“stugein” is incorrect.
I can see “clit_niblr28’s” point, and it is valid. You almost couldn’t do it wrong, but you could do it closer to what the authors intended.
All-Star Batman & Robin, The Boy Wonder was meant to be a companion Piece to Batman: Year One by Frank Miller. That means, if it were his choice, you would read B:Y1 followed by ASB&RBW. Of course, that doesn’t nessecarily follow in the timeline of the books you’ve chosen. Also, one glaring ommission on you part may be 1994’s “Spawn: Batman.” It may seem unconnected, but inside the inner cover it clearly says by Miller that it’s meant to be in between the B:Y1 and B: TDKR.
When placing them in a timeline, you seemed to ignore or miss Bruce Wayne’s age along with his relationships with other characters around him. Wayne is obviously much older in TDKR & TDKSA.
Batman: Year One
All-Star Batman & Robin, The Boy Wonder
Batman The Long Halloween (Robin is still seen in this novel, but told to stay out of it)
Batman Dark Victory
Spawn: Batman
Batman The Killing Joke
Batman Hush
Batman Hush Returns
Batman The Return of Hush
Batman The Dark Knight Return
Batman The Dark Knight Strikes Again
My list isn’t exactly the final word on the subject, there are many different answers. All I do know is that B:Y1 is first and B: TDKSA is the last (so far). Everything between is almost interchangeable.
Finally, I found a really good list that I agree with. It lists the 25 Greatest Batman Graphic Novels and I have most of them. It gave me ideas though on which novels I still need to get.http://comics.ign.com/articles/624/62461…
The thing with the Batman books is that they are more like an anthology.
Several separate stories with different time lines that may or may not have anything to do with each other or existing continuity.
Which is WHY you can take a Batman story or Superman story and do a movie about it without really changing too much to the character’s history.
With X-Men it’s a totally different situation because the X-books are SO much like a soap opera that if you take one story and try to do a movie about it (X-Men 3 for example) now you just ruined the whole history. And the movie itself looks like a humongous piece of cinematic fecal matter.
You’ve got the order correct, except that All-Star B&R doesn’t fit anywhere in that time-line. It is its own separate time-line, running in a different “universe” from the standard DC lines (think of it as DC’s answer to Marvels “Ultimate” line of comics).
Did you really think Batman was a good movie? I thought it sucked!! Indiana Jones was much better.. If you don’t agree you should vote for Batman on this page, they’ll give you a $250 gift card!
