Following on from my last request which asked for decent Batman comics, what do people think is the best current Batman comic series? Year one seems to rate well, should I try that? I have bought Injustice Gods Among Us issue 6 today, which includes Batman and I must say I quite like it. Thanks.
Batman
Character » Batman appears in 23651 issues.
Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swore to avenge their deaths. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, mastering martial arts, detective skills, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on the fears of criminals, and utilizing a high-tech arsenal, he became the legendary Batman.
Best current Batman comic series
My favorite is Scott Snyder's "Batman." And Year One? Do you mean Zero Year? If so, that's Snyder's run. But, Batman Inc. is good as well. Detective Comics and Dark Knight are eh...
Scott Snyder's Batman is the best Batman book out now, but it's starting to get annoying for me. The last two arcs were egregiously "meh", and Scott is going to have to do something pretty great if he intends to entertain with Zero Year, even though we all know Batman's origins.
It's funny (not ha ha funny) that at the start of the New 52 everybody thought Snyders Batman was the best thing since sliced bred now slowly but surely Detective seems to be creeping ahead of it in terms of most peoples opinions

well,the hype they build up for him(the FANS not DC) backfired to their faces.

Yes, sorry, meant Zero year.
Batman Incorporated, Batman, and Detective Comics. Inc uses great batman characters and has a serious story that will want you wanting to know more.
I am surprised by all the 'Tec responses. Layman has been decent, but I haven't found him to be that spectacular. Rather heavy handed on the script and brought in a lot of needless references to other books. I was also pretty sick of Penguin stories though when I read him, so that might have affected my opinion. Fabok's art is gorgeous though.
I think the best two Batman comics are Batman and Batman & Robin. They generally duke it out, and it will vary from month to month which title rises to the top.
@bezza: batman zero year is the current story arc taking place in the batman series you are looking for.
