    Default Bronze Age Batman

    Any suggestions of collected stuff from this period? I found a Bronze Age Brave and the Bold but the sheer amount of Batman material make it difficult when I don’t know what I’m looking for.

    The "Legends of the Dark Knight" collections tend to cover bronze to copper age stories. They cover writers runs like Len Wein and Gerry Conway. So you can pick up the stories of writers you like.

    That was not done in the Bronze Age.

    When, exactly is the Bronze Age? I’m looking for 70’s stuff moving forwards

    The title can bounce around from Tales of Batman to Legends of the Dark Knight. Legends of the Dark Knight is the earlier Bronze age stuff. Len Wein was definitely 70's era. Conway is an example of Copper. I'm not sure what the confusion is.

    These were not reprints, and originally came out post-Crisis, which is when the Bronze Age ended for DC. I am not confused at all.

    Len Wein's run was the 70's,the books are reprints and most definitely pre-crisis. Just look at a solicitation. https://www.amazon.com/Tales-Batman-.../dp/1401251544

    Do you mean “Tales of the Batman” instead then?

    That seems to be the case yes, I apologise. Tales of the Batman is first, then Legends.

    No apology needed. Thanks for the clarification. I’ll add both series to my wish list on IST.
