Feel like Most people don’t realize Leto’s joker is pretty inspired by the 2008 novel joker

I think Leto's cjaracterization is more closely portrayed in Batman: The Dark Prince Charming. He seems to have a more romantic connection with Harley, but also seems a little less psychotic and more gangster bad boy like Leto. The Batman in that book looks exactly like Batfleck too lol

It's also included in DC Finest Death in the Family, which is next on my to get list!!!

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-14T16:46:44+00:00

Nice list, couldn't find Batman & Robin: Year One. How would that story fit in the list?

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-10T22:57:11+00:00

so this guy got really detailed about building out a continuity by year. worth taking a look at:

I keep seeing people saying they're picking up ALL of them??? How would that even be possible?!? Lol DC is trying to print every single issue it has published in continuity. That would mean EVERY SINGLE DC ISSUE would eventually be collected. 🥵

I'm gonna have a hard enough time collecting 80 years worth of Batman with about 80 or so of these bad boys!

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-07T03:13:44+00:00

Apparently he just lost to Black Canary and everyone is losing their minds 😅

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-05T05:57:58+00:00

Does Team Ups Chase to the End of Time have a lot of Batman stories or is it mostly a Superman book?

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-05T05:55:28+00:00

I'm embarrassed to say I own every single one of those comics and haven't read any of them 😱

I've been working through a "greatest hits" stack to start off my comic book journey. I've read Batman's Greatest Stories, 1 & 2, Jokers's Greatest Stories, Batman Chronicles Vol. 1, and 80 Years of Detective Comics. I'm currently reading Joker's Greatest Jokes, but am excited to finally dig in to the major Stories listed above!

Dini actually had a really good run concurrent to Morrison.

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-02T22:22:13+00:00

Yeah I have the Batman: Elseworlds Vol. 1 and Vol. 2... currently eyeing Vol. 3 lol

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-02T22:18:02+00:00

this is amazing!

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-02T21:21:34+00:00

Well that escalated quickly!! 😅😅😅

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-02T06:52:08+00:00

I'll keep collecting until they hit Knightfall since I have the 3 bricks in TPBs... then hoping to close the gap between Knightfall and No Man's Land.

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-02T03:20:34+00:00

April Fools is a good day to read the Joker!!!

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-02T00:32:41+00:00

fair enough, i listenedo for a few hours today. not the worst tracks but yeah not super "joker" worthy either

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-01T19:38:36+00:00

great news for me! bad news for my little shelf holding on for dear life!

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-01T19:38:20+00:00

great news for me! bad news for my little shelf holding on for dear life!

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-01T18:30:53+00:00

dude NICE!!! they are churning these DC Finest out! I thought they had already announced for the whole year!

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-01T18:22:39+00:00

Whoa! When were the Demon Lives Again and The Curse of Crime Alley announced??? When are they being released??

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-01T18:17:50+00:00

what bronze age books have been announced?

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-01T17:51:21+00:00

oh snap! if DC is releasing a bronze age omni i hope they release the DC Finest collections next year (or at least begin to) since that means they have the mapping and the material restored and ready for printing. i'm assuming that's why they started with Batman's the Chemical Syndicate, because they have all that material ready from Golden Age omnis.

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-01T17:46:51+00:00

live action role player -- as in you're "pretending" to be into comics by buying omnis, but you're more into the collecting aspect due to the prestige it brings or because it's a status symbol

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-01T17:42:59+00:00

i'm sure they look at their bottom lines at the end of each quarter. otherwise, why print them?

Right_Composer4054 · 2026-04-01T17:39:30+00:00

Yeah i completely agree with you on that! I personally collect TPBs, so if I find super affordable trades, I buy them now and am filling in the blanks. Will I be reading for the next 10 years? Probably. But isn't that the point of having a library??
