I answered your question before. Did you check out the list? I can't be specific because there's more than one way to start any comic.Where do I start with the batman comics?
to earn any respect you have to read at least these two comics...



Batman: Year One



Arkham Asylumn: a serious house on a serious earth



plus if you are a little better... Killing Joke



bonus readings... Mad Love... and the comic where joker killed robin with the crow bar. also: devils advocate is also good but nothing in comparison to the rest.



... although just to see joker in a hawaiin shirt... if you are truly dedicated... is so worth to see devils advocate. of course i am not a batman fan but a joker fan.



...and what do i know. i am just a chick who is in my mid thirties that is pretty and knows computers... and sign language and has read literature from a multitude of countries... intrepreted into english. i have estrogen therefore i am stupid and dont know **** about comics.



.. but i am single. anyone up for grabs?Where do I start with the batman comics?
Batman Year One is the best place the start, written by Frank Miller which depicts a gritty and realistic portrayal of Batman.



After That Try The Man Who Laughs Last which tells the story of the Joker and is within the continuity of Year One.



I could tell you some more but I think it'll take forever, so here's an awesome list which helped me:
