[Bruce Malone]

1) Arkham Asylum
2) Dark Vicotry
3) Hush

honorouble mentions:Year One, Joker, TLH

Also anyone here prefer DV to TLH? I think they're both great and I kinda look at them as one continuous story but i feel Dark Victory just got to the action with a better pace and less drag.

they're almost a tie for me. but DV does win. more 2face time. lol. plus he runs the underwolrd in it. and since he's my favorite villain of all time and always underused of course that's the one thing that gives it edge over tlh.t:

 

[Bat Attack]

1. Arkham Asylum
2. The Killing Joke
3. The Dark Knight Returns

Arkham Asylum was the first graphic novel I ever read, so it will always hold a special place with me. Some other favorites are A Death in The Family, Year One, The Long Halloween, Dark Victory, and A Lonely Place of Dying.

[Comics N' Toons]

HAS ANYONE CONSIDERED: the 1st printing of the GREATEST BATMAN STORIES EVER TOLD?

it is a collection of various issues... phenomenal stories in this... (5 Way Revenge)

 

[Two-Face]

It's great read, you get issues from 70s and 80s.

 

[Sparta*]

it was a good collection, but a collection of random issues is never as powerful as one full length 12 issue storyline IMO

 

[returntovoid]

1. The Dark Knight Returns (1986)
2. Batman: The Killing Joke (1988)
3. Batman: The Long Halloween (1997)

[Dirt Like Me]

It might not belong in this thread, but I just wanted to point out that there was a pretty awesome homage to The Killing Joke in tonight's episode of South Park. (And it was based on the original TKJ coloring, too).

I won't say anything more because I don't want to spoil it for anybody.
