I would definietly recommned Arkham Asylum, plus Death in the Family, Dark Knight Returns and Batman Year One are essentials

Thank you for those suggestions....I was actually considering batman year one as well. I read a bit about death in the family but I wasn't sure if it was a contained story or if I would also need to get him anything that came before to make sense of it.

re: Arkham Asylum - make sure you get the 15th Anniversary Edition hardcover version rather than the original !!!! - it includes the original script plus annotations from the author Grant Morrison and yup, I'm reading this off the back cover

![]() We had a flick through after he unwrapped at and saw all that stuff added onto the ned...it was a nice bonus haha.Quote:
If he likes the Joker then I'd get start him off on some Daredevil stuff, look for Mr.Sinister's presence in the X Men titles but definitely get Arkham Asylum.
I'll suggest these to him.Thanks again for the advice people. I have a very limited knowledge of comics and only have a couple of gambit ones and the pro so the advice is very appreciated

I recommend, 'The Man Who Laughs' - which tells the story of Bats' first encounter with The Joker.
