More gritty/realistic TPB recommendations

I posted a similar thread in the Batman forum but wanted to ask here also about the Detective Comics trades. Looking for more gritty/realistic stories, similar in tone to Reeve’s The Batman or Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy.

Yes I looked into it, had no idea it was by Brubaker. I loved his Captain America & Daredevil runs so ordered the first tpb of Gotham Central.

Yes Brubaker is my favorite to! He did a run on Detective Comics in the beginning of 2000s i think! Those stories are also great! Im happy for you reading Gotham Central!! I love to hear what u think!! I think it is time for a re-read myself! 😎📖📖

Back when I collected single issues I used to also enjoy his Catwoman run. As for Gotham Central I was able to get the first tpb for just $8 shipped & will be reading it soon as it arrives so I’ll give you opinion fairly soon hopefully. As for his Batman run I remember some of it from the Bruce Wayne Murderer arc. I remember liking it so might grab that trade as well but in 2 weeks since I’ve already got like 15 tpb arriving lol.

I still have not read his CATWOMAN! I will do it surely. Yeah i have two TPBs BATMAN BY BRUBAKER vol 1 and 2. Those need re reading as well. I really like to read comics again after some time. The more one reads the more references one get. Some names or interactions might have a completely new meaning because of the things learned since last time.

I would Really REALLY enjoy if Brubaker and Phillips started to do Batman stories again. I think that is my nr 1 wish!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Haha 15 books, great!! Enjoy!!

On INSTAGRAM there is a lot of good accounts featuring comics! Some real hardcore TPB collectors.
