As per title I want to try Batman but need a recent jumping on point
Any advice
There are currently two main Batman titles in DC Rebirth* and both of their beginnings (Batman #1 and Detective Comics #934) work as good jumping on points. I would not recommend [I]Batman[/I] because of its dull plots and bad dialogue, and I give a recommendation with an addendum to Detective Comics. 'Tec is sometimes very good, other times not so much. However, if you're not too familiar with the BatFamily, this book prominently features a good number of them and for [I]most[/I] it's a decent introduction to them. Despite what some others on this forum will tell you, Batman himself is [I]excellent[/I] in this book. He's very much like the Batman from B:TAS, and it's my favorite version of Batman in the comics we've seen in MANY years.
*There was a third, All-Star Batman, but it just ended and I didn't read it.

Well first, I should have brought this up before but you should have made this thread on the Batman sub-forum. Just know for the future.
That aside, I'm of less help to you here. I personally don't feel the main Batman book has been worth reading since the early 2000s.
Can't help you; Tom King's run on [I]Batman[/I] has been my jumping [B][FONT=Century Gothic][U]off[/U][/FONT][/B] point.
Google the best Batman comics and read them.
I plug this site a lot, but it's GREAT for reading lists

The most recent would be DC Rebirth (not exactly the best books as mentioned by a lot of people)

then what was the point of posting anything? :confused:
To answer OP's question, I'd say you could jump on with the Bane arc as it sets up what's going with Bruce and Catwoman right now; however every arc is interconnected so you'll still be missing out on some important story elements. I say just start from issue 1 on some free comic reading site and try your best to catch up. I found it to be a very enjoyable run.
If you want recent and are a tradereader here are your starting points
Batman- I am Gotham
Detective Comics- Rise of the Batmen
Personally, I'd recommend taking a little time and have a look at [url]http://community.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?52361-Batman-FAQ-Best-Comics-for-New-Readers-Batman-v-Superman-Current-Titles-amp-Recent-Events[/url]
