Travis343 posted:Non-Rocksteady Video Game Batman. Rocksteady's Batman is a boring arsehole. The games are pretty fantastic (especially the first two), but it's not the most interesting or fun or badarse version of the character.

Travis343 posted:My ideal Batman smiles sometimes. Sometimes because he's amused or satisfied and occasionally because it's scary when he smiles. And sorry dude there's a wide, wide gulf dividing Conroy's Batman in the Arkham games and his Batman in B:TAS. I don't know if it is the material, the knowledge that he's acting for a more 'adult' audience in the games, or the voice directing.

Where's Batman Confidential #49? Slightly more seriously, No Man's Land should probably be on there.

Also if you haven't seen Brave and the Bold you should check it out, since it's very silly.

The reason I'd pick Luthor over Ra's (who isn't a bad choice) is that Luthor and Doom both cultivate a specific public image, whereas Ra's is a secretive cult leader. You can have a story where Luthor or Doom is motivated by how other people view them, but that doesn't work for Ra's.

Gates of Gotham has lovely art and is Snyder doing his secret-history-of-Gotham stuff is always great but it sounds like it went through a couple of iterations before coming out and I really wonder what might have been.

NikkolasKing posted:This was also apparently written around the same time as Watchmen and I just finished reading that for the first time also. In spite of how..."surreal" everything is in this compared to Watchmen, I genuinely feel like Watchmen had a more optimistic tone. The world of TDKR feels beyond redemption. It's a disease that can only be kept at bay, but not cured. THR posted:One of the things that led you to create Dark Knight Returns was a series of muggings. What happened? Wired posted:Miller moved to Taxi Driver-era New York City in 1976, a nervous, lanky hick, an Ichabod Crane in a land of “danger around every corner.” Subsisting on peanut butter sandwiches and cheap hamburger meat, clutching a portfolio held together with stolen baling twine, he was met with rejection at every turn. Go back to Vermont and pump gas, people would tell him. He found work doing carpentry on a stranger's loft, but it turned out that the client was a cocaine dealer wanted by the Mafia. Miller walked in one morning to face “men with guns, pointed at me. The next thing I remember, I was three blocks away, breathing hard.” It wasn't the last time city life would terrorize him. If you haven't read Batman Year One it's worth bumping to the top of your list, because it's excellent in its own right and is an obvious companion piece to TDKR.

Thanks, I'll give it a look. After you've read Daredevil have a look at Alan Moore's parody of Miller's Daredevil.

Rightio. I'm reading it all in trade (mostly the big hardcover ones) and was trying to work out what I needed to get.

Open Marriage Night posted:Isn't Night of the Monster Men it's own trade? Yeah. The softcover trades skip over the Monster Men issues (so Batman goes 1-6 then 9-15, and Detective goes 934-940 then 943-949), so if you get them and the Monster Men trade you're sorted. The hardcovers include the Monster Men issues but only from their own title, so I was wondering what I needed to get in addition to them.

The flashback issue in Superheavy is one of my favourite single issues of Batman I think. It fits into the broader Bloom story but it works great by itself. What are other standout single issues like that? Batman Confidential #49 springs to mind as a great little story of what goes through Batman's head when he's on a case.

The Deluxe version of Batman and Son includes all the early Black Glove stuff.Dunbar posted:... That's how I'd read it in trades (with the stuff before and after unchanged). There are some Final Crisis issues at the end of RIP that you can probably skip too, since they're included in the Final Crisis trade and make a bit more sense there. Connellingus posted:While I haven't loved every part of King's run, I feel like his storytelling is good (here and elsewhere) and he delivers on new character insights or emotional beats often enough that I feel like I'm getting a fresh take on the character, rather than a highlight reel of older Batman stories.

Loeb's storytelling reminds me of the Arkham games (although the influence is in the other direction) because they both try to cram as much Bat-universe in as they can to a story regardless of how well it holds together. Eternal has a similar issue.

Lightning Lord posted:So what's the general verdict on Tynion btw? I read a comic of his early on but wasn't impressed, but people seem to like him, I'm willing to give him another chance. E: Loeb's stuff is popular, influential and bad. I don't know how you frame a recommendation given that. purple death ray posted:I would 1000% suggest someone seek out the Ras al Ghul stuff from the 70s rather than read Hush just because Batman swordfights shirtless in the desert in each one Sadly Tales of the Demon is a bit annoying to get a hold of.

Lick! The! Whisk! posted:If you're talking about the head/psychology stuff I guess but I think Rocksteady gets way way way too close to trying to present Joker as an essential part of/dark half of/necessary to the functioning of Batman which is the worst and laziest way to present Joker ever. I thought the ending essentially said that the Joker is far more obsessed with Batman than vice versa.

From memory the timing is such that Ivy has control of him for an entire month too. The funniest bit in Arkham Origins is that the story of the mob being replaced by the freaks is done in the most literal possible sense.

I like the first arc in Zero Year but that's because it's Zero Year and not because the Joker's in it. Death of the Family and Endgame are easily the weakest points in Synder's run. DotF has surprisingly little impact in the long run too.

Morrison didn't read everything in The Black Casebook before writing his run, and I'm not convinced it's necessary for anyone else to either (but it does provide a lot of additional context).

OscarDiggs posted:So, main takeaways. Pretty much. Year One will feel like a pretty familiar story (especially if you've seen Batman Begins) but there are a few specific scenes that get referenced a lot in Batman stories. It's also a really good comic which is reason enough to read it. As for D, yeah. You just need to accept that you'll sometimes come across references you don't entirely get, and if the writer is good you'll understand the gist of what happened even if you don't know the specifics and maybe you'll be interested in following up on it.
