I voted 'other' - and my pick is the first Man-Bat story, where the bad guys have all sorts of gadegetry that allows them to see in the dark, etc. Cool story, great art (Neal Adams), and I love it.

I've thought of several good candidates for write-in, but I have to be honest, I would not be reading comics today if not for Dark Knight Returns, so I'm going with that.

The Englehart/Rogers/Austin run, specifically the "Joker Fish" story.

Coincidentally, that was the top story in my "several good candidates for write-in". :)

All good choices, but I'm going with "other" - Son of the Demon by Barr/Bingham.

Shadow of the Batman is the best way to define the series. It's the Steve Englehart Detective run that he did (first with Walt Simonson, then with Marshall Rogers).

He had a great cast, including Silver St. Cloud, Hugo Strange, Rupert Thorne, the Joker...

Year One. As far as I'm concerned, it's the perfect Batman story.

I love Year One, but feel it should be titled "Jim Gordon: Year One".

What Fraxon said. "Laughing Fish" is a great, great story.
