    Well you got Hush, Long Halloween, Black Mirror, Dark Victory, and Broken City.

    Also you got Dennis O'Neil's Run.

    People keep saying TLH is a good detective story, and I keep asking in what lifetime. It took Batman four months to track down the Riddler, when he was just hanging out in bars... some detective :/ lol, also, Batman never even solved the crime sooo...

    @willienotwilliam: I haven't read much with true detective work.

    The show "The brave and the bold" had a stroy with "Sherlock holmes" : Trials of the Demon!

    A good one I can think of is : Batman Adventures: Shadows & Masks, where Bruce Wayne infiltrates the false-face society..

    I also remember : Knightquest: The Search, Batman has been broken by Bane and can't manage any hard work, so Alfred and Bruce go on a simpler detective mission that takes them to England.

    Not really Batman stories but Gotham Central is good.

    That's all I can add for now.
