Top 3 favorite Batman Graphic Novels

[Ipodman]

Thinking of getting Hush (The FULL GN version...)
and then one of those Batman - Predator - Aliens thingys...

I miss Bruce wayne =|

 

[CConn]

That is one of the worst Batman stories. It also has some awful artwork in it.

Correctamundo.

i agree!

Correctamundo.

rubbbish, there's plenty to like in it. god forbid it isn't the same as a hundred other batman runs

 

[jewing3]

Hush Volume 1
Dark Victory
Hush Volume 2

In that order.

I still have alot to read, so I don't expect that to be my list in a few months. I'm really interested in stuff like Gotham by Gaslight, Strange Apparitions, Gothic, and The Cult but I'm trying to get caught up in terms of the continuity first.

 

[TheFuture]

Right now it's

1. The Killing Joke
2. Hush
3. The Long Halloween

 

[CaptainClown]

wow lot of hush love

Hush Volume 2

I fund gothic interesting, but i wasn't impressed by the art. On the other hand, the cult is really crappy, and even if it owes a lot to The Dark Knight returns, I think it's unskippable.

Unlike Gothic and gaslight, the cult is in continuity, as it happes just before the cult classic "a death in the family".

 

[Naked Shia]

I really liked the monster men but was disappointed by the mad monk. Not a fan of strange apparitions, as I'm not a fan of englehart.

City of crime was strange to say the least. There were some good moments but the ending was lame, and as everyone says, the art was awful. Pity, it had potential.

 

[BigSams50]

Right now it's

1. The Killing Joke
2. Hush
3. The Long Halloween

couldnt have said it any better

 

[CrimsonMist]

My new list:

DKR
Broken City(this is underrated. Just an awesome story)
Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader

Despite DKR being my #1, i really think people need to branch out more with Batman comics. There's so much good stuff out there and the only thing people think of when they hear Batman, or care to hear i should(and might) say, is "Hush" or "The Long Halloween".

 

[CaptainClown]

Gotham Noir

 

[Young Superman]

Dark Knight Returns
Batman: Year One
Batman: Year 100

so very very true.

my new favorite list:

Arkham Asylum (will always be my numer 1. In fact, it's even my "Numer 1" Graphic Novel overall)
The Cult
Year 100

 

[TheFuture]

Dark Knight Returns
Batman: Year One
Batman: Year 100

What's that like? I saw the cover and it kind of put me off, Batman just looks so small and shrivelled. It just looks really sad.

 

[DACMAN]

3. The Dark Knight Returns
2. Punisher vs Batman

1.Batman: Year One

 

[bobcatmvp1]

I think The Joker: Devil's Advocate is the most highly underrated Batman story and it just found it's way into my top 3.

 

[mothy]

2. dark victory
3. year one

 

[The Caped Knight]

1. Batman : Year One

2. Batman : The Long Halloween / Dark Victory

3. Batman : Hush

4. Batman : The Man Who Laughs

5. Batman : The Killing Joke

6. Batman : Knightfall

7. Batman : The Dark Knight Returns

8. Batman : Arkham Asylum

9. Batman : A Death In The Family

10. Superman Batman : Public Enemies

 

[Young Superman]

1. Batman : Year One

2. Batman : The Long Halloween / Dark Victory

3. Batman : Hush

4. Batman : The Man Who Laughs

5. Batman : The Killing Joke

6. Batman : Knightfall

7. Batman : The Dark Knight Returns

8. Batman : Arkham Asylum

9. Batman : A Death In The Family
