    @rustyroy: Or he could start Snyder's run.

    We're in the middle of Zero year.

    I thought he wanted a new read?....

    Yeah but he can't start in the middle of an arc'.

    @rustyroy: yes!

    Detective #30.

    Or Batman Eternal, but it's weekly and it's already 5 issues in, #6 comes out tomorrow.

    Yeah Eternal is great but I thought most people prefer Monthly instead weekly.

    @flameboy298: are you a Captain America fan? Wondering because of your profile pic. If you're not looking for something current Ed Brubaker had a good run on Batman. He also had a great run on Catwoman and Gotham Central.

    Court of Owls is worth the pick up.

    Court of Owls is good so pick it up. Other than Batman there's Brian and Manapul's Flash run, Azzarello's Wonder Woman run and the current Aquaman book is also good. I've heard good things about Pak's Action Comics. Btw have you read Morrison's Batman and JLA runs?
