What are your 3 favorite Batman storylines of all time

[Scott Taylor]

Dark Knight Returns - Its got its flaws, but a classic nonetheless with some damned good story points. And it pulls of showing us a Batman who is pushed to the edge
No Man's Land - As others have said, this story is a monster achievement that works on all sorts of levels. It introduced some really great characters, too.
Batman and Robin (Morrison) - Kind of an atypical Batman story, honestly. Maybe it shouldn't count because its Dick.

In descending order:

• JLA: Tower of Babel (It's a story about the League, yes, but since it's Bruce centric, I'll include it here)
• The Long Halloween
• No Man's Land

Also please note that the favorites list is also subject to terms and conditions, and can change on a whim, depending on how the author feels at any given time.

[SiegePerilous02]

Strange Apparitions
No Man's Land (novel)
Mad Love

[TheBatman]

1. Grant Morrison's Batman Run
2. Strange Apparitions
3. Tales of the Demon

[Green Goblin of Sector 2814]

Mine are all also kind of cliché, but, I mean...they're all great. Also, its hard for me to limit it to just three, so I'm expanding it to 6 and they're in no particular order.

1. Batman: Year One (first Batman story I ever read. Has to make this list)
2. Long Halloween
3. Dark Victory
4. Endgame
5. Batman: Prey (probably the only atypical pick on my list. I just loved the Moench and Dixon stories about his early days)
6. Court of Owls

And, obviously, a shout out to Killing Joke.

Yo, why is No Mans Land (or even Knightfall for that matter) ever on those best of lists of most sites

.

[nepenthes]

Frank Miller Batman Saga
Grant Morrison Batman Saga
Peter Milligan run or JH William Batwoman (I can't one over the other right now)

[failo.legendkiller]

Knightfall/Knightsend
Prodigal
A lonely place of dying

[son of booyah]

Frank Miller Batman Saga
Grant Morrison Batman Saga
Peter Milligan run or JH William Batwoman (I can't one over the other right now)

What up nepenthes? I was worried you'd left the boards. Milligan is seconded, I think I forgot him on my list.

Killing Joke/Long Halloween/Black Mirror/TDKR

[zebracross]

3 only? gosh...

1 The Long Halloween
2 Hush and Heart of Hush
3 TDKR saga and Bruce Wayne:Murderer/Fugitive

[SicariiDC]

1 The Long Halloween

3 TDKR saga and Bruce Wayne:Murderer/Fugitive

I thought Murderer/Fugitive was great too. Original concept. The only thing I think holds it back is the real cartoony art. YMMV, but if it had something more subtle like Gotham central or even something abstract like Tim sale, it may have been regarded better.

[Lady Nightwing]

The Black Mirror, Morrisons run on Batman and Robin and Dark Victory. All very cliché

[Pohzee]

1.) Black Mirror
2.) Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on a Serious Earth
3.) Darwin Cooke's Ego and Déjà Vu

Honorable mentions to:
-Court of Owls
-Batman: The Gauntlet
-Storybook Endings

[Unfinishedsentenc]

1.) Black Mirror
2.) Mad Love
3.) Zero Year (mainly Savage City)

That'd change if episodes of the animated series were allowed (are they?)
