Tupiaz: When in Rome takes place between the last bit of The Long Halloween and the first 1/2-2/3 of Dark Victory.
What is the optimal first time reading order for Long Halloween 1-13, When in Rome 1-6 and Dark Victory 1-13?

My mistake she leaves in the first issue of Dark Victory and reappears in the end of issue 12. The beginning of TLH and the end of DV tend to overlap. I would read one of the stories first and then go to the other without reading between issues. To avoid any possible spoilers I would read Dark Victory first. My memory is fussy here but Catwoman's motives for her travel and her connection to the Falcone family isn't revealed before the end of DV. Her motives are clear in the beginning of When in Rome. When in Rome was also released after DV.
hmm...seems like I should reread the stories.
@Tupiaz
So trying to be strictly chronological, would this be the an acceptable order?
Batman Year One 1987 (complete TBP)
Batman The Long Halloween 1996 (complete TBP)
Batman Dark Victory 1999 issues #1 to #11
Catwoman When in Rome 2004 (complete TBP)
Batman Dark Victory 1999 issues #12 to #13
I guess you could sandwich When in Rome between any two Dark Victory issues from #2 to #12, e.g. 11/12 or 1/2 or 6/7 etc.
Thanks for the help - reading Batman comics in a sensible order is very challenging.
