HEY LOVELY PEOPLE OF CNC

I'm putting together an Amazon order and since the lovely backpack I'm getting automatically qualifies for free shipping, I'm lumping some comics books in with it for extra awesome. I'm definitely getting the first book of XIII, but since I'm trying to build a Bat Collection, I was wondering...

WHAT BATBOOKS WOULD YOU GUYS RECOMMEND? I'm looking primarily at ones that deal with the Joker and how he functions with Batman, so The Killing Joke and Arkham Asylum are ones I'm thinking about. But if there's "better" ones that are a better starting point for comics!Bruce please, please let me know?

PS: RUNAWAYS MOVIE. WTF IS THIS. DISCUSS?

Swamp Thing.

Get softcover. The hardcover quality is garbage. :(

And yeah. I am ignoring your Batman comment.

I think those are good books, though you should buy this (http://www.amazon.com/DC-Universe-Stories-Alan-Moore/dp/1401209270/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1279505562&sr=1-1) instead of the Killing Joke tpb since it has Killing Joke as well as all of Alan Moore's other DC stories which are worth reading and a much better value than a book that is just a 60-page short story.

Also you should probably get The Dark Knight Returns (http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Knight-Returns-Frank-Miller/dp/1563893428/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1279505803&sr=1-1) and Batman: Year One (http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Year-One-Frank-Miller/dp/1401207529/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1279505831&sr=1-1) if you want to go ahead and complete the canon of must-read Batman stories.

THE LONG HALLOWEEN, THE LONG HALLOWEEN, THE LONG HALLOWEEN. It...really doesn't deal with Joker that much but I really really like it.

And pfffft the Runaways movie has been in development hell since the dawn of time. If they actually get someone cast, I will be very shocked. That being said, I personally would love for the kids to be a cast of unknowns while the adults being actors that people would recognize.

I AM SO AFRAID OF THE RUNAWAYS MOVIE. PLEASE DON'T FAIL, CASTING DIRECTOR.
