Hi all :).
I apologize for what must be a very familiar question here, but being totally lost I'm, well, hoping for some wise advice haha. I'd like to see if I can get into comic books. I know *of* some of the bigger ones (Marvel/DC stuff) and some of the basics of the backstories of the bigger ones, but not the (to me at least) more intricate stuff - I didn't know Bane was a villain until The Dark Knight Rises came out, and even then, I didn't know that Bane broke his back haha.
I really enjoyed the Dark Knight trilogy (the Nolan movie one I mean) and I think I might want to get into Batman (I'm enjoying playing Arkham Asylum on PC) but I don't know if this is a good starting point? Like, I know DC has rebooted their entire lineup, but what with there being multiple Batman series, which ones am I supposed to look into? What about stuff from other publishers?
In general, I'd prefer to have it "all at once" and read it that way, rather than having to wait each week/month for the new one to come out. I think that going digital may work better for me (due to physical storage space). The thing is, though, I tend to prefer stuff with great character development. This is really big to me. I like the whole "trying to rise above the odds/difficult circumstances" and I'd like for it to be relatable - doesn't need to be realistic, but as long as I can relate, that's good for me.
Does anyone know where I can start? Thanks so very much for any assistance. Also please don't infer anything from the Batman references - I just use them becuase that's what's been in my mind as of late.
