Any new Batman series out?

[SnakeWesker]

Basically, what I am looking for is a Batman series like the Ultimate universe in Marvel. I need a series that is (at the most) only a few years old, so that I can start collecting the trades. I know there is All-Star Batman and Robin, but I was wondering if there was one that was only Batman, without Robin.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Nothing that I know of. There's a Batman Confidential starting this month, but that's all that I can think of. There is no 'Ultimate-Batman' title.

[Harding Prime]

Yea, Batman Confidential would be a good start. Most of Batman's running series are within continuity, just not always in the same timeline.

Wait, have any of the writers said anything about a potential All-Star Batman and All-Star Superman crossover? Because I am going to get into All-Star Superman soon, and if All-Star Batman and Robin is going to crossover with it, I may as well just read ASBR too.

[Harding Prime]

That's not going to happen. ASBR has become kinda a lost cause since only 4 have come out in 2 years. And the fact that the story, (so far) isn't anything very good but Batman satire by Frank Miller, it probably won't go past that. And Frank Miller and Grant Morrison working together, LOL.

Imagine Miller's Superman. Damn will be Superman only word of dialogue, Lois will be a slutty reporter, Perry White will have major anger management problems, Jimmy will have crime connections.

Alright, sounds good. Thanks for your help, everyone.

If Miller got a hold of Superman, every Human on earth would die, because he's the Good Damn Superman, Bitch!

Try Matt Wagner's Bat-Books, Trade one is out now, Batman and the Monster Men, and Dark Moon Rising: Batman and the Mad Monk is well along.;)

Wait, what?

:p I think he was thanking the prior posters for helping him out.

Also, with the kind of soft re-boot after the Infinite Crisis, you could check out the One Year Later storyline which is in TPB called Face the Face. A good classic detective story about the re-origin of Two-Face. It's a good time to get into the continuity of the big DC characters.

Just so you know, neither Batman nor Detective run like the Ultimate books where you're reading one big long story. Instead there is a new team like every 6-8 issues so it's like having a reboot every several months

[brundlefly]

Ditto on Face The Face and the Wagner Batman books; both would be good jump-on points for a new reader who didn't want to be lost by coming into a story midway-through. I assume Batman Confidential will be the same way, given that it's a new title and all.

They are still suppose to run broadly in same storyline of continuity. That is kind of a cynical way of looking at it.
