1997 Listing | 1998 Listing | 1999 Listing
Many people cannot pick up their comics on a weekly basis. For them, it is often difficult to determine which order to read the issues. This page provides a suggested reading order for all Batman-related titles. Note that this only includes titles that are included in the Batman continuity - this means that Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight and The Batman and Robin Adventures are not included in this list. I have not decided yet whether to include one-shots, as most are in continuity but don't really fall into the timeline. For the time being, I am including mini-series that aren't specifically outside continuity. This is basically what DC has done with the Superman titles.
