@Jorgevy: ok thanks :)

think i will give the first volume a go when they release the trades.

what titles have you been particularly enjoying since the relaunch?

@Jorgevy: i've heard really good things about birds of prey, and will probably get that.

teen titans, like a say, i like tim drake, but don't really know any of the other characters in it. is it easy to get in to? like, will i follow it if i haven't read any previous teen titans? and will i enjoy it only based on being interested in tim's character?

now a lot of the new 52 trades are coming up for pre-order i was wondering what other batman fans thought of the some of the other titles featuring characters form the batman family?

i'm a tim drake fan, so should i read teen titans? i've never read any teen titans before...

and what about birds of prey and red hood?

i've already put my pre-orders down for batman, batman and robin, detective comics, batgirl, batwoman, batwing.

not getting dark knight, as from what i've read in previews and what i've heard it sucks.

not decided on catwoman yet... heard mixed things.

and i will be getting nightwing, but the pre-order isn't up yet.

(also, non-batman titles i'll probably get are animal man, swamp thing and aquaman... any other particularly good?)

thaaanks! :D

@KenTheProfile: thanks :)

yeah i was going to get whatever happened... forgot to put it in my post, i have heard good things about it.

seeing as i have battle for the cowl, i will prob pick up the companion as well.

@kingjoeg: what?

thanks for everyone's help. i will prob end up getting all of them to be honest, i can't help myself.

is there anything there that i'm missing out that would be good?

i saw the dark knight - golden dawn trade in a shop... what did people think to that?

from what i've read of the new 52 dark knight series - i'm not a fan, is golden dawn just that but pre-new 52?

thanks optimist, that was very helpful.

i'll def be getting the red robin and batgirl books, but undecided about final crisis, i'll look into it a bit more :s

oh, i also have gates of gotham and black mirror, they come after all of these, just before the start of the new 52, am i right?

ah thanks, i really liked the look of the red robin series, so i ordered the first one to give it a go :)

think i'll order the batgirl one too then, i've heard good things about it!

i've been reading through a lot of batman trades over the last year.

coming up to the start of morrison's run, which i'm looking forward to.

i'm wondering what people thought of a few of the story arcs from batman and son up to the start of new 52.

i checked the order on this thread - http://www.comicvine.com/batman/29-1699/the-full-batman-timeline-in-chronological-order-with-mistakes/92-654156/

one i own and yet to read -

batman and son

black glove

r.i.p.

resurrection of ra's al ghul.

battle for the cowl

batman reborn

batman vs robin

batman and robin must die

time and the batman

the road home

return of bruce wayne

i have also just ordered red robin 1 - the grail, what do people think of this run, there are 4 trades in total? i like tim drake as a character.

also thought about the batgirl run (rising, the flood, the lesson) is it any good?

and where to the red robin and batgirl trades fit in the timeline?

what other one for this period would people recommend / not recommend?

which of these are worth it / not worth it ? -

battle for the cowl companion

long shadows

life after death

eye of the beholder

golden dawn

any others?

also - should i read final crisis?

ok phew, sorry a lot to throw out there. any help would be very much appreciated!

thanks!
