Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

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.)

So there's no Wiki that'll put all this together?

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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

HELL YEAH!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Tomorrow is the new Powers #1!

Dude! Rock! That should make my day a teeny bit better.

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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

From earlier:

Argent and Damage.

Because trying to explain them was melting my brain.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

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.

Better link for Damage.

Confusing, aren't they?

Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs:

Tomorrow's (partial) pull-list:

Powers #1 - it's about time that it is out. Hopefully the increased promotion through Marvel will spread the word.

Birds of Prey #69 - New story-arc begins, and the title will ship every other week for the next 6 issues, so the action should really hop.

Detective #796 - Robin teams up with Batman to take on Zsasz, plus a backup story where Orpheus tries to take down Batman (probably for show and setting things up for "War Games"). Tim Sale cover.

Firestorm #3 - I'm intrigued by the opening issues, and I'm dying to see how Ronnie Raymond fits in.

Y, The Last Man #24 - Either this or Fables is the best Vertigo title published today, and I think it will stand up with the greats from the past ( Sandman, Preacher, Swamp Thing ).

I may also pick up the Star Wars: Clone Wars trade, because the shorts on the Cartoon Network kicked but. Maybe if books missing from last week don't appear again (my retailer blows hard - I wonder if the shop is in trouble).
