    #ComicBytes: Five of the best Batman comic books ever created
  • Batman has had an illustrious life. Revered by many as a messiah and feared by even the most heinous criminals, he has always done the right thing, no what matter the cost.

    Thousands of comics have captured his journey from being a scared little child to 'The Dark Knight of Gotham', but a few have been especially vital.

    Here are five such stories.

    'A Death in the Family': Despair and sadness galore 'The Killing Joke': Joker's probable origin 'Year One': A significant landmark for Batman and his origin 'The Dark Knight Returns': Another gem by Frank Miller The most iconic Batman vs Superman quote ever uttered 'Hush': One of the most interesting Batman stories ever told
  • Story #5

    'A Death in the Family': Despair and sadness galore

    'A Death in the Family': Despair and sadness galore
  • Dick Grayson was the perfect Robin but he quit being a mere sidekick to explore more options.

    Batman took in the street-smart Jason Todd but unfortunately, his birth mother betrayed him and sold him out to Joker who killed him by beating him up with a crowbar.

    His death changed Batman's personality and he became reclusive.

    Jason later reappeared as the anti-hero Red Hood.

  • Story #4

    'The Killing Joke': Joker's probable origin

    'The Killing Joke': Joker's probable origin
  • This one is more of a Joker story than a Batman one.

    Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's The Killing Joke explores Joker's probable origin and features him tormenting Jim Gordon and graphically paralyzing Barbara Gordon/Batgirl.

    It has a movie adaptation as well but I'd recommend reading the comic book.

    Interestingly, several fan theories suggest that Batman kills Joker in this one.

  • Story #3

    'Year One': A significant landmark for Batman and his origin

    'Year One': A significant landmark for Batman and his origin
  • Batman's origin has been explored a number of times in various media but Frank Miller's Year One does it better than anything else.

    The 1987 comic book is dark, meaningful, and is considered a timeless classic.

    It explores the dynamics between Bruce Wayne and James Gordon and boasts of some groundbreaking artwork in a story that features Gordon (not Batman) as the main protagonist.

  • Story #2

    'The Dark Knight Returns': Another gem by Frank Miller

    'The Dark Knight Returns': Another gem by Frank Miller
  • The Dark Knight Returns is arguably the darkest Batman story ever told.

    It features a retired Batman in a future crime-infested Gotham. Batman is forced to return to the streets with a new Robin, Carrie Kelley, to fight a street-gang called 'Mutants'.

    The story culminates with a mind-boggling confrontation between Batman and Superman.

    A (surprisingly faithful) animated adaptation of the story released in 2013.

  • Quote

    The most iconic Batman vs Superman quote ever uttered

  • "I want you to remember, Clark. In all the years to come, in your most private moments, I want you to remember, my hand, at your throat, I want you to remember, the one man who beat you." -Batman in The Dark Knight Returns.

    'Hush': One of the most interesting Batman stories ever told

  • Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee's 12-issue comic series gets more engaging with every page.

    Batman: Hush features almost all the iconic Batman villains and even has a great Batman vs Superman fight.

    From exploring Batman's romantic relationship with Catwoman to introducing a villain as clever as Bruce Wayne, it does everything just right.

    An animated adaptation of the story will release this year.
