Please post your own answer to this very common forum question below!

This most often comes up after people see the movies/TV shows, and want to get into comics. My suggestion would be, after watching The Dark Knight (imo the best movie in the Nolan trilogy) and maybe even Batman: The Animated Series from the 90s (extremely well regarded even today), to read The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller. It and Year One (also by Miller) are pretty much regarded as the best Batman comics ever, but I feel that Year One is more niche and for fans. DKR got me into Batman comics, for sure.

There's no enforcing this, but as much as this thread can be about YOUR individual answer and NOT nit-picking other people's opinions, the better.
