Batman comics, where do I start?

[Cypher_09]

I've read "Detective Comics #27", Batman's first appearance but other than that I have no clue where to start, given that there are so many to choose from.

Any suggestions?

Hush is a pretty good one.

I read this back in 2011 and started from there. Other comics worth reading are
Year Two
The Black Mirror
Venom
Snow
Strange Apparitions
Night Cries
Gotham County Line
Heart Of Hush
The Cult
The Man Who Laughs

Haven't read much of the new 32 batman other than the Harley Quinn comics, which are pretty good.

Three of the best Batman comics I've ever read, and will spoil you for any you will read in the future are:

Batman: Year One by Frank Miller & David Mazzuccheli,
The Killing Joke by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland,
and
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller

[Propane Addict]

One not listed so far: Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth
Otherwise, Year One and The Killing Joke are must reads

Also, using this collection of guides created by a bunch of guys at /co/ is perfect for looking up just about any hero, universe, publisher, or writer.

For Dark Knight Returns, I actually reccomend watching the animated adaptation.

Dear god is it amazing

It does modify the story a bit and Batman's monologue is gone though, also has some pointless line changes. But yes, is definitely the best DC animated movie.
