Chronological order. The original post says “ten best Batman stories” (interpreting as not limited to only comics), so I am throwing in some other media. I am counting the Dark Knight trilogy as a...
I’m a DC Universe subscriber. I copied the following text from the “fine print” at the bottom of an email I received recently. The Rewards Program is ending this week, and reward tokens expire next...
I think Batman and Detective Comics should be the only ongoing Batman related comic book series. I think they should only do mini or maxiseries with a predetermined number of issues (12 max) for any...
This is from Detective Comics #702, the Epilogue issue to Legacy, cover dated October 1996. This same "From the Den" column was printed in all the other Bat books that month also. Sure enough, Denny...
When Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005, I'll admit it made me think of No Man's Land.
I've watched a few of those "Ask Chuck Dixon" videos before, I see them pop up in my Facebook feed every so often. I enjoy listening to what he has to say, even though I don't always agree with him...

Chuck Dixon talks about his thoughts on Knightfall, Contagion, Legacy, Cataclysm, No Man’s Land, and Fugitive in this YouTube video (starting at about 17:15). Very...
I agree Kane deserves credit, at the very least because he was the one who had the deal with DC that made Batman happen. He came up with the basic name “Bat-Man”. But Bill Finger no doubt at all made...
I would love to see anything new or unreleased by Breyfogle! He passed too young. His Zsasz is my favorite! One of the first comics I ever bought was Batman #493, Knightfall part 3, featuring Zsasz,...
Denny’s impact is that his story in 1973 laid the foundation for future Joker stories that followed. I don’t deny Miller’s additional (and higher profile) impact, but without O’Neil there might not...
I don’t think the “average Joe” would know the name of any single writer we’ve mentioned, sadly (except maybe Frank Miller). But yes, Denny’s mainstream splash was being the first writer in 30 years...
It’s his penultimate story, I believe Denny also wrote a story for next week’s Green Lantern special.
Denny O’Neil wrote a story in the Joker 80th anniversary special. Denny had a huge impact on the Joker, I’d argue more so than any other writer mentioned in this thread, with his 1973 story in Batman...
I was devastated when I learned of Denny's passing also. I agree with the rest of what you said, just based on my memory of starting to read and collect Batman during his era of editorship. Denny was...
Adding on to some of the Knightfall conversation above...... I was only 10/11/12 years old when the Knightfall saga was originally released, and that was when I first started reading/collecting...
Check out my latest post in this linked thread! Feel free to discuss there, or here. I figured since this involves a story that was written smack dab in the middle of the post crisis, pre new 52,...
This post is 19.5 years in the making! I have been waiting that long to see this story. The "Batman Arkham: Victor Zsasz" collection has been out for a few months now (since February), but I wasn't...

Denny O'Neil passed away yesterday. He was born in 1939, the same year as Batman's first appearance. It is no understatement to say that comic books, and Batman, would not be the same today without...
Here is an internet time capsule with reviews of Hama's run, this link is almost 20 years old. The reviewer "JYD", used to be a prolific poster on DC's official message boards back in the late...
I think the Detective Comics arc pre-Knightfall (#652-653) is definitely the "inciting incident" you're looking for. I believe this two-parter was the first time Chuck Dixon wrote Huntress, and then...
