Hm, completely missed that.
Guess it makes a whole lot more sense then.
I missed that too because I asked that very same question. Ill have to re-read it and take more time with it. Alot of the little news cast snippets are quite important and its easy to overlook them.
Well so far ive read:
Year One
TDKR
The Man Who Laughs / Made Of Wood
The Killing Joke
Arkham Asylum
The Long Halloween
Out of those I really couldnt say which Ive enjoyed the most. I really enjoyed Year One, The Killing Joke and The Long Halloween. I will say I preferred Year One to TDKR and that probably puts me in a minority right?
I really dont know. Im having a ball reading them anyway and I cant wait to get stuck into more. Im so new to it all (not jsut Batman but comics fullstop) so I probably dont look at them and view them the same way as somebody like Aeus would.
Im thinking of picking up Knightfall which I think comes in two volumes as I havnt seen a complete edition anywhere on the internet.
I want to try and find some trade paperbacks that involve Dicks transition into Nightwing and the start of Jason as Robin. I also want to try and find one with the start of Batgirl and the when she first becomes Oracle after The Killing Joke.
Basically im trying to find the stories with the big events that change the storylines of all future stories. Im trying to fill in the gaps for some of the bigger plot points and obviously im never going to be able to do that fully because ive started so late but id like to try.
