Ranking Miller's Batman Works

[NK1988]

From favorite to least favorite, how would you rank Frank Miller's Batbooks?

I liked TDKR and thinking of getting Master Race or Year One. Oh and I have Last Crusade already.

Year One-Dark Knight Returns, a tie, two amazing books
Last Crusade, I enjoyed it quite a bit
Master Race, it was okay
Dark Knight Strikes Again, pretty bad, though there were some good ideas
All Star Batman & Robin, downright bad, cool art by Jim Lee, with some hilarious parts that are born from how ridiculous it is. Besides, it's an incomplete work

I didn't read any of his Batman/Spawn crossovers.

It’s kinda DKR & Year One and then there’s everything else. I did like Last Crusade.

[RepHope]

DKR & Year One are classics for a reason.
Last Crusade & Master Race are ok.
DKSA is godawful, from the writing to the art.
ASBAR is absolutely hilarious. I read it as a comedy because it's impossible to take seriously.

From best to least best (but I like them all):

The Dark Knight Returns
Year One
All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder
The Master Race
The Dark Knight Strikes Again
The Last Crusade
Spawn/Batman

[dietrich]

ASBAR
TDKR
Year One
TDKSA

I haven't read any others.

I legit love ASBAR. I don't take it seriously and Linkara likely had a lot to do with me liking it so much but man do I love that comic. It's hilarious and art is beautiful.

Absolutely get Year One! One of the best comics, period, let along Batman books.

I don't know if I'd recommend Master Race, but it's much more enjoyable, if less powerful, than Strikes Again.

Year One
The Last Crusade
The Dark Knight Returns
The Master Race
The Dark Knight Strikes Again

I don't know where to put All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder. The art is very good, but the fact that it's unfinished, and Batman and Robin are not heroic, is really weird. Plus, it's so distracted from the actual story of Batman, the way it portrays the Joker is sick, and on a coherency level it falls completely apart - but it does have Miller at his most noiry of noir (which is both good and bad). Plus, Sarah's alive again, which is always a plus for me.

Exactly, and I think that for "The Master Race", he co-wrote it with Brian Azzarello, that's why it's somewhat good.

ASBAR is #1 and can be fully appreciated only by individuals who have ascended

[gregpersons]

Year One
The Dark Knight Returns
The Golden Child
Last Crusade
DKIII: Master Race
All Star Batman & Robin
Dark Knight Strikes Again

[Robanker]

Batman: Year One is excellent.

The first half of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns is poetry.

Everything else is pretty woeful.
