Hey Cred Forumsmrades! Long time browser of Cred Forums (Since the days where Cred Forums was love.) First time storytimer.
I always see people asking "Where do I start with Batman?" Well recently I came into a collection of Batman storylines all arranged in chronological order, from Year One all the way to Final Crisis.
I've decided to take on the task of storytiming this entire collection, from start to finish. How long it will take me, I have no idea, but if anyone wants to read some Batman, come join me, as we explore a looooong line of Batman stories.
Here we GO!

Liam James
P.S. If anyone has any tips to make Storytiming easier, or faster, let me know. Already got 4chin plus for this, but apparently that doesn't get rid of post delays.

Gavin Thompson
I wish they'd do more stories where they jumped between different characters.
Julian Myers
Um the first Batman story was Detective Comics not Batman issue 404. You got your chronology wrong.
Ethan Long
...
Owen Hughes
I'm storytiming a certain set of canon. I am SO not storytiming every issue of Batman ever you condescending knob. Now sit down, enjoy the storytime, or go start your own.

How Bruce Wayne started avenging his parents. Dressing up as a hobo and beating up hookers. Thomas would be proud.

Yeah, I've read it too many times. I definitely wish there were more stories like this nowadays and less of Batman punching his way out of every problem with robot suits against villain of the week.
Blake King
His parents DIED?! Jesus fuck! No wonder he's so messed up!
Leo Thomas
Iconic as fuck moment right here! I will become... A bat...
Wyatt Russell
Next issue! In which Bruce Wayne tries Larping!

One of my favourite Batman scenes. Would love to see it in live action. In which, Batman apparently had to piss himself to improve the scene.... Looking at YOU Kevin Smith...

Branden is the hero this City needs. And the one it deserves right now...
Nolan Ortiz
Next issue! In which Batman saves a cat, and summons the bats.

why normal batman when you could do miller batman and do asbar after this

I also love this scene.

Is anybody reading? Should I continue? Just kidding, I don't give a shit.
Don't you hate it when storytimers stop the story to ask that shit? Pls respond.
James Russell
...
Brandon Gomez
I actually really don't like Miller Batman, Year One included. I feel like he doesn't really get Batman.
Andrew Evans
...
Jonathan Price
The ol "NOT MUH" eh?
Luke Reed
Well fear not chum! There's plenty more writers to come! Honestly I really like Year One, but alot of Miller's other stuff I can't even stand.
Kevin Cruz
Yeah, pretty much. But if Brave and the Bold taught me anything it's that it's okay to be different with Batman
Adam Lewis
To be fair, I get where he's coming from. I think we all have our own image of what we feel Batman should be like. I think that's part of why I wanted to do this massive storytime, so we could all take a look together at some of Batman's changes through the years. See what we like, what we don't, and all talk about it along the way.
Nicholas Russell
Personally some of my favourite depictions of Batman have been in little side stories like Legends of the Dark Knight. Which I was happy to see has been worked into this torrent I grabbed. There's a lot of titles worked into it. Someone put some good time into organizing it all.
Benjamin Gray
...
Nathan Hughes
With this Catwoman scene, I think it's a good time to ask. Next story on the list is a Catwoman one that basically just covers Year One from her perspective. I've never read it myself. Do we want that next? Or should I skip on to the next Batman story?

Ok, end of Year One. I'm gonna pee. If there's no decision on the Catwoman story by the time I get back, I'm gonna skip it for one about Alfred. Cause Alfred is boss.
Joseph Rivera
Shouldn't The Man Who Laughs be next?
Juan Green
I thought so too! But this torrent has a bunch of smaller stories that have been written about the time between the bigger ones. It's pretty sick.
Hudson Collins
Year One's take on Catwoman is like the lowpoint of the story desu, probably just skip it for Based Alfred.
Eli Sanders
It is actually number 16 on the list! Also, I'm skipping the Catwoman one. I've never read this one either, so it could be good, could be shit, let's find out together. We will appreciate, or mock it accordingly.
It's super short though.
Zachary Cook

Blake Murphy

Alfred looks so unimpressed.
Bruce is like me when I first cosplayed as Batman. "Like my costume Mom?"

Easton Bailey

Dylan Howard
Big props for using the original singles scans, and not the recolored reprint versions.
Wyatt Perry
Fin.
Next one looks like it shows the effect of Batman on Bruce's personal life. Never read it before either. And I've read a lot of Batman.
Christopher Anderson
Props for that goes to whoever uploaded this file I got. I'm just passing it on while I read it myself.
Jackson Reyes
Also, expect the art to jump around, whoever put this torrent together put it together chronologically by story, as in points of Batman's career. Not when the issue came out.
Jackson Carter
...
Charles Scott
...
Andrew Hill

Elijah Allen
Aw snap! Bat trips! Also, triple 4's while posting the 4th page of the 4th story in the torrent on Cred Forums.... Grant Morrison, what does this mean?
Matthew Turner
...
Daniel Jackson
Look! In the alley! It's a Bat! It's a Man!
Logan Nguyen

Jaxon Perez
>skipping Year One Catwoman because one tumblrina here is offended by it Poor form.
Nathaniel Torres
Why the thumbnail for that last one is Yellowjacket I have no idea... But it's an actual page when you open it.
Austin Reed
Actually, I kind of already decided to skip it because I'm more interested in doing a big Batman storytime, and less of a Catwoman one. Also I didn't want to just do a retread of the first story. Is it any good user?
Carson Martinez
>recently I came into a collection of Batman storylines all arranged in chronological order Got a copy of the list of titles in chronological order?
Justin Diaz

Landon Perry
I don't, but I can screen cap it, and post them after this issue.
Brody Reed

Luis Ward

Aaron Edwards
that'd be great thanks
James Jones

Gabriel Ross
Cool, a few pages left, then I'll throw them up. It'll be 6 images, one of each folder in the torrent.
Juan Nguyen
You're a madman, OP. But I appreciate the effort.
Jackson Nelson
You think this is insane? One time my friends told me to lay on the floor, and I actually did it!
Gavin Hughes
Sorry Babe, I'm married to Justice...
James Bell
We now take this brief intermission to show you the size of this torrent. And a peak at what's to come.
Wyatt Perez
...
William Walker

Andrew Perez
Also, to the user upset that I skipped Catwoman Year One, good news, I didn't the story I skipped was literally a retelling of Batman Year One from her viewpoint.
I've read Catwoman Year One. I know it's got some important plot points, and a decent story. It's still coming up on the list.
Camden Carter
OP... that's probably over 400 issues and counting, my man.
Grayson Foster
...
Colton Baker
I know man... I know.... Like I said, I have zero idea how long this will take. Could be over the course of several years for all I know. But I wanted to fill my spare time, spread some Batman, and bring some threads back to Cred Forums that aren't just Cred Forums shit posts. So here I am... On this mad quest.
Logan James
>full circle huh forgot this was a thing anyway user good luck getting at least a third of the way through this
Bentley Smith
Lol, I'm gonna need it... Now onto Shaman!
Owen Brown
Just so you know, I've downloaded this torrent before. It isn't even fucking close to a good "chronological" order. It's also filled with really poor quality scans despite better versions being available. It's also fucking massive.
I'm not trying to be an asshole. But you really need to give up. Better now than later.
Bentley Howard
...
Connor Cruz
Long hair, don't care. Worst case scenario, we enjoy some random Batman comics. There are worse things in life.
Juan Cooper
...
Thomas Ross
...
Joseph Morris
...
Ian Young
I very much welcome your desire to storytime a fuckload of comics.
But this is not the way. There are better chronologies and better quality scans/digitals. And honestly if you really want to expose Cred Forums to new shit...Batman isn't really gonna do that. But you do you, I guess.
Aaron Taylor
...
Juan Sullivan
New Batman shit. There are stories in here even I haven't read. I used to be Batman for a living you know. But then I joined the Navy, so now I miss being Batman, so I guess this is my lament for my past life. I dunno, I'm probably crazy or some shit, who knows? I appreciate the concern though bud.
Xavier Jenkins
Holy shit! No wonder they called him Joe CHILL! The dude was a fucking Snowman! Best canon.
Owen Gutierrez
...
Michael Evans
...
Julian Turner
Old Native Batman comics were weird.
Gabriel Brooks
I'm considering getting the Absolute Year one since they're releasing the original coloring, but it seems like a lot for such a short story.
Jeremiah Mitchell
...
Isaiah Morales
Yeah? How much are they running it for?
Isaiah Gomez
I remember really liking this comic when I read it last. But I also remember hating how long it takes to get interesting.
Kayden Garcia
Wow this got pretty weird suddenly.
>tfw I live in Alaska
Blake Martin
Alfred being a snide fuck. Based Alfred. Putting Bruce in his place since day one.
Nathaniel Ward
Did a Snowman shoot your parents too? Does that happen up there?
Nathan Fisher
...
Josiah Carter
Oh man, check out my 1337 post. Fuck dubs, I've got mad Haxxing skillz. Remember when that was a thing? Fuck I'm old...
Ryan Sanders
No, I'm not aware of any snowmen packing heat.
Charles Foster
I shall become... A Bat Shaman...
Colton Perez
$125 retail, which means probably $60 on IST.
Brody Collins
Heh. Temperature pun... Jesus. I see what you mean.
Mason Diaz
I like the simplicity of this page. The non threatening face, then the scowl reminds me of Alfred as the Joker from Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader. "A green wig, purple suit, white grease paint. And it all did nothing... Until I smiled...

Brayden Gray
Alfred banter never, ever gets old.
Ryder Campbell
Alfred Banter is Best Agreed, I LOVE Gotham Nights. Part of why I like this collection is it incorporating some of my favourite stuff from some of the spinoff titles like Legends of The Dark Knight. I'll check, and if not, I have another torrent, and will totally add them in.
Caleb Gutierrez
Did you mean the story Gotham Nights? Or the one with all the Bat Senpai called Gotham Knights? The prior is indeed in the collection, the latter is not, but I love the shit out of it, and will probably add it in. Cause I love the Bat Senpai.
Nolan Hill
Fun fact. Bat F@m auto translates to Bat Senpai. This entertains me to no end.

Is Batman: Ego on the cards? I have no idea where it'd fit chronologically but it's one of the best Batman stories IMO
Jayden Robinson

Ryan Edwards
Thanks man, I'll check it out tomorrow. And I don't see it after a quick ctrl f, but I'll check my other torrents tomorrow, and add it in if not.
Kevin Hill
I checked, I definitely have it. I'll read it tomorrow and find a place to add it in.
Jace Johnson
Turns out in the first few pages he says exactly where it fits in. It's three years into his career.
Logan Hall
Oh snap! Image cap hit with like 8 pages to go! Gonna make a new thread...

New thread is Here:

BATS DON'T CRASH THROUGH WINDOWS
also; bruce decided to become a bat while delirious from blood loss
... and yet you know i don't care right
i just don't care
Adam Gonzalez
Cheap glass.
He needed a sign so Alfred lobbed a bat through the window.
Anthony Jones
like i said m8, i don't care - still love batman
Brayden Rogers
Big project you've taken on, OP - but I'm appreciating this an awful lot, so even if you don't manage to finish it all; you have my thanks.
Hudson Barnes
Bloody hell OP. I commend you for attempting this feat. I wish you well and hope you can complete it. And you have given me what I am going to do today.
Read motherfucking Batman.
Also please make sure you do Gothic. I've never read it.

It fucking is....and I LOVE how hardcore Jim Gordon is in it!

Out of interest, where did you acquire this torrent? I too would like to grab it. I kind of grew up on a lot of these stories, and I'd like to read them again.
Xavier Rogers
A bit tryhard.
Angel Garcia
I like how ridiculous Alfred finds this.
Nicholas Richardson
Yep
Adam Hall
I like when Alfred is sassy
John Bailey
Amazed the first thread is still here. I just searched for a Batman torrent compilation. The torrent is just called Batman Chronological Compiled.
