Joseph Mitchell
Your whole list looks like a waste of time, to be honest. Here's the only Batcomic you'll ever need.
Julian Gray
>including bat family shit
Robin was a mistake
Jaxson Carter
>that Bronze Age section
Fuck off forever pleb
Daniel Fisher
>no Infantino >minimal O'Neil >minimal Adams >minimal Aparo >minimal Legends of the Dark Knight >no Colan >no Haney Brave and the Bold >no Breyfogle >no Archie Goodwin
>NO BILL FUCKING FINGER WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU FUCK OFF
Samuel James
>t. nostalgiafag
I bet you'd rather it just be 50℅ bronze and silver age shit. Sorry to tell you most of that doesn't hold up
Jordan Ward
To include long runs of Batgirl and Catwoman but only a few O'Neil/Adams stories is a joke.
Wyatt Carter
You really should leave Sup Forums forever
Jeremiah Jones
>No Year Two
Pleb taste.
Benjamin Ramirez
Year two is mediocre at best and you know it
Zachary Williams
>Bronze Age
Batman #218 "The Silent Night of the Batman"
Colton Cox
>Elseworlds/Non-Canon
Superman & Batman - World's Funnest
Austin Hernandez
Silver Age Batman was GARBAGE.
John Sullivan
The only silver age on that list is some Haney BATB and that's one of the GOAT
Wyatt Hughes
Add a Silver Age section with Batman #108 "The Career of Batman Jones". ONLY Silver Age Batman story anyone needs to read.
Jeremiah Watson
The original Batman Black & White should be on there.
Joshua Powell
Add Jeff Loeb's run on Superman/Batman.
Adrian Gray
It's fun to read from a "man comics were wired" perspective, but aside from that they're pretty bad.
Jaxson Collins
>>Batman: Knightfall Vol 1, 3
This was shit.
Maybe consider ditching all of "The Event Era".
Matthew Thomas
Add ALL of The Batman Adventures v1 including the Annuals, the Holiday Special, and Mad Love.
If you want you can throw on Batman & Robin Adventures v1, but that's optional.
Jaxon Long
Consider adding all the Loeb/Sale Halloween Special one-shots.
Caleb Moore
>A Lonely Place of Dying >Robin: A Hero Reborn Why the heck these two are considered as definitive Batman stories?
Isaiah Torres
Winnick's and Starlin's shit was much much worse than Snyder's decent stories like zero year. How do they even get a pass? Under the hood and Death in the family were offensively mediocre.
Gabriel King
>Under the hood and Death in the family Whether you like it or not these stories are classic and extremely popular.
Parker Evans
>Bronze Age
Add The Laughing Fish and maybe the whole Englehart run.
Ryan Clark
Not OP but they were influential stories that greatly changed the world of Batman. Plus, there are no other Jason Todd stories worth reading.
this
Jose Cruz
Wew lad, DITF was the story that changed Batman forever and UtRH (along with, DKR, Hush and COO) is one of the biggest Batman stories.
Brayden Martin
>no other Jason Todd stories worth reading .....sure what ever you say.
And btw, Lonely place of dying and Robin: Reborn aren't Jason's stories.
Christian Powell
I'd add Robinson and Wagner's stories when they took over the Bat book during 52. Brubaker's Two face story was good, even if the rest of his run was mediocre. City of Crime was great as well. Needs more of LotDK.
Elijah Taylor
Why only Vol 1 of Lil Gotham?
Ayden Ortiz
>No other Jason stories worth reading
>Dark Knight: The last crusade >Barr's run Speaking of which, Barr's and Davis' short six issue run was great and highly underrated, with a more upbeat dynamic. Contains my favourite Joker story too. Moore's Mortal Clay gets surprisingly overlooked a lot as well, since it was Moore writing a batman story.
Kevin Myers
>Hating on NML
Eli Garcia
Batman: Venom?
Jason Harris
>no other Jason Todd stories worth reading LMAO he's the only Robin who his stories are worth the read because they aren't about how great and better than Batman he is.
Julian Richardson
>there are no other Jason Todd stories worth reading.
I would really love to know how many you've read
Samuel Sanders
>they aren't about how great and better than Batman he is.
what is Red Hood and the Outlaws
Joshua Thomas
I would ask you to give me examples of this, but I know you wouldn't be able to give me even one example. So, I'm not going to even bother.
Jack Stewart
The entire comic is about Jason trying to prove he doesn't need or want Batman.
Brody Green
"I can do what Batman can never do!"
Eli Hernandez
Him not needing Batman or want him means that he is better than him?
And you do know Jason is adult and have been independent his whole life, right?
Daniel Cox
and his entire existence revolves around "why won't batman approve of me" or "why won't bruce let me kill people"
Ryder Richardson
better get the goalposts moving, user
Jonathan Carter
...
Aaron Davis
.......are you for real? How does this prove that he's better than Batman?
Seriously, just stop embarrassing yourself and I will pretend that you didn't say anything.
Gabriel Carter
Christ this was dumb
Caleb Reed
That's Tynion for you.
Hunter Bailey
So what happened in rebirth that made his quality shoot up so much?
Colton Evans
Nothing because his writing as mediocre as ever.
Michael Ramirez
Even if you don't like Tec right now, you can't possibly claim it's as bad as RHatO and teen titans were
James Scott
shouldn't you be working on your next copypasta review, Tzitzimine
Leo Brooks
it's decent, not as terrible as Sup Forums insists it is, nor is it mindblowingly amazing like the Reddit circlejerk says.
It's a Rebirth book through and through, decent writing, and worth reading if you're a fan of the characters
Jack Peterson
I have decided to read RHATO and it wasn't bad. Tynion's arc in it was the worst part of it. And I have never cared about the Teen titans.
And this guy said it best
Charles Lee
>Tzitzimine Oh look, this meme is back.
Also, It's not good to talk badly about your fellow members, CBR dude.
Easton Thomas
I thought the quality dropped after they ditched the holiday theme
Cameron Rivera
Huh, I forgot that some of it wasn't holiday-themed. Didn't it end with Christmas?
Landon Turner
Volume 1 did
There was a new 52 run afterwards
Gabriel Robinson
I never got the hype around this. It's a neat premise, but the execution is kind of hamfisted.
Charles Martinez
Under the Elseworlds section, add in Gotham by Gaslight, The Doom That Came to Gotham, and Red Rain.
Lucas Harris
Add the Man-Bat saga from Robbins' run to the Bronze Age
