I've been flicking through a lot of Batman graphic novels recently but cant make my mind up which new 52 title to go for...what is your favourite?

Batman. I really liked the Court of Owls stuff, I thought the Death of the Family was mediocre, and I think Zero Year is great.

I would've said Batman and Robin, but the title feels like it's been meandering since Damian died.

Detective Comics has been good ever since Layman took over, too, but it's yet to blow me away.

For me I've grown a liking to Red Hood and the Outlaws, since Lobdell left though I've been a bit uninterested with the early parts of what Tynion has been doing but he's built enough intrigue as far as I'm concerned with the current arc. Aquaman has so far been consistent in quality so that's a plus and I've enjoyed the Batman title though I admit I'm one of those people that isn't really a fan of how Scott Snyder ended both DotF and Night of Owls I do like his writing style. Earth 2 has definitely managed to grab my attention.

There are others but the swapping of writers has made things that some have a great first half weak latter half while others have a great second half but weak first.

To list it off

RHATO, Aquaman, Batman and Earth 2 are my favorites so far.

Only read the Justice League to be honest, but Flash Batman and Superman are all on my list of purchases. I'm liking these new graphic novels a lot.

Swamp thing/ Am were great until rotworld.

Batman was great until night of the owls

Batman and robin was great during the nobody arc. They do a very good job lately considering the circumstances but with robin dead the book is just a shadow of what it should be

Justice league is still struggling : it started to become good with throne of Atlantis. Trinity war had its moments. Forever evil can be great... But so far johns has been unable to really knock it out of the park

I have a soft spot for john constantine and Constantine and jl dark are nice but they're not great

As of now the dc book I enjoy reading the most is not part of the new 52, it's injustice god among us... If someone had told me a year ago that the best dc book would be a vodeogame adaptation...

This is Batman Only, pretty sure.

Batman,Bats and Robin, and DC since layman took over

Green Arrow used to be one of the worst of the New 52. Ever since Lemire and Sorrentino came along, it's been one of the best.

Batman and Robin, Detective Comics.

I think he was just asking specifically for Batman series since he posted in the Batman forum.

Don't feel bad though, I almost did the same thing when I first saw the topic lol.

I didn't even see it was in the Batman forum.

Detective Comics is great.

I almost thought this was the best New 52 book thread. In terms of the Bat Family, I'd rate Batman and being the best of the bunch. Tomasi has consistently written the best quality Batman stories despite a dip with War of the Robins and that Zombie arc. Snyder's been variable in quality, Detective has only been good since Layman came on and The Dark Knight isn't good either.

Batman Inc.

Still not as bad as Hawk and Dove. I just couldn't believe how awful it was compared to all the others.

Agreed but its over.

Ill have to go with Swamp Thing, its been good all the way in my opinion.

Batman/Superman, its the only way I would ever read a Bat title, with Superman in it.

I loved all the Scott Snyder BATMAN stuff. I'd say, so far, it goes Zero Year, Death of the Family, and Court of Owls.

I also am enjoying the current Batman/Superman story.

Batman. Though only up to night of owls. I really didn't enjoy DoTF.

Justice League also rocks.

Batman

Detective comics

Actually you are right, I was thinking graphic novel titles under the new 52 heading.

I would go with the Court of Owls, because you get a good pretty stand a lone story, however if you really enjoy it, there's more. Either way you'll be satisfied. Kind of like the Long Halloween and Dark Victory. I really enjoyed the Death of the Family up until the last issue, which turned me off from the story. It wasn't a bad issue though! However, I was reading all the tie-ins which may have influenced it. I was pretty sick of villains being overpowered in the New 52. I don't like Riddler having over 20 ways to break out of his cell or Joker being able to "teleport" all over the place with ninja skills. The story is so dark, that when things like that happen, it seems really cheesy to me.

Catwoman for me hands down. Second is AquaMan and third GreenArrow, but if the new writer can't dishout for aquaman, then green arrow is moving up.

Batman.

Batman (Snyder) + Nightwing + Batgirl for ultimate Batman experience. Catwoman and Batwoman both trash.

Batman is very overrated.

• Court of owls was derivative, full of filler, had no real conclusion and had poor characterization of Batman.
• DofF likewise had poor characterization, and an ending that had absolutely no impact whatsoever.
• Zero year had been OK so far, although the changes Snyder have made to both Batman's and Joker's origins have only detracted from the characters.

TDK and DC have both been hit and miss, with some good issues and some wtf issues.

Batman and Robin is the only series that has been consistently excellent.

The Nobody arc and handling the death of Damian were perfect. Without Robin the title has still been good.

Gotta say, I'm loving Red Hood too. But my favorite would have to be Batman or Batman/Superman.

I'm kind of new to comics, but having recently been introduced to plenty of comic books by a couple of friends, these are my favourites:

- Justice League of America

- The Flash (the first graphic novel is incredible!)

- Suicide Squad (the graphic novel usually reads better because the story is so complex, they can't usually fit enough information in the comic books)

and finally...

- Batman comics and Batgirl comics (the Batman graphic novels are obviously amazing, especially the latest one, and the Batgirl graphic novels are far too underrated - I think they're brilliant)

Batman by Scott Snyder

C'mon dude,'Batman' no competition.....what?...Batman Inc.?......Dark Knight?....Legends?.....they dont even come second....

Li'l Gotham
