Travis343 posted:I consciously left DKR and Killing Joke out because they're both so overexposed nobody reading this needs me to tell them they're considered 'classics' and they're also extremely overrated and have had an overwhelmingly negative effect on Batman stories and comic books as a whole. Same applies to Year One.

Look, you ask anyone to name the top 3 Batman books and its Year One, Killing Joke, DKR. Period. Just because you hate two of the three doesn't change the status quo. Is DKR outdated? Yeah. Is Miller a wacko? Indeed. Is it still a drat fine comic that changed not just the character but the industry and the format? Absolutely. Same for Killing Joke. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it a go-to for Batman reading. I love the Batman Black & White books and I love the two Batman/Grendel crossovers. I like that weird run in the 80's-90's with KGBeast and NKVDemon as goofy as they were. I think the Batman/Swamp-Thing story arc was one of the best things ever. I'm also partial to the Knightfall arc and think the Zero Year run was really good. But I'll be damned if I recommend any of those to anyone before I recommend Year One, DKR, and Killing Joke. I mean come on.
