EBAY! Ebay a great place to find affordable back issues, you can even buy full runs. I bought all 200+ Flash issues a few years back for 190.

oh and check out the Batman TPB thread for some solid recommendations.

The OYL jump this month is the best time IMO to start your Batman collection. I know that's what a lot of people have been waiting for.

OYL is one year later, this month all of the ongoing DC titles are jumping forward one year. All the story arcs were settled last month so it's a great jumping on point for new readers.

By big books I guess you're talking about trade paperbacks (TPBs - also known as graphic novels). These are mostly what you'll find on Amazon. Batman Year One is one of these.

The One Year Later books won't be out in TPB til later in the year at the earliest

Check the thread at the top of the Batman board. That will give you a few recommendations.
