    Batman - Black Mirror has to be the darkest Batman comic Ive read, and absolutely fantastic. One that I'll definitely read again. The Earth One series is great too, only two so far but I hear a third is coming out soon.

      I agree, a great Batman comic. Got it on .cbr but ordered it and will pick it up when I next go back to UK. One of my favorite Batman comics for sure.

  • @rustincohle8982
    @rustincohle8982 9 лет назад +2

    Don't know if you left it out because you don't favour it or because DG is Batman in it, but The Black Mirror is fantastic. Gordon's son coming back and the whole gritty, extremely dark undertone of the book is played out to perfection for me. Although, for a first timer I'd imagine seeing DG in the cowl might be confusing. Good list though, mate!

  • @kimnorth7060
    @kimnorth7060 5 лет назад +2

    i have read face to face, the joker story and no man's land. Although I think they were all great I don't think that topped Dark Knight returns, but hey it's just my opinion - thanks for the recommendations - enjoyed all of them

  • @Futurevenomzone
    @Futurevenomzone 8 лет назад +4

    A Lonely Place of Dying By Marv Wolfman and George Perez is a great story that I feel is underrated, it features the first appearance of Tim Drake and even gives reasoning to one of the criticisms of Batman v Superman.
    And if you're a Robin hater then it might change you're opinion

    • @kratosgow2

  • @tzion_williams7238
    @tzion_williams7238 5 лет назад +1

    Everyone loves Dark Victory & Long Halloween (which I do too!) but Haunted Knight is on those levels too even for being a 3 issue story compared to 13 or 14. Shaman is fantastic and a great layer of story to add to Year One being that it takes place at the exact same time of that story. I believe that Under The Red Hood for being quite popular, doesn’t get the recognition it deserves for the fantastic captivating story it tells. Batman Chronicles: The Gauntlet is a GREAT Early first robin story. As well as both Robin Year One & Batgirl Year One.

  • @antona.1327
    @antona.1327 5 лет назад +1

    My list of the most underrated Batman comics will mostly come down to the stories published in the Legends of the Dark Knight series, which I find to be criminally underrated as an ongoing series. In no particular order, my list would probably go: Legends of the Dark Knight: Shaman. Legends of the Dark Knight: Mask. Batman: The Fugitive. Legends of the Dark Knight: Venom. Legends of the Dark Knight: Faith.

  • @dreddbustya2153
    @dreddbustya2153 7 лет назад +8

    The Dark Knight Returns ain't overrated. Have you read the run-of-the-mill comics? They have a knack of telling you how important the character is. P.S. I think the most underrated Batman story is Prey, beautifully gothic and creepy.

    • @raymondmyers2481
      @raymondmyers2481 6 лет назад +1

      I agree 100 percent. Prey is my favorite story too. And TDKR is far from overrated, its a masterpiece buuut i also know what OP meant by that. Its frustrating that its so highly regarded to the point that the rest of batmans rich history goes unacknowledged.

    • @robertt9342
      @robertt9342 6 лет назад

      Raymond Myers . It seems you described how it is overrated, so thanks for clarifying that.

    • @vitocorleone2413
      @vitocorleone2413 5 лет назад

      the story was ok, the art was kinda dull, i think the reason why the dark knight returns is a legend cuz it's influence, not the story itself

    • @VonWenk
      @VonWenk 5 лет назад

      @@vitocorleone2413 I read TDKR when it was first released in the mid-'80s, and the line "Why do you think I wear a target on my chest?" has stuck with me to this day, as has Joker breaking his own neck to frame Batman. Plus, I have a trade paperback edition in addition to the original individual issues, so the story itself is that good.

  • @raymondmyers2481
    @raymondmyers2481 6 лет назад +1

    As someone who's always aspired to start a comic book collection and just started one yesterday (Batman Year One, Arkham Asylum and Knightfall Broken Bat) What should I get. I've written down on a list the essentials like Dark Knight Returns, Watchmen, Hush, Man Who Laughs, Killing Joke, Noel, Civil War, Walking Dead, Death in the Family (Both Versions), Death of Superman collections, certain Star Wars comics and others. Can whoever sees this type comments that say what other essential comics are. I'm a huge nerd for almost everything, so Deadpool, Spiderman, Star Wars, Superman and ESPECIALLY Batman. Please I just want the essentials and thank you

  • @DizzyWolf01
    @DizzyWolf01 9 лет назад

    I totally agree that Dark Knight Returns is the most overrated Batman story. It's not even that I was disappointed because of overhype either because I got it under the premise that it was good and thought it was ok, only to find that it is considered one of the best Batman stories ever told... Hm.

    • @robertt9342
      @robertt9342 6 лет назад

      DizzyWolf01 . I think it's pretty subjective. Even if someone loved the book, it's overrated because it's so highly regarded it casts a shadow on the rest of the stories.

  • @alexanderraedle8538
    @alexanderraedle8538 8 лет назад

    Thank you or these recommendations. I am quite new to the Batman comic world so would you say that "Broken City" and "Haunted Knight" are underrated and/or worth buying as well? I am not under the impression that these two are praised by many. However, since I am German I looked for Top 10-Batman Comics lists on German websites too and I came across two lists. One included "Broken City" and the other one included "Haunted Knight". Those weren't "Top 10 underrated Batman Comics" lists by the way. I really enjoyed "The Long Halloween" and "Dark Victory" so I guess "Haunted Knight" could be a safe choice right?

    • @WulffDen
      @WulffDen  8 лет назад +1

      +SoulTrain I wouldn't recommend Brocken City. Haunted Knight is very different from Long Halloween and Dark Victory but still a fun read.

      Overall i like the story
      Just think ot couldve been structured better

    • @VonWenk
      @VonWenk 5 лет назад

      The weakest part of "Hush" for me was the first three or four issues. Once I got past those, I really got into it, which I don't remember experiencing with Superman story Jim Lee drew afterward.
