    To put this short-I'm new to comics and want to keep a list with 8 titles as a maximum. I can't decide which one of these to get. What's your choice? Thanks to anyone for posting.

    ummm it's really close but I say Earth 2. Batman Inc does have significant events which I won't spoil, just in case, but I think Earth 2 is more interesting and the drawing is better. are you reading any other bat-related books? then you should probably pick Earth 2. there are plenty of Bat-family books already

    @batmannflash: I know that Damian dies, if that's what you mean, but that's all I know (no specifics please) And I am reading 5 books, 3 of them are bat-related (Batman, Batman and Robin, and Nightwing. One of the main reasons I was thinking about Batman Inc. was because Damian died in it and I know that would affect other books. Do they cover this in the other bat-titles that involve Damian or do you have to get Batman Inc. to understand what happened?

    @rulerofthisuniverse: if i remember correctly, yes, they cover damian's death in Batman Inc (how he dies, why, etc...). i recommend Batman Inc if you wanna know that. They do go over the impact of his death heavily in Batman and Batman&Robin, but they don't go in depth of what actually happened. however, it isn't confusing at all if you don't read it. it's up to you. and just wondering, what are the other two books you are reading?

    @batmannflash: Thanks for the help. The other 2 books are Justice League and Aquaman, although I'm just got issue 1 of the flash and plan on catching up with that series because I really liked it (on the 5 other comics, I'm on month 6).

    I would say get Earth 2, you don't wanna overdose on Batman stuff.

    @tacos_kickass: Yeah, even though Batman's my favorite character, having that many bat-family titles would probably be a bit much.

    I guess I'll go with Earth 2. I might go to Batman Inc. when I get up to the Damian thing if it seems necessary. Thanks for your help!

    I actually prefer Earth 2 myself. Love the art especially in comparison to Bat Inc., and I also like the complete re-imagining of the characters.

    Batman Inc is better IMO, but its ending with #13 so you can get the TPB later, Earth 2 is great too.
