Best: Batman - Scott Snyder's story is amazing. And Greg Capullo's Batman is about the best I've seen. Worst: For me, it's a real toss-up between Batwoman and Batman: The Dark Knight. I'm just not feeling either story-line. I can't get into the White Rabbit and I don't like the supernatural stuff that happening in Batwoman. If I had to drop one, it'd have to be Dark Knight. J.H. Williams III art is just too amazing not to look at each month. Your turn!
Batman
Character » Batman appears in 23645 issues.
Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swore to avenge their deaths. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, mastering martial arts, detective skills, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on the fears of criminals, and utilizing a high-tech arsenal, he became the legendary Batman.
Best/Worst Batman/Bat-related comic in the New 52? And why?
Detective Comics got boring to me and I would rather have Cassandra as Batgirl instead of Barbara...
Batwoman is sooooooooooooooooooooooo overrated
Batman and Robin is my favourite, closely followed by Batman and Catwoman.

Batman, Nightwing, Batwoman, and Batgirl are my favorite.
Batman and Robin, Batwing, and Detective Comics are average. Not good, but not bad so far.
The Dark Knight is meh for me.
Batwoman is great, I don't care what anyone says but it still doesn't beat Snyder's Batman. BEST! Worst.... Batwing. Way too political especially because everyone said they were trying to stay away from that.

A good point but Batwoman#1 depended to much on back story to be a great book and it doesn't provide propper incentive to go get Elegy without prior knowledge its just a 3 star book that came out at the same time as an entire sea of 3 star books. I can't read up on the back story of every decent book in the new52 that I'm not familiar with, and a completely new reader wouldn't even know where to look for back story. I do plan on getting Elegy but it's pretty low on my pull list at the moment
well all I can say is if they don't get Elegy it's there loss@spiderbat87 said:

You sir, have just spoken my mind.
@The Dark Huntress: I personally can't and I'm not the only one to have the problem, glad you can though
Best; like it matters. DCnU sucks. I'll say Batman even though the Court of Owls is a stupid concept.
Worst; Red Hood and the Outlaws.

I think the Court of Owls is doing the Owlman concept justice.However I do think it would have been better if this arc was centered around Bruce's earlier days.
this, it's not bad by any means but it's NOWHERE near as good as people are making it out to beBatwoman is sooooooooooooooooooooooo overrated
that being said, TDK is the worst title and Batman is the best
For me Batman and Robin is the worst title - I do not and never have liked Damien Wayne - Batman doesn't need a partner. Best for me is Batman, I am enjoying TDK, Detective, Batgirl and to a lesser extent Batwoman, which I agree is overrated. I dropped Batwing after the first issue - it didn't grab me and I am not a fan of the Batman Inc, concept
I wouldn't call it a "flaw" but the writing is inferior to Synder's Batman...although that's not saying much since Batman is awesome right now, the only thing i can think of is that the villain so far is kinda "meh"What are Detective Comics' flaws? I was considering picking it up

I second that.
Best: Batman: The story and the way it's being told is nothing short of genius. The Court of Owls are Talon make for brilliant antagonists. Not many people can push Batman past his limits and make him look extremely vulnerable. We also begin to understand how much Gotham needs Batman and how much Batman needs Gotham
Worst: Batman and Robin: The chemistry between the two leads isnt there.
I love Batwoman... I love the artwork, the character, the costume. The story's keeping me hooked each issue. And yes, I love that she's a strong, female, gay character.
I'm not liking Batgirl. I know I need to move on, but Barbara Gordon will always be Oracle to me - and I much preferred Cassandra Cain as Batgirl.
My Favorites (in decreasing order of epicness):
Batman (it was Batman and Robin but Batman has been consistantly good whereas B&R had a great first arc and a mediocre second arc), Batwoman (I loved this even more than I expected to; the first five issues were great, the next six, which have a pretty bad reputation, I thought were still pretty great), Batman and Robin.
Those I Don't Care Much For (in decreasing order of tolerableness):
Batgirl (I admit it; it's mostly because I'm biased. I love Barbara Gordon as Oracle and don't feel she is written as she should be no matter how much Gail Simone explains her writing choices. Simone is a fantastic writer and Batgirl has some interesting stories...I just don't feel like I'm reading Babs), Batman: The Dark Knight (this would be at the bottom if not for the writer change. Issues 10 and 11 have been pretty decent. If the next issue proves good and if it were not for Scarecrow's horrible design, I'd rank this in the favorites), Detective Comics (it fluxuates between halfway-decent and just plain uninteresting), Under the Red Hood (admittedly, I've only picked up a few issues but all of the ones I did read, I didn't like).
I love every comic where Batman is the main character :> no matter how bad they are though im starting to find The Dark Knight a bit lacklustre.
my favorite is Batman.
i read pretty much all batman comics, along with nightwing, although, i've only read a few detective comics and i dropped them. something about them i don't like.
Batman, Nightwing and Red Hood are the ones I think are good/care about.
Dark Knight, Detective, Catwoman and Batgirl are poorly written from what I read and I just don't care much for Batwoman.
Great: Batman, Batman and Robin, Nightwing
Good: Red Hood and the Outlaws, Batwing, Batwoman, Batman Inc.
Bad: Detective Comics, Birds of Prey, Teen Titans, Batgirl
Terrible: Catwoman, Dark Knight
Best:Batman by Scott Snyder.
The story and the writing are absolutely top notch, by far some of the best that Batman has received in years. The Court of the Owls was brilliant, and gave us a Batman story that actually played off all the best parts of the character. Greg Capullo is absolutely killing it with art duties, just an all around ace book.
Worst:Batman Incorporated by Grant Morrison, and good god it's not even close. Morrison must still be coasting on his All-Star Superman credentials, as no one has stopped him from writing another lack-luster book that, outside of the Talia issue, has to be one of the most boring reads I've ever encountered.
Best: Batman and Robin, by far. The art is amazing, the dialogue is real, and the plot is exciting and moves quickly. I would highly recommend this, it's a lot of fun!
Worst: The Dark Knight. The art is nice and dark, but it doesn't manage to save the stories incredibly scattered and boring plotline. Another thing that irks me is every batman villain is ridiculously huge, and they all have to be physical threats.
