In your opinion, which Batman stories are most important (The Long Halloween, Year One, etc.)?  Try not to list them all; just the ones that are the most important to Bruce Wayne's history.

Personally, I'd choose: Year One and TLH, the one where Jason dies (what's it called?), and maybe something from Batman, Inc. to give an idea of where he is currently.  There are so many great stories to choose from!
