When it comes to animated comic book movies, it's pretty reasonable to say DC is doing terrific work. They've offered more than a handful of classics and there's plenty that are all kinds of enjoyable, too. We all want to see different characters get their fifteen minutes of fame, but it's understandable that this lesser-known dude called "Batman" tends to get a lot of attention. Seriously, he's one of the most iconic characters in comic book history and he's been the subject of dozens of great stories.

This year, DC Animated will release two more Batman movies: Son of Batman and Assault on Arkham. However, we want to know which Batman storyline you want to see turned into an animated movie. If the story you love isn't on the poll, vote "other" and tell us which one you had in mind and why. Now go vote. It's what Batman would want you to do.

In case you somehow missed it, here's the trailer for Son of Batman.

The poll will stay open until Thursday morning (ET). Once it's locked, a new article will go live with the results and more. If you feel like going the extra mile, go ahead and get your elaboration on. What exactly is it about the specific story arc that makes you love it more than the others? If your post is awesome enough and about the poll's winning option, we just may highlight it in the updated feature.

Hush, Court of Owls,and the killing joke are all awesome, but I had to pick battle for the cowl. It was the story that really got me addicted to Batman stores, and I love Jason Todd. Still, I hope all of the stories listed get a film, they are amazing.

Voted for Court of Owls but I would love to see Black Mirror as well. Actually, I would love to see most of these turned into movies.

I can't decide between Gotham by Gaslight, Hush and the Black Glove. I'm going to need some time to think on this one.

Honestly, I'd love to see all of these get animated. But, I'd like to mention one that I think would be truly awesome, and it would also be a cool way to have a Batgirl movie at the same time: Thrillkiller. I'm having a lot of fun imagining how that world and the characters would look in animation.

So...how about all of them :)

But if I could only choose five they'd be like this

1. Killing Joke

2. Court of Owls

3. Hush

4. Battle for the Cowl

5. Death of the Family

Hush or Battle for the Cowl are my top two choices. No Man's Land would be sweet too, but Graphic Audio already did an audio representation (which was fantastic, but that probably means no animated NML).

The Long Halloween/ Dark Victory. As cool as Knightfall would be, they've already touched on a bunch of it in Dark Knight Rises. As much as that awful movie took away from that franchise, you had the breaking of the Bat, the origin of Bane, Bane taking over the city, Batman defeating him, and the emergence of Robin (it was Tim Drake in the book). I hated how that movie ruined the awesome trilogy that started with Batman Begins and the Dark Knight (in my top 5 favorite movies ever) and then DK Rises had to come and sh*t on the parade. I don't think I'll ever forgive Christopher Nolan. Sorry, thinking anything about that movie brings up some bad juju with me and makes me rant about it.

Just a couple i want to say

A Lonely Place of Dying - the story that makes batman out to be wack job that needs some loser kid to make sure he dosnt kill anyone... ya no thank you

Battle for the Cowl - Bruce is the only Batman so no to this and the other Dick Batman stories

Court of Owls - it does have its flaws but its high action series so its great for animation than you add part when Batman is drugged and battered would be vey cool to see in animation so it gets my vote

Kiling Joke - i understand why peole voted for this but for animation it just dosnt work their really isnt any action the story is just to short

I'm sure this will an unpopular opinion, but not only am I not that huge a fan of The Killing Joke, I don't think it would work as an animated feature either. It's not very long, and not much actually happens.

I voted The Black Mirror, because 1. it was my first Batman story I ever read, and 2. I think it would be incredible to see Dick as Batman. But I don't think that WB would go for a Dick-as-Batman story.

Other stories I think would be cool to see: Knightfall, Hush, Court of Owls, The Long Halloween.

I saw Court of Owls and almost picked that... then I saw Long Halloween/Dark Victory and I just had to vote for that. Both would be super awesome to see though. Just imagining them animated makes me happy.

@saren said:

Hush probably translates best, but only if they drop this irritating new anime-inspired style they've adopted.

I agree with this. But why are you not feeling the anime style animation?

The Long Halloween / Dark Victory, Batman Incorporated, Gotham by Gaslight, Zero Year, Hush, Knightfall, No Man's Land and Court/Night of Owls. But if I had to chose and I do because I can't pick multiple answers in this pole (unfortunately) I would have to go with the first Batman arc of the New 52 Court of Owls, this might be the best Batman story I have ever read and it needs the DC Animated treatment now please make it happen.

Court of owls (awesome action sequences) -- Black Glove/R.I.P (A great way to open the way for...) -- Battle For the Cowl and Batman Reborn.

WB/DC gets to make money off us and we get sweet, sweet, entertainment off them. ^.^

I was gonna vote for Hush, but then I remembered Mark Hamill said he would voice The Joker if The Killing Joke was ever made, so Killing Joke got my vote.

The Killing Joke as an animated movie wouldn't make sense. They are made so that kids can watch them, and I don't see them making that... for kids...

Gotta go with Knightfall, so much potential, plus it was the first Batman Graphic novel I read, really hope they do all of these though.

Court of Owls is just too new and I can't see why people are voting for it.It would be better to see some classic story being portrayed and then the most recent ones like Court of Owls.

That was a difficult choice. There are so many good ones. The Killing Joke, Knightfall (my pick), Battle for the Cowl, Batman Reborn. Unfortunately, I haven't read some of them, though No Man's Land is on my list next. Got the whole story, just haven't read it yet.

The Dark Knight Rises was a very, very loose adaptation of Knightfall (mostly just Bane coming to Gotham and breaking Bruce). I would love to see a faithful adaptation.

I want "No Man's Land", but I don't want a movie; I want and epic mini/maxi series. That's the only way to do it justice.
