Yuck there crap choices.
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.
