After re-watching some behind the scenes features for "Batman Begins", I was reminded of how great a few of Batman's "early tales" are. By "early" I don't mean publishing date, but story continuity. "Batman: Year One" and "The Long Halloween" are two Batman stories that were drawn from heavily when crafting the script for "Batman Begins", and rightly so. These two books represent some the best, if not THE best Batman story-telling ever accomplished.
If you add "The Dark Knight Returns" and "The Killing Joke" (admittedly a Joker story) to the list, you've probably got the "must read" list of Batman tales.
And now I've realized its been far too long since I read them again. See ya!
