 | Batman: Year One (Batman) by Frank Miller
Buy used from: £4.92 The best version of Batman and James Gordon's respective orgins in the war against crime in Gotham. Flawed in places yet still a fantastic story.
|
 | Batman: Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb
Buy new: £8.46 / Used from: £7.00 The best origin story for Two-Face and an even better piece of character development for Batman himself.
|
 | Batman: Man Who Laughs (Batman): Man Who Laughs (Batman) by Ed Brubaker
Buy new: £11.37 / Used from: £8.99 Essentially a "Joker: Year One" story. Though one of my favourite stories of Batman and The Joker it feels like it should be longer, perhaps becase Brubaker's writing just leaves you wanting more.
|
 | Batman: The Killing Joke (Deluxe Edition) by Alan Moore
Buy new: £7.16 / Used from: £5.83 Slightly overrated but still a must read for anyone interested in the psychology of the Joker and his relationship with Batman
|
 | Batman: Turning Points (Batman) by Greg Rucka
Buy new: £6.04 / Used from: £4.15 An interesting story that details the shaky alliance between Jim Gordon and Batman from the early days. A sentimental book but undeniably and excellent one.
|
 | Batman: Arkham Asylum Anniversary Edition by Grant Morrison
Buy new: £6.56 / Used from: £3.90 More examples of the complex psychopathologies of the great trio of Batman, Two-Face and The Joker.
|
 | Batman: War Crimes by Andersen Gabrych
Buy new: £4.94 / Used from: £11.45 This is quite simply one of my favourite Batman stories and that's why it's on the list.
|
 | Batman: Jekyll and Hyde (batman) by Paul Jenkins
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £4.69 This book gives even more insight into the Harvey Dent/Two-Face identity crisis. A disturbing book with great, dark artwork.
|
 | Batman Face the Face (Batman (DC Comics Paperback)) by Patrick Gleason
Buy used from: £7.50 Just another of my favourites.
|
 | Batman: Dark Victory by Loeb
Buy used from: £10.86 An impressive follow up story to The Long Halloween. Not quite as good but still a worthwhile read.

Listmania!
