After watching The Dark Knight Rises at the excellent #DKBK tweetup, I’m intrigued and want to catch up with the Dark Knight storyline(s). As a kid, I used to collect some Batman and Detective Comics, but I stopped well before the introduction of nemesis Bane.

I searched Amazon for Batman graphic novels, not knowing there were a bunch. Do you have any recommendations for which ones to read (or avoid). Any particular order I should read them in?

I also found this list of best Batman graphic novels of all time. The top four looks like a good place to start.

• Batman: The Killing Joke
• Batman: Year One
• Batman: The Long Halloween
• Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
