Top 5 most favorite Batman stories of all time?

The Killing Joke
The Long Halloween
Dark Victory
Year One
 
Mad Love by Paul Dini - I'm an admitted Harley fanboy, and I think this is one of the most wonderfully funny and tragic stories ever (even if it's not technically a Batman story...)

Batman: Year One by Frank Miller - I'm NOT a Miller fanboy (I'm not even that huge on TDKR, to be honest) but I maintain that this is still the greatest, most encapsulating single take on Batman.

There is No Hope in Crime Alley! by Denny O'Neill - It's a short, simple story, yet I read it over and over again. I really love Leslie Thompkins, and I really love seeing the warmer side of Batman that she brings out. It exemplifies a huge part of the character that's been missing from every other media incarnation (except for BTAS).

The Joker's Five-Way Revenge by Denny O'Neill - Classic story, definitive O'Neill Joker; return to greatness for the best villain of all time.

Batman: The Killing Joke by Alan Moore - THE Joker story. But it's just as much about Batman, probably moreso. Love it from start to finish. It's disturbing and sad. I love the depiction of their relationship, their collision course.

great list. i wish the nolan's would have included leslie thompkins somehow. i guess they still could.
 
Can't put my favourite stories in any order. But I know for sure that no post-Knightfall story would be in there.
