Detective is wonderful. I hadn't read any until today, I bought the first two because I liked how several BSS posters described it, then bought the rest as soon as I was finished. I've always preferred Batman's family to the man himself, so this immediately became my favorite batbook. Question: I haven't kept up with Batwoman since the New 52 relaunch, but was her father turning heel foreshadowed at all in her book? Also, regarding Clayface, thankfully there's quite a few of them, so hopefully they keep Basil as he is and bring in Matt Hagen or whomever if they need a villainous claything.

Another thing I liked about Detective were the new costumes, specifically Tim Drake's and Cassandra Cain's. Tim is back in Robin colors as he should be, and Cassandra's Orphan look is hot. I'm also really looking forward to the Monster Men crossover (I'm a sucker for creature design).   If you've never read Matt Wagner's Batman and the Monster Men (and Batman and the Mad Monk), you're missing out. Just perfect "classic" Batman stories. Would've made great Dini/Timm-era TAS episodes.

The Long Halloween and Dark Victory were preceded by three LOTDK Halloween Specials (they were reprinted in Haunted Knight). I consider that all one big awesome run. Definitely in it for the art though, but Loeb's scripting isn't anywhere near his more recent output.

The Batman: Black & White series are spectacular too. Even the pin-ups were great.

With all this talk of Killing Joke, don't forget Alan Moore wrote a great Clayface story in another Batman annual. Yes, the poor bastard fell in love with a mannequin.
