Recommendations for Batman Graphic Novels

[sfa]

Well, I read The Long Halloween.
I'm guessing that Nolan took some of the ideas for The Dark Knight from this?
For my first 'proper' Batman graphic novel, I have to say that it was very engrossing. the plot was good and it kept me guessing right up until the end, and Wow! I didn't expect that.

Yeah I think I read somewhere that Nolan was influenced by this graphic novel among others too... It definitely ranks in my top 3 Batman graphic novels, the story is fantastic and IMO Batman works much better as a character on his own without Robin, Nightwing etc...

I haven't read one with robin in yet, but Dark Victory had him in it, so that should be interesting. I never really got to like Robin, he always seemed to be a whinny kid. Especially in the movies and some of the Animated Batman series.

Robin can be very cool if done right like in his own books......Nightwing is just like Batman since it's ^^^^ Grayson grown up

That's because Batman is best on his own. He only gets ruined when you throw in the useless sidekicks. Nolan also shares this viewpoint.

If I had it my way, "Robin" would be banned too

If not for the great "New Teen Titans," which had a greater run in the early 80s then just about any span of Batman that I've read save Year 1, I would agree. But Grayson Robin rocks.
