Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
Of the ones I've read fully:
1. Detective Comics
2. Nightwing
3. Batman
4. Batgirl and the Birds of Prey
5. All-Star Batman
6. Batgirl
Edit: If Mother Panic is included, it would take the second-place spot.

Well I only read two soooo
- Red Hood
- Nightwing
That is all.
I only read Nightwing and Batman, and I like them in that order.
-Nightwing (by a wide margin)
-Trinity: (Love Manapul, but fell behind after issue 1.)
-Batman: Rebirth (It was okay. Dropped to trade wait.)
-Grayson (Fanastic series, but a forced conclusion this year to prep for Rebirth)
-Batman: New 52 (Picked up the issues after Bruce returned. Wasn't wowed)
-Detective Comics: Rebirth (I just don't like Tynion's writing)
-Night of the Monster Men (Not a series on its own, but so bad it needs its own rank.)
Haven't Read But Want To:
-Robin: Son of Batman (Gleason has been killing it with Tomasi on Superman)
-All-Star Batman (First arc looked awful, but everything upcoming has me excited.)
Not Bat-Books but Deserve a Bat-Mention
-Deathstroke: Rebirth (Batman was only in it for two issues, but it was enough to convince me that I want Priest on a Bat-Book. Some classic Batman and Robin storytelling.)
-Superman: Rebirth (Yet again Batman was only in it for 2 issues, but they were both fantastic. Looking foward to Bruce acknowledging his son's existance in Supersons.)
If I could put these two on the list, they'd be right below Nightwing, which speaks pretty loudly about how I felt about the Snyder (I mean Bat) Office this year.
It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?
Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.
-Dick Grayson (Batman Inc.)
At the moment,
* Mother Panic and Gotham Academy: Second Semester would be pretty much tied for my favorite(s)
* Batgirl
* Batgirl & the Birds of Prey
* Trinity
then I guess
* Nightwing (though I might drop this soon)
I'm dropping King's Batman after next issue; dropped Detective Comics when Red Robin "died"/disappeared; and haven't even bothered with A-SB nor RH&tO nor Harley Quinn.
(Did I leave anything out?)
Nightwing-The least spectacular but also the least frustrating of the books so this one gets my top pick. Very satisfying for Dick Grayson fans.
Batman-Second arc was a bit of a failed experiment in writing, but not terrible and the first arc was pretty decent. I trust King in the future.
'Tec-Gets by on good character moments and dialogue, stories are a bit underwhelming. Lost some investment once Tim left the book, still a satisfying read.
All Star-A decent premise and lots of good ideas bogged down by plot holes and an underwhelming sidekick. Could've been improved by Dick, Damian, Tim or Steph in Duke's place.
Harley Quinn-Underwhelming but entertaining read, makes a good lighthearted cliffnote at the end of my Wednesday reading session.
1. Tec - I really love what's happening in the book, as well as incredible art teams. It's not a deep, profound book, but it's pretty smart, and the characterization and group of characters are what I think the Batfamily needs.
2. Birds of Prey - what's that you say? It's Batgirl and the? Nup. I consider this the spiritual successor of the Birds of Prey I knew and loved all the way back in the mid 2000s. And I adore Roe's art - her Birds are very muscular!
3. Nightwing - an incredibly fun, breezy book, with the added plus of Marcus To in the second arc!
4. Batgirl - a big improvement in writing from the Fletcher/Stewart days, but the art is a bit of the same. Albuquerque got the book some class, but I think the next artist will be a big improvement.
5. Batman - I don't enjoy Finch's art very much, but Janin is great. King's writing something I'm not super interested in reading, but then, I generally am not interested in a Batman without most of his traditional (that is, 90s-early 2000s) family.
6. All-Star Batman - I really, really don't enjoy this one. Snyder is one of the most personable creators I've watched from the sidelines, but his work consistently underwhelms me in the endings.
Misc:
Deathstroke isn't a Batman book, but it's incredibly good on art and writing. And the Batman and Robin sections were really excellent. Give Priest a Bat book!
Superman, the sections with Bruce and Damian, was pretty solidly in the same kind of stuff that Tomasi and Gleason did for their Batman and Robin run. Very good, competent, but not something I'm really loving, except for Gleason's art.
Trinity - I love the art, but the story is not interesting to me at all, despite having very solid characterization.

Nightwing (by a hair)
Batman
Mother Panic
Detective Comics
All-Star Batman
Batgirl and the Birds of Prey
Trinity has been good, but I've stopped following it
Batgirl, I've dropped, due to lack of interest in the story, though it's not bad.
Gotham Academy, I've had trouble staying interested with the new semester despite loving the previous run
Red Hood and the Outlaws was an easy drop a few issues in
Deathstroke and Superman would be at the top, though not necessarily for their Bat-related issues
