    Default What Marvel comics should a Batman fan read?

    I am getting into comics and I have always been a Batman fan, but DC does not have a subscription-service in Denmark. I’m not in a situation where it is financially justifiable to buy individual issues or trades, so I’m going with Marvel Unlimited. Not crying about it because Marvel probably has a larger number of characters that I like, though Batman is my absolute favourite.

    So if you like the dark knight from hellish Gotham, what Marvel comics should you go for? Daredevil?

    Daredevil would make the most sense. Street level and darker hero depending on the writer.

    Frank Miller's run is fantastic.
    Brian Michael Bendis run is fantastic.
    Ed Brubaker probably had my favorite run but you need to read the Bendis run prior as it sets up a lot.
    Mark Waid had a very fun run and it is much lighter in tone than the ones above.

    I enjoyed Ann Nocenti's run overall but there is some hit and miss issues in there.

    DC: The Flash (Jay & Wally), Starman- Jack Knight, Stargirl, & Shazam!.

    As sayd before Daredevil is a great pick. I would really recommand Frank Miller's run and his 2 other stories, Born Again and The Man Without Fear. Then What recommended @Jekyll is also great. I would just add Charles Soule's run.

    I also being a fan of Batman, I also enjoy the darker Spider-Man stories such as Death of the Staceys and Kraven's Last Hunt.

    As gread stories I would also suggest Hulk: The End / Future imperfect and Wolverin: Old Man Logan (not the spin-off serie but the story in the main title).

    You can also read what the duo Jeph Loeb / Tim Sale has done on Marvel's side, Spider-Man: Blue, Hulk: Gray, Daredevil: Yellow and Captain America: White.

    And one last hero I like a bit is Captain America, and I would suggest, Captain America: Man Out of Time and Winter Soldier By Brubaker: The Complete Collection0

    Have fun

    Daredevil is the most obvious answer. I always found Batman a combination of sorts of DD and Iron Man.

    If you like espionage type stories, Ed Brubaker's Captain America is fantastic.

    Aside from the surface trappings, Moon Knight and Batman are nothing alike.

    Daredevil is the better recommendation. I say this as a lifelong MK fan.
    Batman - Daredevil

    David F. Walker & Ramon Villalobos’ Nighthawk.

    Soule, Bendis, and Miller’s Daredevil runs.

    If you’re liking the trippiness and psychological aspects of Tom King’s current run, I also recommend Jeff Lemire’s run on Moon Knight.
