Batman Legacy Reading Order

[zep81]

I know there is a chance of DC releasing a new trade of this at some point considering they have released all of NML.

But I decided to collect the individual issues got it just in case they drag their feet. I've managed to I think collect the importance comics needed, just need a reading order if anyone can help;

Batman Bane of the Demon 1-4
Azrael 36-40
Catwoman 33-36
Detective Comics 697-699
Robin 31-33
Detective Comics 700-702
Shadow of the Bat 53/54
Batman 533/534
Batman: Bane One Shot (1997)

Thanks.

Edit; Actually, Azrael 36-40 leads into CATACLYSM doesn't it.

I don't have time to comment much on Legacy for now, too wrapped up in NML, but I wanted to say this: Az 36-39 or 40 with Az vs Bane is one of my fave Azrael arcs and a super underrated Bane story, Az 36-39 is going before Cataclysm in my NML bind...40 is already in Cataclysm trades.

Yeah I've never read the story but as soon as I saw it had a bane/azrael rematch I had to track it down. Would this be the order to read these to;

CONTAGION-LEGACY (Ending with the Bane 1997 One Shot)-AZRAEL 36-39-CATACLYSM

CONTAGION-LEGACY (Ending with the Bane 1997 One Shot)-AZRAEL 36-39-CATACLYSM

Yes, that's the general order.

Can't see it on Amazon myself, only the old trade, but hopefully it is coming out April and I hope it includes all the issues i have collected tbh.

I saw the page, it's there, it's coming. In fact, I might have caused the placement on Amazon (I sent out an inquisitive email like a week ago )

I'm definitely thinking this new trade will at least have more than the previous OOP print one.

Yeah with DC including nearly everything with these NML trades, I have hope they'll include more than the old trade.
