What're the top ten Bat-Stories of the 2010's?

Part of the reason why I ask is because I want to see if there's any good bat stories I missed out on.

No, apparently not.

Top ten I have no clue, but I liked the beginning of Court of Owls and some parts of the Snyder/Capullo run.
Maybe some one-shots in-between.

[Batman Begins 2005]

Interesting question. So that covers some of Grant Morrison's Batman and Robin into Batman, Incorporated. Of those: Batman and Robin Must Die, Batman: Leviathan Strikes One-Shot, the Talia Al Ghul issue #3 and the return of Batman 666.

Batman: The Black Mirror is by far Scott Snyder's best Batman story. If I were to do a top ten as the OP asked for, that would probably top it. I'd also recommend Endgame and Twenty-Seven by Snyder.

Peter J Tomasi's Batman and Robin Annual which sees Bruce Wayne on a treasure hunt set by Damian Wayne is a must.

No fan of Tom King's time on Batman at all. An exception to that is Batman Annual #2.

Gregg Hurwitz’s run on Batman: The Dark Knight is underrated.

Gregg Hurwitz’s run on Batman: The Dark Knight is underrated.

The first chapters of this title by Paul Jenkins, David Finch and Joe Harris where not that good.
Too few then read Gregg Hurwitz’s run and too few have a good opinion of this title.
It's sad because it's one the best Batman run ever on any Bat-title.

By curiosity, what have you read and what do you recommand ?

Honestly, Snyder's run and Morrisons Batman Inc stuff. That's most of what I can remember.

A story I'd recommend is one single issue of Batman '66: the last one, issue 30.

Thank you for the list.

Since you remember Batman Inc. and you remember what happens to Robin you should continue with Batman & Robin new52.

Saw someone made a thread like this over on the Spider-Man section, thought why not have one for Batman too? Favorite stories of this decade. Batfamily counts, so Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood, other titles are up to be listed.

For me, in no particular order (and sorry if I don't manage a full ten):
1. Batman: The White Knight - Interesting elseworld, well done.
2. Batman Earth One - I'm a bit in the minority, but I liked seeing such a grounded Batman having to struggle and fail until ultimately saving the day.
3. Batman: Zero Year - One of the gems of the New52, this is just a really, really great origin story. Fan blasphemy, but I prefer it over Year One.
4. Batgirl of Burnside - Only read the first volume/trade/whatever, but it was hella fun even if the story didn't feel impactful.
5. Batman: Court of Owls - Such a good villain group idea that really meshes in well with the tone of Batman.
6. The War of Jokes and Riddles - Definitely not a classic, but a pretty good year two story regardless and holy crap it made me care about Kite Man! Freaking Kite Man!

Okay, so not quite ten, but for a newbie who only really started reading comic books this decade not bad. What's your list?
