The one Batman trade everyone should read.īatman: HUSH - its quality is debatable, but you can't deny that this collaboration between Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee marks a definitive run on Batman, and serves as an excellent introduction to new readers.īatman: The Long Halloween - another really weird omission considering nGAF's obsession with it.
