DC Lovers: Batman what do I read next?

Question

Okay so when I was little I loved Batman but I kinda feel out of comic books as I lost steady access to them, but recently I have found comic book shops galore in my town centre and have been reading allot of it.

I've read: The Killing Joke

The Long Halloween

Dark Victory

Batman:Vampire

and am part way through the Fugitive series

Can you suggest anything else in the same vein as those stories? (apart from finishing Fugitive lol)

[NO SPOILERS]

Answer 1

Have You read Preacher?

Answer 2

Dark Knight Returns

Arkham Asylum

Joker The Last Laugh

but by far my best recommendation is Batman:Year One

in my opinion the best Batman comic written

Answer 3

The Dark Knight Returns has the weird artwork style, but it's the best Batman story.

If you're looking for a great story that isn't pure Batman, check out "Kingdom Come" and "Justice" from Alex Ross.

Answer 4

I'd stay away from the newer Grant Morrison stuff and the All Star Batman with Frank Miller.  You pretty much listed all of the classics, but if I were you I'd hit "The Greatest Joker Stories Ever Told" which has two amazing stories (The Joker's Five Way Revenge and The Laughing Fish).  After that, pick up "Batman: Detective" by Paul Dini for some really good stuff.  It's worth reading "Batman: No Man's Land" as well.

Answer 5

Batman : Hush! Two of the greatest artists and writers come together for sheer greatness! Its epic. But personally all batman is greaaat.

Answer 6

You should try the Superman/Batman series, theres some good stuff there. Batman and son. The ressurection of Ras Au Gul. By Batman;vampire is that all of Crimson Mist, Red Rain, and Bloodstorm?
