I haven't got nearly as many as you's :o, but it's still growing larger. My fav that i have read is Face The Face, it's not that old but i thought it was pretty good.
To tell the truth i haven't heard of JOKER before, what is it about, can you still buy it?
Excellent collection, BatmAngelus! Mine is still growing, hopefully it will be as large as that soon.
And yes Sandman, you will be able to pick up Joker. It has just been released in hardcover.
Thanks dude. ;)
Quote from: The Dark Knight on Thu, 27 Nov 2008, 08:34This is my collection so far:
I'd like to recommend that you pick up
Batman In The Seventies. While you're at it,
Strange Apparitions is a must too.
Lastly, the
War Games series is highly recommended too. I think there are three in the main series, plus a couple of follow ups. This particular line has a lot of that "chaos in the streets" vibe that you seemed to enjoy in TDK. Also, a big supporting character bites it. Mind you, it doesn't last because DC has never had the balls to leave characters dead for very long but whatever. Seriously, some day I expect to pick up a Batman comic and find out that Jason Todd has secretly been conspiring with Thomas and Martha Wayne as well as the Graysons to get to Batman. Unbeknownst to them all, however, Sheila Haywood actually survived the bombing after all, and she and Mrs. Drake are working to bring the mob back to Gotham to oust the freaks.
Still. War Games. Great read.
I have Batman in the 70's its great, I have all of the collections of Batman in the _ whatever era, those are a great start in getting to know all about batman.
Wow BatmAngelus! I'm jealous.

Batman Black and White 1-3

Cheers, thecolorsblend. I'll look into them.
I'll pick up the collected graphic novel of 'Batman RIP' when that comes out too. In which I hear they are just resting the character for a year, in which he has a gand comeback at the end of next year. The final panel involves Batman and a helicopter, but Bruce's body is not shown.
The Dark Knight Returns
The Dark Knight Strikes Again
Collected Legends of The Dark Knight
Batman: The Movies
I have other books, but these are the only ones I would call graphic novels. My collection is so small . . .
Oh my god... next to you guys, I'm poor! :P
Mines are:
The Killing Joke
The Dark Knight Returns
The Man Who Laughs
Hush
War On Crime
The Long Halloween
Only these... :-\
My birthday is coming up, so I am going to treat myself to some graphic novels. I am looking for some suggestions of good ones. Any ideas?
I already have
TDKR
The Killing Joke
Knightfall 1 & 2
Knightsend
The Long Halloween
Strange Apparitions
A Death in the Family
Year One
Year Two
The be-all, end-all of elseworlds Batman tales.
Batman: Vampire. It's my favorite Batman story of all time, just behind KnightSaga.
Oh, and also:
"Batman: Strange Apparitions" and its sequel "Batman: Dark Detective."
Both are by Steve Engalhart (writer) and the late Marshall Rogers (artist). The two, together, are widely considered "The definitive Batman." And the first one is one of the specific runs that Burton was given as inspiration for B89. Engalhart also wrote the script treatment for the film that became Sam Hamm's script. Rupert Thorne and Silver St. Cloud in the book basically become Grissom and Vicki in the film. The story content isn't necessarily the same, but the two TPBs are ABSOLUTELY the Batman that Burton put on screen in the first film (and for the most part, the second). They are absolutely of the same flavor, and that's why I love them so much.
I don't care what anyone says, Engalhart and Rogers' work will ALWAYS be the definitive Batman.
I haven't read all of these yet, but I own
Batman: Ten Nights Of The Beast
Hush 1 and 2

Is Hush good?

Is Hush good?
If you like overblown, overrated, masturbatory glorified fan fiction, yeah, Hush is awesome.
I think Hush is a pretty good character. The Hush series that many of us have listed above is quite swell in my opinion.
Wow BatmAngelus, I didn't even know of most of those. Thanks! Now I have a lot to add to my list.
already read:
Earth one
year one
Night terrors
batman: the movies
arkham asylum
arkham city
own but have not read
arkham unhinged
the killing joke

You should probably check out The Long Halloween if you haven't already.
