![]() ![]() The collected edition that contains each issue is indicated, and links for them on Amazon are provided. Those issues are marked with an asterisk. There are a few issues that Snyder either plotted or co-wrote that can be skipped they’re not crucial to the overall story and don’t have the same narrative flow. I didn’t include any event tie-ins or issues from other series unless Snyder was directly involved. So this is my reading order of the whole run, restructured from the single issue and collected edition order, for the best narrative impact. Snyder (along with his collaborators) often used the various stand-alone issues, annuals, and backups to seed little details that pay off in later arcs. You could just read it in the published or collected order, but the published order is broken up by events and fill-ins, and the collections miss out on some of the narrative impact of the one-shots and backups by grouping them together. ![]() It will probably go down as one of the best Batman runs of all time. Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s run on Batman was one of the only consistently great parts of the New 52. ![]()
