I did look through one at the store and nothing jumped out that would totally freak me out or offend me.
They make a valiant attempt to offend everyone. I'm very proud of them.
If anyone is willing to lend me the first one I promise to take real good care of it.
Unfortunately, I doubt Thomash would send his TPBs through the mail. Loaning them to an LAista was a long shot.
Yep. Ollie, in GAv2#32, page 1, to Roy.
"I can't believe you let Dick name yourselves Outsiders. That kid... all he wants to do is outgrow Bats, but he loves him too damn much to step out of his shadow."
(Then Roy and Connor go to a strip club.)
So there's no Wiki that'll put all this together?
Why not?
Plei, I know you've been asked variants on this a million times, or so, but if someone said "Hey, I need to understand Batman. What
one
TPB whould I read?" Okay, maybe series of TPBs, so something like NML would count -- I'm not sure on that yet.
What would you say for Dick? Babs?

Dick and Babs would both get the respective Year Ones (because the were written after the fact, they're able to take advantage of who they are now in writing who they were) for a start.
Of the Nightwing trades out, I'd go for Rough Justice.
BoP trades, probably Of Like Minds or the two part Batgirl/Catwoman Oracle/Catwoman story. (Babs and Selina past and present.)

There are a lot of sites. Amych started a Dick Wiki, one of the ficcers out there has a really good, detailed Dick site, but I'm not in my brain finding a single Batwiki that covers them all. There is a need, I think.
Tomorrow is the new Powers #1!
Dude! Rock! That should make my day a teeny bit better.
I'm not in my brain finding a single Batwiki that covers them all.
I'm indiscriminate enough to want one bigger than Bats (no disrespect to your monomania). There's a lot I'd love to stitch together.
And there's the X-Men.
Thanks for the recs. I always think of DKR as the one true Batman story, because it shook so much stuff loose. But I agree with your pick.
From earlier:
Argent and Damage.
Because trying to explain them was melting my brain.
Wow. Thanks for the info, victor. We are talking about some pretty minor-league characters involved in the whole deal with them. Zero hour probably doesn't help, either.
