- It was exactly one year ago I started reporting from Arkham Asylum.. Lets celebrate by ranking my 20 favorite Bat-Comics! Let me know yours in the comments! And thank you for watching!
Batman was created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane. All related characters are properties of DC Comics. - Zábava
Wow this video was a tough b*tch to make.. Took a very long time and a lot of hard work.. I’m glad I got it finished on time! Also, my voice was a bit weak when I recorded so I may sound even weirder and creepier than usual, as if that was possible! Anyway, thanks for watching and helping to make this little corner of ours of CZcams so awesome!
Gotham Rogues Hey Rogues! I just want to say I'm a huge fan of your videos. Your one of my favorite youtubers and I hope one day you have millions of subscribers! If you ever want an idea for a video you should review the Batman villain Dr. Hurt. Okay keep up the great work! 👍👍👍
Gotham Rogues
Thank you for being a fan! Yeah I might do Dr Hurt as a Forgotten Villain. He is pretty obscure after all.
Gotham Rogues happy 1 year of the best channel
Gotham Rogues I have a cool 2 tas episode you can review since I watched all of volume 2 you can review paging the crime doctor and mudslide
Some of my favorite Batman comics (in no particular order):
1. Knightfall
2. No Man's Land
3. The Cult
4. Ten Nights of the Beast
5. The Ratcatcher
6. Detective Comics #27
7. Year One
8. Going Sane
9. Fear for Sale
10. A Death in the Family.
Awesome list! Fear for Sale and the Cult were two others that I seriously considered for my list.
comixntoonz.blogspot.com/2019/05/80-years-of-batman.html
20. Prey
19. The Joker's 5 way revenge
18. The man who laughs
17. Zero year
16. Dark Knight returns (It's so low on my list because although I love the story, I hate the art)
15. Ressurection of Ra's Al Ghul
14. Birth of The Demon
13. Black mirror/Skeleton cases
12. I am Suicide/I am Bane (it's fresh in my mind and I really enjoyed it)
11. Under the hood
10. Arkham Asylum: A serious house on serious Earth
9. Court of Owls
8. Knightfall
7. No man's land
6. Tower of Babel (I think this counts, as it was kind of a Batman story)
5. Hush
4. Batman R.I.P.
3. Killing Joke
2. Death of the family
1. Endgame
But like you said at the end, I might change my mind tomorrow. Too many great stories and I had a tough time narrowing my favourites down.
Cool to see Prey and Birth of the Demon on your list! And it's funny I also hate the art of TDKR but like the story.
Thanks. I really feel Prey is an underrated classic.
comixntoonz.blogspot.com/2019/05/80-years-of-batman.html
The Ratcatcher would've fit perfectly in the show "Gotham". He could've built up Killer Croc too if Gotham has the rights.
A list like this is so refreshing compared to the usual ones consisting of hush, long halloween, tdkr, court of owls etc
I'm glad to see at least one list like this that isn't completely made up of predictable choices. Even if some of these issues wouldn't necessarily break my personal Top 20, I'm still supportive of any list that encourages people to check out good solo issues or two-parters from each era of Batman's 80-year run instead of just handing them _DKR_ and _Court of Owls_ and calling it a day.

Coffee Films me too
Recommended reading
10. The first appearance of Joker
Batman #1 1940
9. Batman # 296 ( A great Scarecrow story)
8. DC Superhero Spectacular #1
Batman Versus Kobra. Beautifully drawn by Jim Aparo.
7.The Demon of Gothos Manor
Beautiful and Haunting art by Irv. Norvick.
6.The original Man Bat Trilogy
Neal Adams at his finest!
5.Brave and the Bold # 93 A classic Batman and House of Mystery Story! Beautiful Neal Adams art!
4. Batman Night of the Reaper
Brilliant writing by Denny O'Neill and brilliant art by Neal Adams.
3.The untold story of Batman.
A great three part miniseries with incredible Jim Aparo art.
2.The original Ra's Al Ghul saga. Incredible art by Neal Adams. His illustrations of Talia were stunning!
1. The Secret of The Waiting Graves. An incredible gothic horror story. Neal Adams version of the Batman reincarnated The Dark Knight from a figure of parody to an avenging figure of the night.
Man. I need to go to work in 5 minutes...... Nahhh Gotham Rogues is more important. 😁
Haha ;)
I also really like bat mite glad to meet another fan
My all time favorite is 'Venom' by Denny O'Neill. It doesn't feature any costumed rogues, just a twisted pharmacist and a General. It's a great Batman-centric story dealing with his drug addiction and realizing his human limitations. My favorite aspect of it is how Batman cares more about the pharmacist's daughter and the General's son than their parents do.
What else do you recommend besides the most famous ones
Venom is indeed one of the best if not the best Batman story I've ever read.
just saying I'm only doing 10 because I'm REALLY tired.
10-The long Halloween (bit of a cliche to put this here, but I just love the concept of a villain in the rogues gallery representing a month or holiday, ivy was March with st Patrick's day, joker was Christmas, Scarecrow for Halloween, etc, plus being an artist myself, I won a certificate from my high school for my profile of poison ivy influences by the art in this book)
9-Batman R.I.P. (By one of my favourite authors and an inspiration to me grant Morrison ((I'm also from glasgow)) not the best art but Morrison writes with perfect understanding of batman and his world)
8-Death of the family (a brilliantly written batman and joker story with fantastic artwork)
7-Going sane (I agree with you rogues, this is a bit of a masterpiece. An incredibly intriguing story which poses questions ive asked myself sometimes about the two's relationship)
6-*going to cheat a little and put a whole selection of stories* Batman black and white stories. (okay not all of these are great, some of them are pretty bad in fact, but the few ones I read over and over again are:
-Two of a kind by Bruce timm
-A black and white world by Neil gaiman
-Case study by Paul dini
and
-perpetual mourning by Ted mckneever
all fantastic stories and alot of other short stories you should check out)
5-Eye of the beholder (perfect two face story in my opinion)
4-Mad love (another cliche but the writing of Paul dini and art by my drawing idol Bruce timm reminds me of my childhood)
3-Endgame (also more of a batman and joker together story but the way this is written with some tongue in cheek dialogue and an origin story for mister J which I can accept, it's a personal fav and the way I think the batman should end)
2-The killing joke (possibly number one but it's more of a joker AND batman story, but Alan Moore being my favourite author of all time, I had to include this)
1-Whatever happened to the caped crusader? (pure masterpiece)
Cool list! Nice to see someone else include Eye of The Beholder as well ;)
Batman #400 is what got me into comics. It's such a great issue and prominently features most of his villains at the time.
I'm loving these videos! Keep it up.
I like that you started branching off into other heroes' rogues as well.
I'd also like to see something about Morrison's R.I.P. run.
Solid list....I'd throw in Batman 253 myself, where he and The Shadow teamed up in a one shot. I really like the channel, I regret it took me this long to find it!
Or maybe a Top 10 Batman Designs. I know that you mainly do Villains and not Heroes but I think it would an interesting Change Of Pace.
My number one favorite Batman story is Batman issue 40 aka "Fatal Wish". In it, Batman tries to stop a sniper from killing anymore people than he has, but when the killer wishes that everyone was dead, it triggers a painful memory from Batman's past and causes Bruce to lose focus. As a result, the sniper dies by a policeman's bullet It really shows how unable Batman is to elt go of the past and is a reminder that if you can't let go of the past, then you cannot solve the problems of the present. And also, the cover is awesome.
"Eye of the Beholder" is my favorite post-Crisis reimagining of anything, mainly because it established Harvey Dent as having mental problems before he was disfigured.
My top 10 (at the moment):
1. The Laughing Fish/Sign of the Joker
2. Case of the Honest Thief
3. Messiah of the Midnight Sun
4. Batman Year One
5. Tomb of the White Bat
6. The Batman Nobody Knows
7. Daughter of the Demon
8. Boxing
9. Deathmask
10.The Gorilla Crime Boss of Gotham City
Great list! Some really obscure picks there
Love your Channel! It's a great history of the comics. I remember reading or having them when I was a kid. So THANKS for the Channel 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Knightfall, Killing Joke, Dark Knight Dark City, A Gotham Tale, Laughing Fish. Just off the top of my head.
comixntoonz.blogspot.com/2019/05/80-years-of-batman.html
Finally a list that includes my all time favourite Batman stories “Blind Justice!”! So underrated, such fantastic story! Great list!
Oh boy... this was tough.
1. The Killing Joke
2. Knightfall (including Knightquest and Knightend)
3. Year One
4. The Long Halloween
5. Arkham Asylum
6. The Dark Knight Returns
7. Endgame
8. The Man Who Laughs
9. Earth One
10. Detective Comics 27-37
11. Dark Victory
12. Zero Year
13. Gotham By Gaslight
14. Vampire Trilogy (Batman vs Dracula, Bloodstorm, Red Rain)
Ones I still need to figure out the ranking of are Gothic, The Laughing Fish, Prey, Death of the Family, Ego, Dark Knight Dark City, and so many others.
P.S., since you said you wish Bolland drew more Batman comics, he wrote and drew a story for Batman Black and White which has since been included in new versions of the Killing Joke, now with colour!
As others have said, I'm glad that you don't just go with the most popular choices and actually have some more obscure stories. As great as the most celebrated Batman stories are, there are far too many great ones that people tend to overlook and aren't even aware of. Anyway, after reading as much Batman as possible from various eras, my top 20 would have to be:
20.) Ten Nights of the Beast (1987)
19.) New Gotham (2000)
18.) Heart of Hush (2009)
17.) A Lonely Place of Dying (1989)
16.) Endgame (2015)
15.) The Man Who Laughs (2005)
14.) Prey (1991)
13.) Birth of the Demon (1992)
12.) Eye of the Beholder (1990)
11.) The Court of Owls (2011)
10.) Night of the Stalker (1974)
09.) A Death in the Family (1988)
08.) Year One (1987)/Zero Year (2014)*
07.) Son of the Demon (1987)
06.) Death of the Family (2013)
05.) No Man's Land (1999)
04.) Knightfall (1993-94)
03.) The Killing Joke (1988)
02.) The Dark Knight Returns (1986)
01.) The Long Halloween/Dark Victory (1997-2000)**
*I couldn't decide which origin I liked more, so I put them both together.
**Both go together perfectly as one big story.
Three great Batman stories from The Brave And The Bold: #79 Track of the Hook! Batman meets Deadman and joins the quest for his killer. ( The Deadman series introduced the League of Assassin's, which would lead to the introduction of Ra's Al Ghul!)
#108. The Night Batman Sold His Soul. Is the mysterious man Batman and Sgt. Rock hunting for Hitler as Rock claims , or Satan as he claims to be to Batman?
#195. Night of Blood . Batman teams up with Andrew Bennett of the House of Mystery's I, Vampire series!
For me
5. Year One
4. Requiem of a Killer
3. Challenge of Calendar Man
2. Going Sane
1. The Long Halloween

Interesting list. Batman: Gothic will always remain my favorite Batman story.
Congratulations Man !
I don't know how I missed this video when it came out, because I'm pretty sure I've been subscribed since then. This was a great list and I'm so glad you're still going strong. Thanks for three years of great videos.
I'm proud for this channel. I've taken a break to say Happy 1 year anniversary, Rogues. I got excited when I saw this in my notifications and I plan on watching it tonight. Will give my feedback then. Thanks for all of your hard work and entertainment.
Thank you Mister, hope you like it! And looking forward to your list ;)
I just teared up watching this video ;_; ! It's my boys first birthday!!!! But in all seriousness, what a milestone hey. From 0 subs and views on the very first day you started to where you are now! Your subs/fans could not be proud of you. 1 year is a mere pitstop in your journey to success on CZcams and I hope to see you continuously posting your amazing content. I hope that I can be here from the (near) beginning till whenever you reach 100k, then one 1 mil and so on. Congratulations brother and a remarkable choice of stories too if I do say so myself!!! Waiting on that face reveal ;)
Thank you very much my old ninja friend!!
I did a face reveal long ago actually, the video is called Rogue Thoughts.. ;)
OOH i really have missed a lot XD!!! brb gonna go take a peak at this sexy guy
my 5 are:
1.war on crime
2.strange apporitions
3.knightfall
4.devil's advocate
5.alan grant and norm breyfogle's run on detective comics/batman/shadow of the bat
-Grant Morrison's run
-Tom King's run (yes, I said it. What you gonna do?)
-No Man's Land
-TDKR (I mean, it's TDKR)
-Most of the Legends of the Dark Knight run (it has some duds...but the majority of that run is surprisingly solid all the way around)
-Strange Apparitions (this was the first crop of old school comics, along with Lee's Spidey, that got me to appreciate older comics)
-The OG Batman and the Outsiders run by Mike Barr
-The second run Doug Moench had on the character with art by Kelly Jones (most fans consider this minor Batman... it just WORKS for me)
-The various "Adventures" titles that spun off BTAS
- The Batman Black and White series
-The OG Finger/Kane stuff from the 40s. I struggle with Golden Age stuff generally...but those first few years of Batman still hold up. They're simple, straight forward, and surprisingly grim little superhero/crime comics.
- Peter J. Tomasi's Batman and Robin
-The Long Halloween
-Year One
-Scott Snyder's run
-Grant/Breyfogle run
Great channel, I love your reviews. Especially the Riddler stories

Thanks, and glad you liked it!
I ain’t gonna make a whole list because I’m about to go to bed, but Detective Comics #574: My Beginning and My Probable End is a fantastic issue ANY Batman fan should read, like seriously, my best advice I could give anyone is read that story, and then immediately read Batman Year One, they kinda go hand and hand, and then go read Zero Year if they want to.
I'm a huge fan of the channel keep up the good work
Thanks!
Love the channel. I'll give my list of top Batman stories tomorrow as it might take a while to make.

You're one of the greatest Superhero guys on youtube IMO. Hoping for many more years of your vids man! Can't wait to see what you come up with next. Glad to see you like Red Rain, it's one of my favorite Batman comics as well. Would you ever consider doing a video discussing your thoughts on Batman Beyond?
Thank you very much! Sure I'll most likely get to Beyond eventually.
Hey dude really good video! Batman is my favourite super hero, so you have earned my subscription :)
Hey Gotham Rogues to fully complete the trio of 70s comics well one of them is from the early 80s but here we go since you've done Killer Croc,Man-Bat, The last one should be Swamp Thing I mean suprisingly he was extremely popular in the 70's hell he even got his own movie I would love for you to review him I've been a fan of him since I was a kid growing up in Louisiana and he's even got a race car based on him really cool stuff, Have a good day!
I don't know how I would go about ranking them, but up there I would have to put Batman and Robin Reborn, Batman Rip, Batman the Black Mirror, Court of Owls, The Cult, Long Halloween and Arkham Asylum, a Serious House on Serious Earth, (not in any particular order). Anything written by Grant Morrison or Scott Snyder I usually end up enjoying anyways. Great Video. Keep up the awesome work.
Here is an idea for Underrated Rouges: The K.G.Beast!
Batman love bird
No man's land
Ticket to tragedy
Detective comics 66 62
Only Angels have wings
Going sane
The coming of clayface 3
What's Detective Comics 66 62?
I remember a TAS story similar to that Penguin Episode.
My top 20 would be:
- No mans land
- Cataclysm
- Knight quest
- sword of Azrael
- Birth of the Demon
- Knights End
- Contagium
- venom
- Batman & son

- The Black Glove

It was a great list I enjoyed watching it very much. I was so happy to see Dark Knight, Dark City mentioned. I knew that Eye of the Beholder was going to be on here lol I have it in a Batman Forever promo collection of some of the best Riddler and Two-Face stories. It was my favorite story In the whole book.
Geez. like you said, making a list of best Batman stories is a BITCH. I would have to go through my collection to rank the ones that I have as a top 10. But Idk if I could rate them based on all of the bat stories I've ever read. I think maybe I'll try, if I get time, to just list the top 10 of my collection maybe not even in any particular order, but just to get dialogue going on about the topic.
Thanks glad you liked it! Yeah it is really tough.. I almost opted to not do the video and do something else instead..
The Joker's Five-Way Revenge from Batman 251. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated by Neal Adams.
I love Knightfall and No Mans Land. Long Halloween and Hush also.
New here! Love the 20. I just started getting into comics and kve been considering the batman golden age omnis. Wanted to see if maybe that would be a good start, i know its his first stories so maybe it should be a great place to start but maybe not.
i loved the art of bullet for bullock dont know why

9:07 The bit when Joker kidnaps babies and is planning to kill them really disturbs me. It's one of the sickest, most evil things he's ever done. And even Joker knows he's gone too far because he frowns after killing Sarah Gordon instead of smiling or laughing as he usually would.
1st view and like!
People have mixed opinions of the animated Brave and Bold series, but, making Bat-Mite an entitled fanboy was a natural evolution of the character.

Thanks and if you'd like to see Batman reviews and top 10's make sure to check out my channel and share it with your friends. I'd really appreciate it
I really don't know what my Top 20 would be...and RIGHT NOW, I'm a little too lazy to try and make it. You have a lot of great choices, a few of which I haven't really read. Mine would be very different, however, I'm certain. Here's a quick list of some story arcs/novels/comics that you did not include on your list, which would have been somewhere on mine.
1. Batman: Nine Lives (If you haven't read this Elseworlds story, you should. I honestly do believe you'll enjoy it...well, except for the way they work Riddler into things. That's really the only problem I HAVE with this comic, honestly.)
2. The Long Halloween (I know you don't like Jeph Loeb that much, and I can totally understand why, but I really do love this story. It would probably be up there in my top five.)
3. Gotham By Gaslight (Another Elseworlds story, with Batman in a Victorian/Edwardian era setting.)
4. A Death in the Family (classic)
5. The Laughing Fish/Sign of the Joker (classic)
6. Batman: Madness (again, it's my favorite Mad Hatter story; the other two stories included in the "Haunted Knight" anthology were okay, but this one takes the cake for me)
7. Under the Red Hood (I saw the movie before I read the story arc; I like them both quite a lot)
8. Night of the Owls (I'm glad to see the Court of Owls are steadily making their way into other media, via "Gotham" and "Batman vs. Robin.")
9. Night of the Shadow (I almost forgot this one. I don't want to go too into detail here, but suffice it to say it's a somewhat similar story to that of the TAS episode "Beware the Gray Ghost!" and involves Batman encountering a character who was a major inspiration in his real-life creation, way back when Bob Kane thought him up...and it connects this character to Bruce Wayne in a manner that does not break the fourth wall. There's a recent comic series that's ongoing involving similar ideas; once it finishes, I may consider it a contender, too.)
That's almost half a list there, albeit in no particular order. XD
Awesome list! Night of the Shadow, is that the story from the 70s where Batman meets the Shadow? Haven't read it in over a decade..
It's one of two, yes. They recently released a six-part miniseries (the fifth issue just came out this week; the sixth is next month) that's also a crossover between Batman and The Shadow. Honestly, it just may be one of my new Top 20, even better than Night of the Shadow. It has a lot of what made Night of the Shadow great, thematically, but is able to take more time, and do a little more with its story, given the six-part structure. (If there's any major downside for me - SPOILER ALERT - it's that the only major Bat-Rogue is the Joker...which I guess makes sense, especially since Mr. J. is bloody everywhere...but considering in issue three we tease Batman being captured by A WHOLE SLEW OF VILLAINS, it's sort of disappointing that they are dealt with so easily and quickly in issue four.)
batman under the red hood takes it alll
can you do a video on the series Gotham joker
