Reddit reviews Batman and Son

The actual fight/sneak attack takes place in [Batman & Son] (http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Son-Grant-Morrison/dp/1401212417), the first arc of Morrison's Batman.

Here you go:

• Batman and Son
  
• Batman: The Black Glove
  
• Batman RIP
  
• Time and the Batman
  
• Batman and Robin vol. 1: Batman Reborn
  
• Batman and Robin vol. 2: Batman vs. Robin
  
• Batman and Robin vol. 3: Batman and Robin Must Die
  
• Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne
  
• Batman Incorporated
  
• Batman Incorporated: Demon Star
  
• Batman Incorporated: Gotham's Most Wanted
  
  And that's it!

It's really more than one arc to get the whole story. It starts with Batman & Son, then The Black Glove, then Batman RIP and Final Crisis. The aftermath is The Return of Bruce Wayne and The first volumes of Batman & Robin and now Batman Inc..

Modern Batman is currently in the middle of a long, long running story. It started when Grant Morrison came on board for Batman and son.

At the moment Bruce Wayne is lost in time and Dick Grayson (the first Robin) is being Batman in an Amazing 12 part book called "Batman & Robin" Its trying to mix the style of the goofy tv series with the darker elements of todays Batman and is working quite well. It should be fairy easy to follow if you just wanna jump right in but you may want to wiki the characters and the status quo.

On a side note, over at marvel, Captain America is currently lost in time and his sidekick, Bucky, is being Cap. The comic book industry is always so original.

For Batman I would start with Batman and Son it's the start of an epic Batman story that goes on for about 8 years. Not so sure on Doom though. Also the sidebar has really good suggestions, my personal favorites are Batman The Long Halloween and Dark Victory.

I hope you enjoy it! Here are some of my favorites that I prefer over the Frank Miller stuff:

Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale (These are my favorites, lots of stuff taken from these in The Dark Knight film):

The Long Halloween

Dark Victory

Haunted Knight


Others:

The Killing Joke (You simply must read this one)

Batman and Son

Identity Crisis (Haven't read this one yet, but the plot sounds awesome!)

Non-Batman stuff:

Maximum Carnage (My first graphic novel that someone gave to me. It's spectacular!)

Watchmen
