Hey guys so there are a lot of people that come on here that want to know which graphic novels to read. So what I did was compile a list of all graphic novels that I will continuously update that have bruce wayne in it. That also includes cameos. I still need to update it, because I believe I might accidentally have put in some story arcs. If I did please let me know. And there will be a key to them. I would also appreciate help with your opinions on good reads or must reads for people that don't have the time to read this entire list, because lets face it, it's long, and it can only get longer. And if I am missing any please let me know!

The Key:

Italisized means that it has not been compiled as a trade paperback yet

Bold means this is an important or really good read

Underlined means Bruce does not appear in it but it still effects his mythos. (I might need help with the is it dick or bruce for some of the 2009/2010 issues).

1. Batman: Year One

@batshrine: thats really cool!

Thanks! I can't wait till I start adding the DCnU stuff, still don't know how the chronology of it will work but it's gonna be a working process.

Why isn't Killing Joke underlined? That was a pretty important book. Also, DC needs to make a Batman: Year 3 TPB. I guess I can just pick up Parts 2-4 at cover price at my local comic shop, and get 1 on Ebay.

@Funrush: I still haven't gotten around to bolding the important ones. If you notice any other ones though, please let me know!

Wow, this is an incredible list! Did you compile it yourself? It's really helpful, thanks a lot!

Also, just some suggestions. I'd bold Batman: Hush and Batman: R.I.P. Also, you could add the Batman Beyond comics to the end of the list which would pretty much be the end of the chronology. Just suggestions, you don't have to go with them.

@Zomboid: No thats a totally awesome suggestion. As far as Batman RIP, is it too confusing for someone to just read that alone or should someone read something else before hand? And ya I made that entire list myself, I have an updated one that I will post with even more trades (and the upcoming new 52 trades as well)

Edit: Just updated it!

@batshrine: It might be a little confusing, but not that bad. Also, I didn't see Grant Morrison's Arkham Asylum on the list, which is a pretty important one, or Arkham Asylum: Madness (which would be underlined).

So you are gonna be shocked, I have never read either of those, but I'll do my research on it to figure out where it goes exactly.

Morrison's AA was made in 89.

Awesome, my hat´s off to you, Sir. This post is full of win.

Arkham Asylum: Madness is nothing special, but Morrison's AA is definitely worth reading for any Batman fan. You should totally get on that lol

Ya I know right, I'm a crazy Batfan that has managed to compile a list of DC's trades where Batman has appeared in, yet I still haven't read Arkham Asylum. Is that even possible?

lol anyways, right now I am trying to figure out where to place luthor, joker, and batman/lobo. if you guys have any suggestions feel free to let me know. its a big list so I don't expect you guys to go through it in full detail, but if you can kind of place what major event it is near feel free to let me know. (fyi I am pretty positive they aren't canon tales, but they can still be placed in a this sort of works kind of way)

@batshrine: awesome list u made there. I was searching for a complete batman TPB chronology for a long time. Thanks to u now I can start collecting batman trades without any confusion.

i wish that i that i had the cash so that i could go into a store and hand them this list

My goal is to have all of those books within 6 years. I am 20% there lol

How long did this take to make?

Well to find all the graphic novels was an on going process that I started about a year ago, then I just took about a weeks worth of work to organize it chronologically.

Speaking of which, does anyone have any recommendations on where to put the Luthor, and Joker graphic novels

Great list, Thanks for linking me to it Batshrine

@batshrine said:

I am pretty sure they are Elseworlds, even if it is not written on the cover (but again, it is not on the cover of the All Star comics and Miller's TDKR/DK2). Batman never gave Kryptonite to Luthor so he could kill Superman; Joker was never a cured but depressed hooligan way too much in Clockwork Orange ultra-violence.

That is Azzarello for you, he does not give a damn about continuity and as a result, it is just his vision of the DCU but it never was meant to be canon.

Pretty great list. :) Just two edits I would make - You forgot to put in Catwoman: Year One and I would put The Man Who Laughs before Prey.

Great list and job thumps up.

Some few changes.

20. Haunted Knight takes places afther 28 The long halloween Two Face is mention in Haunted Knight and he wasn't there before TLH, so that is a good lead.

Also the Catwoman: when in Rom is missing on the list. it takes place at the same time as haunted Knight. The Catwoman is missing in the Haunted Knight and dosen't appear again before Dark Victory.

My suggestetion TLH, Hanuted Knight, When in Rom, Dark Victory.

There is more leads thanthe one I have mentio, and can be read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_Haunted_Knight

@tupiaz: I'll be honest I have never read When in Rome. Did Batman (or Bruce Wayne) appear in it?

Not directly no. It however deals with Catwomans thoughts and feelings for Batman, so in that way it fits into the mythos of the Batman. The Riddler also appears in the story. It is not essential (or good for that mater, been a few years since I read it so the story is a bit rusty). .

Agree

That is an impressive list but it can be kind of consuming. I'd suggest Batman: The Cult as one to read/one to highlight in bold. If not for a brilliant story involving Deacon Blackfire, at least for this pic: -

I own 25% of this! Soon enough I will have it all!! :D

A suggestion what about putting Dark Knight returns an Dark knight strikes again in before Batman beyond and Batman 100 after Batman beyond. Also Batman Chronicles and Batamn n the forties, cities, sixties and teh seventies is no there. They seems to be a part of <bruce life after Morrison's run. Dennis Oneil's TPB is not there.

Holy Comic Book Collection, Batman! That's a lot of TPBs to get!

nice

@tupiaz: I actually really like that suggestion with DKR. Batman Chronicles (From the 90's) was never collected, but if you are talking about Golden Age and Silver Age Batman. They aren't cannon, and although I am a huge Batman fan, I find the stories to be too silly and shallow for me to enjoy (and the art isn't good enough to circumnavigate it). Plus I wouldn't know where to put them. Though I am considering putting Denis O'Neil since he did revamp Batman and essentially start creating our conception of Modern Batman. I'll look into what was collected by him

@batshrine:

great list!! though is dc/marvel canon? because i dont think it is unlike jla/avengers.

DC/Marvel isn't canon at all.......

Neither is JLA/Avengers

I was talking about the gold and silver age. The dark knight isn't canon either.

JLA/avengers is canon, since the cosmic egg appeared in JLA: Syndicate rules and in trinity

@rolldestroyer: Crossovers are all non canon.

Maybe you are refering to another story.

generally they are, but this is an exception since at the end of jla/avengers crossover krona was trapped in a cosmic egg (a marvel artifact) and then this egg appeared in the canon JLA: syndicate rules story arc and then it was the main storyline of the 52 issue trinity comic book

So with Marvel vs DC, there is nothing in that story that is contradicted in canon. So in all actuality it is very possible that it did happen. So I actually do count it as canon, unless you see something that happens in it that canon does contradict?

But I am also putting in trades that aren't quite canon if they can roughly fit somewhere. For example Azzarelloverse (Joker, Luthor, and Noel) aren't canon but they can fit somewhere. Same with Cacophony (James gordon was commissioner before he was commissioner in canon) and Wydening Gyre (Cacophony's sequel).

yes it does contradict it since marvel vs dc has a completely different cosmology from both dc and marvel.

Every crossover is canon however they rarely in continuity. Yes there is a difference.

Please give me examples.

no this isn't true, practically every crossover is non canon, jla/avengers is the only one i can think of that is canon

@batshrine: i actually did give you when i said the word cosmology which means the origins of the marvel and dc universes, according to marvel vs dc, amalgam brothers were the creators of both marvel and dc, while canon states otherwise.

also there is a possible another canon crossover for batman, which involves him going against spawn, if you read it he left a batarang in spawn's face thus scaring his face, this scar was later seen in many further issues of spawn but then got retconned.

Every title published by the official publisher is canon (versus fanfic) hwoever it is not in continuity. However it is part of Batman's canon (official release).

canon but not part of continuity? im not sure i understand here.......are you talking about elseworlds or intercompany crossovers?

Elsewords and crossover are canon but not in continuity. Canon simply means it is a official story.

yes canon means an official story but when people generally say canon they mean it canon to the main continuity.........and not all elseworlds are even alternate realities contrary to popular belief.

@rolldestroyer: I am really not sure about this one....

I know the Batman/Daredevil crossover by Chichester is for instance an Elseworld series but pretty normal/mainstream. It is not my fault that canon has become synonym with continuity. I will continue to use canon the correct way hopefully other will do the same some learn that the two words dose not mean the same thing.

This list is AWESOME. Does anyone know of one that was written for Green Lantern?
