Can you recommend some other best single issue Batman stories?

One of the best is 'The Killing Joke'. It delved deep into the relationship between Batman and the Joker, exploring the Joker's possible origin. It's a dark and psychological story that challenges Batman's moral code.

Another great single - issue comic is 'Watchmen #1'. It sets up the complex world of the Watchmen with its unique characters and alternate - history setting. The writing is so detailed that it draws you in right from the start and makes you eager to explore more of this universe.

Look at the critical acclaim. If a single - issue comic has won awards or has been highly praised by critics, it's likely to be among the best. For example, 'Maus' which won a Pulitzer Prize is a great single - issue (in a sense of being a complete and impactful story on its own) comic that deals with heavy themes in a unique way.

Definitely. 'Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth' is amazing. It's a psychological exploration. 'Zero Year' is really cool as it updates Batman's origin. Also, 'Gotham by Gaslight' is a very interesting alternate - universe take on Batman.

Also, 'Batman: Endgame' is a great one. The Joker returns in a big way, spreading a new form of his toxin across Gotham. The story is filled with high - stakes action and some really mind - boggling twists as Batman tries to stop the Joker once again and save Gotham from total chaos.

Sure. There's a story where the Penguin runs for mayor of Gotham. He uses his charm and devious schemes to gain popularity, but Batman sees through his act. It's a great story as it shows the Penguin's ambition and Batman's determination to protect Gotham from such a corrupt figure.

I would also mention 'Court of Owls'. Batman discovers a secret society in Gotham, the Court of Owls. He has to use all his detective skills to uncover their plans and stop them from causing chaos in the city. It's a modern and thrilling Batman detective story.

How about 'Zero Year'? It's a story that goes back to Batman's origin in a different way. There's a mystery surrounding a new threat to Gotham that only Batman can solve. It shows his growth as a detective and a hero, and has some amazing art to go along with the story.

Sure. 'Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight' has some great Christmas - themed issues. They often explore Batman's relationship with the city and its people during the holiday. It's interesting to see how he deals with crime when everyone else is celebrating.

In 'Scarecrow: Year One', we get to see the origin of Scarecrow. It's a really interesting take on how he became the master of fear. His early experiments with fear and how they shaped him into the villain he is in the Batman universe are explored in detail. This origin story is definitely one of the best when it comes to Scarecrow stories.
