers got their idea for the smaller, curved mouth opening on the Bat-suit from Sale's Batman design. Just look at the similar shape to the cowl's mouth region.
 
The one complaint I've had with TLH and DV is that Loeb seems to put his intricate mystery plot and his want to shove every bat-villain imaginable into the story, that his characterization, and overall focus, on Batman is almost non-existent. I mean, people complain about Batman being a supporting character in the Burton movies, he was definitely little more than a supporting character in TLH. Little more than a side attraction to what REALLY makes the book; the mystery of who exactly Holiday is.

That said, the mystery IS so fantastic that it does outweigh the negatives and the lack of characterization in terms of Batman. It's not something I'd want every Batman story to be like, but for that one limited series, those 12 issues, it worked wonderfully. And may very well be one of the best comics ever written. IMO.
 
I think people have to realize character designs and actual art on two different things. I've never been one for most of Sale's designs, but his actual art, how he draws scenes, how he shapes the story visual...that's fantastic. And some of the best in comics, IMO.
 
None of 'em, because Batman is portrayed as a humorless psychotic assh*&e in all of those stories!
