2. All-Star Batman and Robin

Unfortunately, this one was.

Oh, boy. Oh, boy oh boy oh boy. THIS friggin’ comic book. All-Star Batman and Robin isn’t so much a garbage fire as it is a garbage fire hit by a windstorm, and now there’s burning trash everywhere and it’s setting everything else on fire, too.

The series was intended to be a retelling of Robin’s origin and first days with Batman. Unfortunately, Miller’s depiction of Batman is…uh…something, all right. The book is most famous for the ironically funny catch phrase it spawned: “What, are you dense? Are you retarded or something? Who the hell do you think I am? I’m the g*ddamn Batman!” Wow, that sure is a line of dialogue. If you ever wanted to know how to generate an Internet meme through the power of bad writing, here you go. The series itself is full of present-day Miller’s trademark inability to write women and his shock value over substance obsession.

But if you wanted to read a book about a legitimate psychopath in a batsuit screaming curses like he stubbed his toe and terrorizing a child, then I guess this is for you? But you can honestly do better.
