    Hi :)

    So I heard about No-Man's Land saga and it sounds really, really good. Up until today I've read Hush, Court of Owls, and soon Long Halloween. Are there any other stories I should read before getting No-Man's Land (to avoid plot holes and stuff)?

    Thanks in advance :)

    I read no mans land myself and I must say that it is a very good read, and covers a wide span of the bat family. The story arc "cataclysm" happens before no mans lad, and is like a prelude to no mans land. I didn't read cataclysm and still understood no mans land perfectly (no plot holes, understood everything). No mans land basically tells you enough of what happened, so I wouldn't say it's necessary to read Cataclysm but it's up to you.

    Thanks :) some guy on another forum told me I wouldn't understand shit if I didn't read some more Batman stories before getting to No-Man's Land. But I wanted to ask you people here as well. So are you 100% sure that I'd understand the whole story?

    Yes I am sure, all you need to know is that there was an earthquake in Gotham prior to no mans land, and that's why most citizens left. No problem
