very proper, and I often dislike travel books
Lamentably they appear to have less books available in the lending library now, and it's possibly not the most beautiful building in Hanley, but still an interesting place to look in on, The City Central Library and Archives building on Bethesda Street.

Batman Comic Book Top 10
This is my insulting Batman comic book Top 10, so please don't be upset when your favourite didn't make my list. Some might remember that I ...
I would like to start reading batman comic books wheres a good place to start??
I have been prompted by batman films (not virtuous The Dark Knight) and old tv series to start reading the comics of batman, i just don't know where to start!!! The characters I am in the long run interested in are the joker, Harley Quinn, the riddler, Poison Ivy and The Penguin. Can anyone help thanks xxx
start by collecting the accurate novels. that will get you up to speed faster.
if you only want to read about specific villains, then graphic novels will help you do this as they are focused on the one black lie arch, which is usually concerning one villain. so pick the ones that have your villains.
also go to your local comic book retailer, and get back-orders for the latest titles. i skim Batman and Batman Detective Comics, which are both very cool. but get the back-orders so you can get a hold of whats been happening lately.
The Difficult Joke
hamper out http://www.dccomics.com/new_to_comics/ They have a site where you can look up a local comic store in your area. and most classic comics like Batman have a at liberty book of reprints starting in the very beginnings. Also look for "best of.." editions
Get Night Knight Returns and Year One. You can also pick up the monthly issues at your comic book store or an online comic book rely on.
Here's the slate that I suggest for trades:
Batman Year One - Read this first and below is a very small continuity list. There are other books that you can add but I did not want to overwhelm you.
Long Halloween (Not required but it is a fan favorite)
Batman Four of a Approachable (Collection of annuals based on Year One events of The Riddler, Poison Ivy, ManBat and Scarecrow)
Batman Venon
Termination in the Family
Lonely Place for Dying
Knightfall 1-3
No Man's Land 1-5
Evolution
Officer Down
Hush (While its a good conclude from I am adding this because of the Dini's current Hush story)
From here I would move on to One Year Later.
Face the Face
Batman Detective (Paul Dini's first poised edition of Detective Comics)
Batman Death and the City (Paul Dini's second collected edition of Detective Comics)
Batman and Son (Morrison's first composed edition of Batman title)
I would skip the Ra's resurrection story.
I suggest that you get Year One and if you like it (great read by the way) then grab a few more. If you don't take charge of too much about the history then go on to later published books like Face the Face and Detective comics collection.
As for current comics, DC has chosen the worst plausible time to start a crossover event. Morrison is controlling the bat-titles with his story RIP that is suppose to change Batman forever. Alot of hoopula but not a Sunday place to start for a new reader. If you want to start on the comics, I would suggest getting Detective Comics. Big problem 846 started a new 5 part story that has Hush in it, but his origin is nicely recapped so you do not need too much background knowledge. http://www.dccomics.com/dcu/comics/?cm=9502

What order are these Batman comic books in the Batman time line?
What is the unsuitable? I tried doing it myself and this is what i came up with, but please correct and reorganize them for me if I'm wrong. Thanks. Oh, and if there are any comics I might have missed and should check out, please file them.
Batman Year One
Batman The Long Halloween
Batman Dark Victory
Batman The Dark Night Return
Batman The Dark Night Strikes Again
Batman The Bloodshed Joke
Batman Hush
Batman Hush Returns
Batman The Return of Hush
All-Star Batman & Robin, The Boy Wonder 1
"stugein" is false.
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 enchiridion 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 admire persist 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 concealment 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 unmistakeably 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 interruption out of it)
Batman Dark Victory
Spawn: Batman
Batman The Killing Joke
Batman Hush
Batman Hush Returns
Batman The Return of Hush
Batman The Black-hearted Knight Return
Batman The Dark Knight Strikes Again
My list isn't exactly the final word on the subject, there are many exceptional 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 Picturesque Novels and I have most of them. It gave me ideas though on which novels I still need to get.

what are some of the best Batman comic books?
in person I find the older ones (when Dick Grayson is Robin) to be really good. Can any one tell me the specific title/slues of any really good ones?
Turn one's back on Lee Boy; he's obviously a Fad Humper.
It's all a mater of personal tastes. Just browse the descriptions & pick what sounds above-board...or go to the bookstore & browse; the comic compilations are kept near the mangas.

Which Batman comic book or books is The Dark Knight movie mainly derived from?
I differentiate that Batman Begins is mostly derived from Batman: Year One and Batman: The Long Halloween so which comic book or books is this movie mainly based from?
Thanks.
The moving picture is original, but there are nods to several bat stories. I would say that there was some derived from Batman: The Dark Night Returns by Frank Miller. The Batman imitators shown in the flick picture show are straight out of the graphic novel as well as the design for the Batmobile. Batman's attitude also mirrors the book. The Joker seems to be based off of Alan Moore's style of the character, but there aren't any specific references to Moore's work. (Read Batman: The Killing Joke)
What is the most insane, cruel thing the Joker ever did in the Batman comic books?
This mystery is geared more toward those who know the story and comics very well from years ago to today. Think of the craziest cruelest thing the Trap has ever done.
I would say the persistent torturing of not Batman but Jim. First he cripples and raping Barbara and then he kills Sarah while she is trying to save all those babies... I don't over anyone would have blinked if Jim would have put the bullet in his head rather than his knee.
