What is the correct reading order for Snyder Batman?
I have it as:
New52 run
All Star
Metal event
Justice League
Batman Who Laughs mini
Williamson's BWL arc of Batman/Superman
Death Metal
Are certain arcs meant to be read inbetween other arcs (like Williamson's arc is meant to be sometime during Snyder's JL)?
Thanks.
Batman: The Black Mirror and Batman: Gates of Gotham before The New 52. Batman: The Black Mirror is by far Scott Snyder's best Batman story. It's one of the best Batman books ever.
Halfway through the New 52, you need to read Twenty-Seven which was in a special Detective Comics issue marking 75 Years of Batman.
Hope this helps!

Michael Keaton back as Bruce Wayne/Barman for the first time in 31 years!
The different Batsuits.
Batman 66, Batman 89, Batman Returns and Batman: The Animated Series are the biggest reasons as to why I'm a Batman fan.
For the upcoming Batman & Robin movie under the Gunn umbrella I propose Alan Ritchson as Batman. Not that I m a fan of Reacher but he s essentially Sherlock Holmes brain in Conan the Cimmerian s body. A description for many versions of Bruce/Batman and especially Morrison s Batman
Pre New 52 Reboot:
Batman Black Mirror
Batman Gates of Gotham
New 52 Reboot
(Chronologically: Origin - New 52 Vol. 4-5)
New 52 Vol. 1-3
(Event Backstory: Batman Incorporated Vol. 1-2 by Grant Morrison + Forever Evil by Geoff Johns)
Batman Eternal + New 52 Vol. 6
(Extra Backstory: Batman and Robin: Robin Rises)
New 52 Vol. 7-final
Rebirth Era - Road to reboot but still in New 52 continuity
(Interlude Backstory: DC Universe Rebirth #1 + Batman Rebirth #1 by Tom King)
All-Star Batman (all volume)
Dark Days: Road to Metal
Dark Nights Metal + Dark Knights Rises
DC Universe Era - Superman half rebooted the continuity then Dr. Manhattan rebooted the other half, but Batman Who Laugh's attack on time itself left the chronology and continuity a jumbled mess
No Justice
Justice League Vol. 1-4
Batman Who Laughs
(Context Backstory: Batman/Superman Vol. 1-2 by Joshua Williamson
Year of The Villain: The Infected
Year of The Villain: Hell Arisen)
Justice League Vol. 5
Dark Nights Death Metal + The Darkest Knights + War of The Multiverses + The Multiverse Who Laughs
(This whole thing would've been much easier to explain with a flowchart)
(Batman Who Laughs post Dark Nights Metal = Justice League Vol. 1-2 > Batman Who Laughs > Batman/Superman Vol. 1-2 > The Infected > Hell Arisen > Justice League Vol. 5 > Death Metal)
(Optional Dr. Manhattan and Wally West story path = DC Universe Rebirth #1 > Titans Rebirth Vol. 1 > The Button > Flash War > Heroes in Crisis > Doomsday Clock (continuity mess) > Flash Forward > Death Metal)
Batman The Last Knight on Earth is out of main continuity set in the far future
