    I've been reading the trades of Snyder's run on Batman, but I'm thinking about reading another batman family title. I would like to have some of your opinions on what would compliment the main Batman book or something that is just as great.

    Batman and Robin by Peter Tomasi and Nightwing by Kyle Higgins are probably the 2 best Bat-books not written by Scott Snyder. I've only read the first trade of Nightwing so far, but it seems to tie in a great deal with what Scott Snyder is doing in Batman (while still being its own story).

    Batman and Robin is a very good title. If you plan to start at the beginning, the first arc is awesome and explores Batman and Robin's complicated relationship. Nightwing is also an awesome book, and although Batman only makes a few guest appearances, it's one of the best bat-books out there.

    Batwoman and Batwing are good too. these are not about Batman but people are mentioning Nightwing so I thought I should also mention those.
