Wasn't sure where to put this, but I thought it was a great deal.

All 4 older Batman movies for only $5.50 (free shipping too).

I have a few more episode of Arrow to watch. So far it seems to keep itself from being too formulaic with the use of flashbacks which is quite clever.

Agreed, I find myself my interesting in the flashback stuff than the present storyline.

Ah thank you. That was very informative

I also really liked the show and didnt see that ending coming. In the comics does the character of Tommy play any importance? I couldn't believe they killed him off and that half of the city was destroyed.

I've been playing the iOS version. It's actually pretty fun. There is no story, but it's a good game to pass the time with

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

I'm reading that right now, I can already tell it will be one of my favorites.

Wow BatmAngelus, I didn't even know of most of those. Thanks! Now I have a lot to add to my list.

Thanks. That gives me some good information

First off I should explain I am pretty new to comics. In the past month I've read a lot of the graphic novels listed to the right of the page but I was wanting to get more into Batman.

I know the Golden Age is obviously when Batman first came to be and the Silver age was after that and we are now in the Modern Age. I was wanting to read some comics that include some different Batman villains and stories (like where the giant penny and the t-rex came from that are in his batcave). Are these stories strictly to the Golden/Silver age? If I get the "Batman in the 40's, 50's etc graphic novels will that summarized these two ages enough for me and then I can move onto The New 52?

The bigger question, since it is easier for me to get my hands on The New 52 than it is for classic books, what is the difference between all of the The 52 collections? There is a Batman, Batman: The Dark Knight, and Detective Comics (and Batman and Robin, Batgirl, etc, etc). Do these three that I mentioned take place in their own universe or is there a common arc between them all. I guess I don't understand what the difference between them. Does one of these comics retell the classic Batman stories I am wanting to read about?

Thanks everyone, and I hope this post makes sense to someone. Like I said, I am pretty new to all of this.
