    @blewist: Start with The Long Halloween or Year One. After that you can try The Man Who Laughs, Knightfall, Hush, and Under the Hood

    I wouldn't recommend Long Halloween, it's horrible.

    Read "Court of the Owls", "Death of the family" (not to confuse with Death in the family) "Year One", "The Dark Knight Returns", "The Killing Joke", Batman comics from the 70's and "The Batman Adventures" issues

    @blewist: Year One, that's the origin of Batman then Long Halloween , Dark Victory, The Man Who Falls. You can also try Arkham Asylum, TDKR, The Killing Joke.

    I would not start with The Dark Knight Returns. It reads much better when you know more about Batman so after few trades i would recommend it.
