After looking at this, I wish I had not bothered data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Just arrived, damn its heavy! Stick your hands in the air if you are sad enough to spend two hours going through a list to cross reference against chronological order versus graphic novels owned?

Just ordered:
Legion Of Super-Heroes: The Curse
Spider-Man: Nothing Can Stop The Juggernaut MPC
Marvel Masterworks Iron Fist Vol 2
Pre-ordered the Iron Man Omnibus (Michelinie, Layton & Romita Jr) for £48 from Amazon....Bargain In regards to what you did with the Chronological order there I thought..."hmmm wonder what The Trade Reading Guide will offer in the way of a list of Batman books??"
So this morning I had a peek & what they found was 404 books!!! data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
The Trade Paperback Reading Order
It's spread over 9 pages & includes books from other DC characters that fit into the correct Batman timeline including titles from Catwoman / Superman / JLA etc.
So it's going to be a LONG & very expensive hobby if you fancy doing it properly data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Neil Lol, the link is classed as 'weapons' at work here data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I heavily consolidated my list from the links above, removing collected reprints from Robin or other non core Batman titles. I doubt I will even get the entire list I posted, and I thought I already had Dark Victory, RIP (Sure I bought the hardback from FP?) and one or two of the others. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I also own most of the 26 part Batman and Robin comics as I did start to collect them as there were only 26 - I think I only need 1 and 17so I may pass on them, or simply not bother picking up the singles and sell on what I have to grab the trades.
Edit: Plus some of the trades are on *really* cheap paper. I think War games was one of the ones I was lookingat in FP recently, and it just makes the book feel cheap and then ruins the story. No that is not a very good explanation, but I know what I mean. Batman The World of the Dark Knight only £4 delivered @ HMV - Hot UK Deals I got that for chrimbo! data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
