Here is where Batman trade paperbacks of collected comic issues and graphic novels are reviewed for beginners and the compulsive continuity freaks who need to fix their urges and pains and cravings.
Hopefully KUNST will contribute to your Batman needs and review for interest. Batman has a long and extensive history with a reasonably convoluted history. However, this site should provide beginners and long time fans who are confused or want to know where to start.

I thought it might worth making a list of some trades that are currently out of print that DC has not bothered to give us of late. It should be noted there are a lot of issues, pivotal to continuity, that have never been collected in trades. The following are trades that are major story arcs for the D.C. Universe continuity, yet currently are not available:
BATMAN
Batman: Four Of A Kind, Batman: Strange Apparitions, Batman: The Cult, Batman: Contagion, Batman: Legacy, Batman: Cataclysm (to be reprinted in 2015), Nightwing: Year One, Batgirl Rising
SUPERMAN
Superman: Panic In The Sky, Superman: Krisis Of The Krimson Kryptonite, Superman: They Saved Luthor's Brain
GREEN LANTERN
Green Lantern: The Road Back, Green Lantern: Emerald Twilight/New Dawn, Green Lantern: Baptism Of Fire, Green Lantern Corps Recharge
FLASH
Flash: Trial Of The Flash (Currently only available in black & white Showcase), Flash: Born To Run, Flash: Terminal Velocity, Flash: Born To Run
WONDER WOMAN
Wonder Woman: God's & Mortals, Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia
GREEN ARROW
Green Arrow: Quiver (Supposed to be reprinted soon)
CROSSOVERS
Zero Hour: Crisis In Time, The Final Night
If you're a completist, then not having these readily available will make you depressed!

Court Of Owls
Exciting from the get go. Batman is introduced stopping a riot inside Arkham alongside Nightwing, disguised as the Joker. Scott Snyder bursts onto the scene as the new writer for Batman. Something is watching Batman from between the very foundations that hold up Gotham City. It may or may not be tied to Bruce Wayne's family past and may or may not be tied to Gotham City's history. The real question is how has Batman not know that the Court Of Owls has been there from the very beginning? ...Read More
Faces Of Death

For one, Batman has a bad relationship with the police, something that doesn't exist under the other Batman title. One thing they do share is that he no longer wears underwear on the outside...
