Yes! The Long Halloween is my absolute favourite, the plot twists always had me wanting me and the story was so compelling and interesting. It was such a memorable story and is my favourite story of all time
@Quentin Fogger he did a great job. I absolutely loved The Batman. I don't know what The Batman 2 story will be but I have faith in Matt Reeves. He's a amazing director
I have a question about this comic. Spoilers ahead. I just finished reading it and i don't quite get the ending, was Gilda the actual Holiday killer? Was she involved with Alberto?
Gotta love A Serious House on Serious Earth, pure psychological with incredibly unique art proving Batman is just as insane as his villains. And of course Knightfall is just a classic and my personal favorite Batman story ever written
Absolutely, I really want to read that book Batman No Mans Land, Batman by Grant Morrison and Batman and Robin by Peter J Tomasi are also some of the best Batman stories that should’ve been on this list imo
There's so many Batman comics that I need to read, like Batman: the killing Joke, Batman: the Dark Knight Returns, Batman: Three Jokers, Batman: Knightfall, Batman: White Knight, Batman: Curse of the White Knight, Batman: Beyond the White Knight, Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, Batman: the Long Halloween, Batman: Year One, Batman: Death of the Family, Batman: Under the Red Hood, Batman: A Death in the family, and Batman: the Court of Owls.
The dark knight returns is hard because it isn’t really a Batman story it just isn’t it is kinda about a sociopath who is crazy and I highly recommend just doing the entire Scott Snyder Batman run instead of just doing court of the owls and death of the family trust me it is worth it to read it all And killing joke is really really short like 48 pages long
Amazing video!👍👏 I just began my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They have an incredible range of digital comics for every genre, including the hard to find ones. Lifetime updates too!😁
Everything Scott Snyder wrote for Batman was an instant classic. Zero Year and Black Mirror are two of my favourites along with the Snyder comics you mentioned as well (Court of Owls and Death of the Family).
The beginning of nightfall, with been becoming a steroid addict to avoid being molested for being falsely imprisoned because of crimes his family did is heart wrenching. Some of the best comic book reading I have a red.
Jesus Christ died for your sins on the cross. Repent and believe in him or you will be separated from God The Father for all eternity and face hell forever, for all eternity, never ending.
1:36 - One main issue I have with only seeing the Tower of Babel story as "Wow, Batman with prep time is awesome" is that the story also shows a lot of his plans came from exploiting the trust the other members gave him. It shows the everyday conversations that Batman was having with his teammates, confiding their concerns and fears, and how Batman was only trying to psychologically probe them for emotional vulnerabilities to render them helpless, and his plans could easily be described as brutal, persistent torture. And that power was to be his and his alone. His mindset was very close to Lex Luthor's, and was acting towards the same goal: domination and control of those around him. It was quite the character study into Bruce's utter ruthlessness, arrogance, and paranoia, and how it damaged everyone around him.
I know right? What the heck? If I'm watching this for recommendations, then obviously I haven't read them yet. This guy just blurts out spoilers with no warning whatsoever. Infuriating
Hush was my first main title comic book arc that I've ever read. Prior to that I was reading all the Bruce Timm animated related comics. I have so much nostalgia for Hush!
I actually picked up my first Batman volume book this week! It’s Knightfall, and I’m thoroughly enjoying the story! Thank you so much for the other suggestions, I’ll be sure to pick them up once I finish this story!
Good list, though I would have recommended Knightfall, No Man's Land, Death in the Family, Dark Victory, Son of the Demon, and the Man Who Laughs. Also, for me, The Long Halloween is #1.
My fave is Batman: Black Mirror. Not the biggest fan of Killing Joke, but mostly because some folks use that as an entry point. I think if you read these in this order, you'd come away with a pretty well rounded experience. Honourable mentions for Ego and War on Crime, too.
Here are a few honorable mentions: Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth Knightfall Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? The Black Mirror The Man Who Laughs Earth One Gotham by Gaslight Batman RIP Strange Apparitions The War of Jokes & Riddles Batman and the Monster Men Venom Death in the Family Haunted Knight Dark Victory Son of the Demon Ego The Return of Bruce Wayne Robin: Year One Batman Universe
Man there are so many good books but here's just a few that I would add to the list. Batman Knight Fall Batman The Black Mirror Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth
This topic is a bit late. There's already so many that have covered this topic a while ago. Anyway, how is A death in the family not on the list? It legit had one of the most shocking moments in comics period!
Black Mirror (this is prolly my favorite), Dark Victory, Heart of Hush, Knightfall,Death of the Family, Batman: Cold Days, Batman Ego, and Grant Morrison’s entire run, through Omnibuses. And
Well, my favorite is The Dark Knight Returns, Year One and One Long Night. But I think this list is awesome and a great idea. I am looking forward to see more videos like this :)
I can agree with most of the list, except for The "Three Jokers", and "Death of the Familly". WEhile both are good stories ,there are two that are great taht did not make the list, and undoubtadly belong there. The first being "Knightfall' ,and the other being "No Mans Land"
the one off where he becomes a vampire and becomes ridiculously muscular and raw is pretty dope, so underrated it stands out to me as a possinle tie in that not many know of in the future
Yayyy love the comic book recommendations keep it up plz I have been a long time viewer since around 2015 or 2014 I remember all the set ups. I’ve got back into comic books a lot lately and I wanted to come to your videos and show my support because you helped my love for comics go deeper. Thank you!

There's some also cool Batman crossovers. Tmnt , Tarzan, Aliens , Predator , Spider-Man, Daredevil , Punisher , and Hulk. Also. Tmnt 2012 batman adventures
@VariantComics thanks man, I’m a huge Batman fan but haven’t read many of his iconic stories yet in comics for some reason even though I love The Batman the 2022 film as well as the Arkham games being some of my favorite video games of last decade if not my favorite video game trilogy of all time which is a tall order
I just want to point out Batman doesn’t need prep time tho it does help. And idk ppl’s thought process of that. He’s “The World’s Greatest Detective” in a fight he’ll quickly study the person and do enough to get away to take them down for good at another time or take them down in that fight. It’s like when ppl fight a boss in any video game, they switch their moves, you suck at it, then learn their moves and defeat them.
I thought Earth One was a surprisingly good starting point. It’s not long running and it takes what you already know about Batman and twists it a bit. It’s not revolutionary but I thought it was enjoyable.
Well that's cool Arris dude .I just bought the Batman Court of Owls ,Since Batman/Spawn story with Court of Owls .But Batman Knight Fall is also one awesome Batman story ,And Batman Hush is sweet batman story ,But you do have cool list ,I would just added few more to it .
I've read all of these and I enjoy them first. The first ever Batman story I read was the Dark Knight Returns. I saw one day in my school library. Checked it out and read it: the rest is history. It's what got me into comics. I was in Grade 12.
I went back up to 7 years ago to catch up on some videos then came back and watched this I gotta say you have been consistently brilliant. . . . Kinda miss the ". . . Where we love comics more than. . ." intro
I thought that court of owls was just a bit to short, Batman didn't really get a chance to uncover the mystery as a detective, which could of led to a lot of cool/unsettling moments perhaps with even more crossovers. Still good though.
This is awesome! I have read the comics but I love Batman so I’m glad I had an idea of what to look at. I’m really interested in when you guys do one for the flash as well
I've read most of the books on this list. The only ones I haven't read are: #5, #8, and #9. Hush is on the top of my to-read list. Jim Lee drawing Batman is some of the best art you will ever see in a comic book.
Alot of these have movies. Batman:Hush,The killing joke, Long halloween Pt1 and Pt2,the dark knight returns, under the red hood, and kind of batman:year one because of The Batman
Agree on everything but 3 jokers. Especially putting it over knightfall when talking “essential” I would also put Batman and son or rip instead of death of the family
my 10 top favorite batman stories 10 . batman hush 9. batman under the hood 8. batman death in family 7. batman lonely place dying 6.batman no man land 5. batman bruce murder 4. batman dark knight returns 3.batman year one 2. batman knight fall 1. batman long Halloween a honorable Mendon batman the killing joker also I feel like batman begins is more like batman year one and the batman is like batman the long Halloween
All these stories are definitely must reads but I’ve in recent years added The hunt for Robin and Robin Rises from the Batman and Robin volume 2 run. It’s Batman as a father at his best and worst!
What are your favorite Batman comics or stories?
Evolution of the Birds of Prey!
Batman hush is definitely up there for me, brilliant story
Batman: knightfall, it was the first Batman comic I officially read or Batman and Robin 2009
One of the first Elseworlds books I ever bought was Batman In Darkest Knight ...in it Bruce Wayne receives the GL ring from Abin Sur, not Hal Jordan
Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on a Serious Earth
My personal favorite Batman story is Batman The Long Halloween. I love the story, the drawing, and the twist and turns it had me guessing.
Yes! The Long Halloween is my absolute favourite, the plot twists always had me wanting me and the story was so compelling and interesting. It was such a memorable story and is my favourite story of all time
Did the first Matt Reeves Batman movie did a great job in adapting that story to live action? What do you think the second movie is going to be about?
@Quentin Fogger he did a great job. I absolutely loved The Batman. I don't know what The Batman 2 story will be but I have faith in Matt Reeves. He's a amazing director
Same! First time I read that a few years ago, bought the hardcover and literally read the whole thing in one sitting! Couldn't put it down!
I have a question about this comic. Spoilers ahead. I just finished reading it and i don't quite get the ending, was Gilda the actual Holiday killer? Was she involved with Alberto?
Gotta love A Serious House on Serious Earth, pure psychological with incredibly unique art proving Batman is just as insane as his villains. And of course Knightfall is just a classic and my personal favorite Batman story ever written
Absolutely, I really want to read that book
Batman No Mans Land, Batman by Grant Morrison and Batman and Robin by Peter J Tomasi are also some of the best Batman stories that should’ve been on this list imo
Bruh. Why make a top 10 recommendations list while spoiling a bit of each. 😂
There's so many Batman comics that I need to read, like Batman: the killing Joke, Batman: the Dark Knight Returns, Batman: Three Jokers, Batman: Knightfall, Batman: White Knight, Batman: Curse of the White Knight, Batman: Beyond the White Knight, Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, Batman: the Long Halloween, Batman: Year One, Batman: Death of the Family, Batman: Under the Red Hood, Batman: A Death in the family, and Batman: the Court of Owls.
Feels overwhelming at times doesn’t it 😩
@@killerreef7397 yes, it is overwhelming to read so many Comic book issues. Too bad I never got the pleasure.😔😔😔
I felt Knightfall should be in the list,but then again,maybe it’s because Batman isn’t the main focus,that’s why it’s outside of Top 10
@@srwfanatic agreed. I love knightfall however it does seem to drag during the second act with azbats
The dark knight returns is hard because it isn’t really a Batman story it just isn’t it is kinda about a sociopath who is crazy and I highly recommend just doing the entire Scott Snyder Batman run instead of just doing court of the owls and death of the family trust me it is worth it to read it all
And killing joke is really really short like 48 pages long
Amazing video!👍👏 I just began my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They have an incredible range of digital comics for every genre, including the hard to find ones. Lifetime updates too!😁
Everything Scott Snyder wrote for Batman was an instant classic. Zero Year and Black Mirror are two of my favourites along with the Snyder comics you mentioned as well (Court of Owls and Death of the Family).
"Knightfall" should have been here, because it made Batman human.
1000% Knightfall soooo good
The beginning of nightfall, with been becoming a steroid addict to avoid being molested for being falsely imprisoned because of crimes his family did is heart wrenching. Some of the best comic book reading I have a red.
Jesus Christ died for your sins on the cross. Repent and believe in him or you will be separated from God The Father for all eternity and face hell forever, for all eternity, never ending.
@@treek10k bro we just wanna read fucking batman, chill
So does Batman year one
Batman - War on crime
A masterpiece!
very emotional imo
I’ll check it out
The Long Halloween + Dark Victory are absolutely no. 1 and 2 in my eyes. It's such an incredible storyline. This list also needs more Grant Morrison
1:36 - One main issue I have with only seeing the Tower of Babel story as "Wow, Batman with prep time is awesome" is that the story also shows a lot of his plans came from exploiting the trust the other members gave him.

BRUH. CHILL WITH THE SPOILERS.
I know right? What the heck? If I'm watching this for recommendations, then obviously I haven't read them yet. This guy just blurts out spoilers with no warning whatsoever. Infuriating
thanks for this comment, clicked off the vid right as i saw it
They should do an animated Three Jokers movie that include Mark Hamill and Troy Baker.
...with John DiMaggio as the third Joker
@@Gatester95 I was thinking the guy who voiced The Joker in the Netherrealm fighting games like Injustice.
What would happen if Jared Leto, Joaquin Phoenix or Barry Keoghan voiced one of the three Jokers since they played live action versions of him?
Hush was my first main title comic book arc that I've ever read. Prior to that I was reading all the Bruce Timm animated related comics. I have so much nostalgia for Hush!
I actually picked up my first Batman volume book this week! It’s Knightfall, and I’m thoroughly enjoying the story! Thank you so much for the other suggestions, I’ll be sure to pick them up once I finish this story!
Arris: Hush is one of the greatest mysteries in comics
Arris, immediately after: *proceeds to spoil said mystery*
I know! I was watching like wtf did he just say?
The identity of hush becomes pretty obvious by the 2nd or 3rd chapter but yeah, still pretty stupid to just blurt it out in this video like that.
Good list, though I would have recommended Knightfall, No Man's Land, Death in the Family, Dark Victory, Son of the Demon, and the Man Who Laughs. Also, for me, The Long Halloween is #1.
Strange Apparitions, Venom, Dark Victory, Ego, Gone Sane, The Demon Trilogy, The Man Who Laughs
My fave is Batman: Black Mirror.
Not the biggest fan of Killing Joke, but mostly because some folks use that as an entry point. I think if you read these in this order, you'd come away with a pretty well rounded experience.
Honourable mentions for Ego and War on Crime, too.
Love the video ! Could you guys make one of these for Spider-Man as well ?
what ever you do do not read modern spiderman, if you care about peter and marvel in general. Its an insult.
Here are a few honorable mentions:
Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth
Knightfall
Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?
The Black Mirror
The Man Who Laughs
Earth One
Gotham by Gaslight
Batman RIP
Strange Apparitions
The War of Jokes & Riddles
Batman and the Monster Men
Venom
Death in the Family
Haunted Knight
Dark Victory
Son of the Demon
Ego
The Return of Bruce Wayne
Robin: Year One
Batman Universe
Man there are so many good books but here's just a few that I would add to the list.
Batman Knight Fall
Batman The Black Mirror
Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth
Top 10 must read Batman comics (proceeds in telling tell us the whole plot and everything🥲😂)
It’s called a summary kid.
This topic is a bit late. There's already so many that have covered this topic a while ago. Anyway, how is A death in the family not on the list? It legit had one of the most shocking moments in comics period!
Very new to comic reading but I really love Batman : Earth One.
Black Mirror (this is prolly my favorite), Dark Victory, Heart of Hush, Knightfall,Death of the Family, Batman: Cold Days, Batman Ego, and Grant Morrison’s entire run, through Omnibuses. And
I forgot Year One
Well, my favorite is The Dark Knight Returns, Year One and One Long Night. But I think this list is awesome and a great idea. I am looking forward to see more videos like this :)
I can agree with most of the list, except for The "Three Jokers", and "Death of the Familly". WEhile both are good stories ,there are two that are great taht did not make the list, and undoubtadly belong there. The first being "Knightfall' ,and the other being "No Mans Land"
Next do Top 10 Spider-Man stories!
Batman Black Mirror is also really good I highly recommend.
the one off where he becomes a vampire and becomes ridiculously muscular and raw is pretty dope, so underrated it stands out to me as a possinle tie in that not many know of in the future
Great series idea and GREAT move to start with BATMAN 😆🦇
Batman Endgame was epic!
Yeah that’s a great read too.
I love all the stories on this list but I have a HUGE issue with the ordering. The Long Halloween should be ranked MUCH higher.
I was shocked Death IN the Family wasn't on the list. Especially since it's literally reason we have Red Hood
Great list dude I will totally check some of these stories out they sound great do you have any Wonder Woman stories you would recommend?
Please do this for Spiderman, X-Men, Flash, and Green Lantern.
Yayyy love the comic book recommendations keep it up plz I have been a long time viewer since around 2015 or 2014 I remember all the set ups.

Can you do animated movies of batman ranked too?
The legend of the dark knight venom storyline should be on this list…
It shows Batman came back from something a lot of people don’t addiction
Great stuff. Thanks for sharing
I must say the Dark Nights Metal was a really good run.
Wow, you guys are doing Batman!! Shocking!!
There was a great Batman and Joker graphic novel called, Madmen and Lovers. That was also a Joker origin story.
Very good read. Highly recommend it.
Thanks for this I have some new additions for my to read list
@VariantComics thanks man, I’m a huge Batman fan but haven’t read many of his iconic stories yet in comics for some reason even though I love The Batman the 2022 film as well as the Arkham games being some of my favorite video games of last decade if not my favorite video game trilogy of all time which is a tall order

Batman greatness
Wow, fantastic video. Thanks a lot!
I went back up to 7 years ago to catch up on some videos then came back and watched this I gotta say you have been consistently brilliant. . . . Kinda miss the ". . . Where we love comics more than. . ." intro
Cool series! Keep them coming
Haw did I know that The Killing Joke was gonna be number 1?
It shouldn't be. Even it's author says it's by far the most overrated Batman book of all time.
@@RD-zx6py I mean I don’t hate The Killing Joke I thought Dark Knight Returns or Year One was gonna be Number One
as a beginner in the comic universe i have a question. Do I need to read all the volumes on the death of the family in order or do i just pick one?
So glad to see Three Jokers in here. Though it had some things I didn't like at all, it was EXTREMELY good
I'm surprised the knightfall wasn't on this list....tho I do have to agree with a vast majority of it
Can you do a top ten stories for spawn?
FINALLY! I've missed videos like this so much! 😍
I read two of Batman's Joker War comics I love reading Batman Silver age comics Sure it's goofy but it's still fun to read Today
For me, the court of owls hit hard. That concept of the crime behind the crimes, loved it and they almost beat batman
I thought that court of owls was just a bit to short, Batman didn't really get a chance to uncover the mystery as a detective, which could of led to a lot of cool/unsettling moments perhaps with even more crossovers. Still good though.
FINALLY!!! ive been waiting for something like this
So no Batman: Noel? I love that one. Also when is the podcast coming back?
This is great idea to featuring a Top 10 comics for a particular superhero. Keep it going.
That’s fantastic, thanks for sharing
I can't argue with any of the picks. Well done.
This is awesome! I have read the comics but I love Batman so I’m glad I had an idea of what to look at. I’m really interested in when you guys do one for the flash as well
Batman Forever!
I've been thinking of picking up batman Arkham Asylum, serious house serious earth. What do you guys think about it?
The entire new 52 run of Batman was a godsend, that’s my favorite run in general
Can variant comics do this same thing for Venom storylines?
I've read most of the books on this list. The only ones I haven't read are: #5, #8, and #9. Hush is on the top of my to-read list. Jim Lee drawing Batman is some of the best art you will ever see in a comic book.
wow, great video. thanks so much
Honestly I think Ego is really overlooked!
Excellent list!
Alot of these have movies. Batman:Hush,The killing joke, Long halloween Pt1 and Pt2,the dark knight returns, under the red hood, and kind of batman:year one because of The Batman
great content. ty
Great list even though personally I’ve never liked The Long Halloween.
Honorable mention to the Knightfall trilogy of story arcs: Knightfall, Knight's Quest, and Knight's End.
Agree on everything but 3 jokers. Especially putting it over knightfall when talking “essential” I would also put Batman and son or rip instead of death of the family
My fav Batman stories will always be Tower of Babel,Hush,The Long Halloween, Court of Owls and Under the Red Hood
my 10 top favorite batman stories 10 . batman hush 9. batman under the hood 8. batman death in family 7. batman lonely place dying 6.batman no man land 5. batman bruce murder 4. batman dark knight returns 3.batman year one 2. batman knight fall 1. batman long Halloween a honorable Mendon batman the killing joker also I feel like batman begins is more like batman year one and the batman is like batman the long Halloween
White Knight is a must-read for sure.
Knightfall was dope
My favorites are Batman Knightfall and Batman Bloodstorm.
I’m definitely gonna read all of these stories before the year is over 🔥
Read all of them and absolutely agree
All these stories are definitely must reads but I’ve in recent years added The hunt for Robin and Robin Rises from the Batman and Robin volume 2 run. It’s Batman as a father at his best and worst!
3 Jokers was one hell of a read that captures Joker's obsession beautifully at the last intense pages.
