This video is a freaking blessing. I have a HUGE manga collection and always wanted to get into comics. I bought multiple issues but I couldn't figure out what was going on. So, the only comics I've ever read were the TF2 comics, Overwatch comics, some MLP comics, and The Umbrella Academy. Since they all make sense to me. Just knowing where to start is a big chunk of the battle. Thank you, kind friend. Edit - It's been 6 months since I watched this video and I've become a DC fanboy since then. I've been reading not only Batman but other DC heroes. Once again, thanks for this video

I don't think your explanation of canon is quite right. Canon in comics has nothing to do with quality or even importance, all it means in this context is that stories which are canon to each other happened in the same world. The Dark Knight Returns for example was very influential and important, but it's not canon because it's a what-if alternate future and none of it happened to the version of Batman in the current comics.

@Dan Evans You don't have to be a gatekeeper about it. Not everyone can afford to pay for it.

Very detailed and honest description of reading comics, really great work

"Grant Morrison's run is another great run by the way, but you basically need a PhD on Batman to get the most out of it" wise words!

I've recently fallen back in love with Batman after Matt Reeves' masterful take on the character, but I don't need another moneypit to sink into, so the way I've gone about diving into the comics are as follows: Year One The Long Halloween Dark Victory Night of The Owls (just to get a taste of a modern Batman) The Dark Knight Returns If you ignore the glaring inconsistencies that arise from the inclusion of Night of The Owls, it's a pretty cohesive overarching storyline that has both the beginning and the end of the Batman. Even just treating the New 52 storyline as a separate continuity, treating the other 4 as one big Batman story is a really cool way of getting to know and understand the character.

I like like how you always say “the Batman”, makes him sound like a real legend.

ive been wanting to start comics for a while and videos like these really help, thank you

I have watched dozens of videos on the subject but this one really is the best and most convincing. Subscribed.

This was so in depth and super helpful. Thanks a lot, can't wait to start reading!

Good vid. I'd made a mistake years ago when I started with The Dark Knight and The Killing Joke. It was too huge a jump from the Batman I remembered watching in cartoons an TV shows. I re-started with the Denny O'Neil/Neal Adams run. That helped me to appreciate how far the character had come.

Thanks this was a great help. I already own the long halloween but I think I'll start with year one

Luckily not all comics are this confusing to get into. It's mostly just the DC and Marvel superhero stuff, which is usually revered to as "reading comics", that seem to be hard to get into. We forget the fact that when we refer to comics it's not just DC and Marvel superheroes. Something like The Walking Dead for ex. is a comic that is straight forward to understand where to begin and end. You just read Issue #1 to #193. No worries of different universes, shared universes, universe events, reboots, cannon or not cannon. So what's being said in the video mostly only applies to the big 2 publishers.

Thanks for this! So helpful :)

i appreciate this. my cousin used to drop me off by the used comic crates at the comic book store by our house and i'd read random bat comics out of order and i've always wanted to actually get some cohesive story out of it, so this video is very useful.

Great video. Just starting getting into comics after being a super nerd for decades! Starting off with Court Of Owls and the 2018 Amazing Spider-Man series!

This video is so helpful!

Really great video with some great suggestions! I'm nearing the end of my first New 52 Batman read-through, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone! It just encapsulates everything great about Batman and delivers some great stories in "Court of Owls", "Death of the Family", "Zero Year", and "Endgame".

Thank you for providing some clarity on how the world of comics works!!!

My first batman comic was the killing joke and that had me fall in love with batman

thanks for this. Really cleared things up.

Excellent video man ! You deserve wayyyy more subs and likes !

I'd still recommend Morrison's run on the bat-books to new readers, even though I would suggest reading "Batman: The Black Casebook" as pre-requisite, otherwise you're gonna be super lost. His run probably made the most significant changes to the mythos in the past 2 decades, plus there are numerous reading orders for his run on the internet so it shouldn't be hard to get into that.

Hey man you helped me a lot from where to start i allready know a lot of the lore and comics but you helped me what runs to read

Thanks man, I was looking for exactly this advice 👍

I just decided I wanted to start reading Batman comics and this is gonna help me a lot. Thank you so much :]

This was very helpful. Thanks a bunch :)

THANK U SO MUCH. Oh my god I’ve looked at this for hours for 3 days now. Everyone else was like read detective comics issue 273-272 and then randomly jump over to this other series and read a certain amount of it. This seems so much more simple

OH MY GOD THANKS I have been asking people for years and I always get a half asked response. This is the best order ever thank you.

Thanks a lot man! this is definitely gonna help me in my new journy to reading comics it'd be really cool if you did the same kinda guide for other characters as well

Stumbled upon this video as a long-time Batman reader and while I do think it's SUPER well done as an easy entry point for new readers, I want to drop a few of my own recommendations for some good, yet easy to read Batman stories. - Venom - Going Sane - Catwoman - When In Rome (Obviously more of a Catwoman story, but it's a personal favorite) - A Lonely Place of Dying - Prey

Great vid. Im gonna start with year one

I actually did a bit of everything in this video to start reading comics. First i bought year one, long halloween and dark victory. Then for Christmas a few months later i got the scott snyder run (vol. 1-10 in the 3 box set). Now i got a whole bunch and i have no plans on stoping anytime soon lol

great video

Anyone interested in started Scott Snyders run, Amazon sell it in 3 collected box sets. Amazing run and definitely worth collecting

Knight fall is amazing

My first Batman comics was A Death in the Family and No Mans Land (not knowing there were parts 2,3,4). Was a little confusing but just start somewhere. It really doesn’t matter

started with Flashpoint, then with the Court of Owls and Year one the next thing on my list is Long Halloween and the Rebirth Green Lantern lines

BATMAN - THE CULT BATMAN - TEN NIGHTS OF THE BEAST BATMAN - VENOM

Scott Snyder Batman run is very good

I’ve just started getting into Batman comics and a massive recommendation for me is Batman: Universe by Nick Derington and Brian Michael Bendis- it’s refreshingly light hearted and work well if you’ve seen the Brave and the Bold TV show, played the Lego games or watched the original 66 movie.

This video is soooo good

can you do a How To Start Reading green lantern Comics please ?

I don't think The Dark Knight Returns is a good starting point, because I see it more as a this-is-batman-at-his-absolute-worst kind of story, which makes it more of a subversion of Batman than anything. I think it's the kind of comic you need to know all about the character already before reading.

Injustice got me into comics and arkham unhinged #8 was the first book I read along with Injustice #1. Arkham unhinged volume 1 had dlc in the back for city and I fell back into arkham city. I still love comics to this day because of rocksteady and there masterpieces

You should try the new Peter Tomasi run on dc rebirth detective comics

i would say read batman year one,the long halloween, and maybe the man who laughs bc that’s batman’s first two years and a retelling of batman’s first encounter with joker

Great video

Thanks

2:09 I’m getting year one so I’m about to read the considered canon origin story of Batman 😁!! The reason why I got it was A. Playing Arkham origins and B. Hearing it’s a good comic!

I am thankfull videos like these exist... when I was little I liked Batman and DC, but I have never really been invested in it as much as Marvel. I have only recently gotten a spark of interest because I have realized that DC, in terms of films, does not care as much as Marvel cares when adapting their characters. After this realization i am now interested in DC.

As a HUGE Daredevil fan, have always heard that Batman is the best character for me to get into DC wise. Just finished reading Batman: Year One and Batman: Hush. Both of those were fantastic and am wondering where to look next. My question is how integral the Justice League and surrounding Bat Family comics are? I do have a few Nightwing comics, but how important is it for me read like Catwoman for example?

Good video

If you want a good look at a chronological order for Batman I would highly suggest looking at Geek History Lesson's video on the Batman Chronological timeline. It doesn't have everything, but it gets a lot of the main events that are important to the character.

Just a note, imo dark knights returns is fantastic, but it’s even better if you’ve read a couple of stories when he’s younger. Not a billion, just a couple to get acquainted and used to normal Batman, then read a grittier older Batman in dark knight returns

i was always more of a superman fan and i'm still am, but after playing the arkham games and watching year one movie animation i became more curious to see more about batman xD

is Knightfall volume 1 enough if you just wanna know about Bane's origin story? or do you recommend all of them?

I challenge! Zero Year is better start for new readers since it covers flavor modern Batman(11-now) and (96-11)retro Batman who leans more fantastical and scifi tends to be. Year-one is only if you're going through the post crisis Batman like stories set right after Crisis on Infinite Earth's since that Batman is full on old school like the Year One version. The run approach is best since the second a writer shifts it's pretty much a reboot with an occasional nod or something little popping up. Also avoid the Tom King Batman that's pretty much the Last Jedi of Batman down to having the character be a failure because it's subversive.

I would recomend one of the newer comic books Batman three jokers you get to see how important Batman and jokers relationship is and Joe chill’s perspective on killing Batman parents

Ima do all of them

Next video thoughts on new Joker movie

Hey how do I get these chronological list u talked about

I Recomend you to Read Wolverine Old Man Logan.

Wow! You actually recommended that people read 'Batman Eternal'. Ok. I've heard enough!

Read Batman Year One TPB by Frank Miller, Long Halloween is good also, after that watch the Batman 1966 TV series, watch the Superman movies(yes Superman) , then read Dark Knight Returns.

Just remember, if you read Snyder’s run you wanna red Batman eternal after finishing year one

Netflix and chill I could see how that would roll I know none of this stuff retains to the subject at hand. 🤣😂 I just love the Batman series entirely the rogues gallery even the sidekicks.

Hey from the future (06.04.20) actually at the time of this video Batman was 2x a month. Actually The Killing Joke was ALWAYS meant to be 'Cannon' why else did they write the Batgirl Special setting up Babs' retirement and only 1 (or 2) months later did we get Oracle in Suicide Squad? Bane did NOT 1st appear in Knightfall he 1st appeared in Batman: Vengeance of Bane that was one of the starting points (along with Batman: Sword of Azrael) the prequel to Knightfall

Sweet Jesus what am I getting myself into.

is there a site where i can read comics for free for a beginner in comics to general

you couldn't have put it better. I would have suggested the same
