Bat Family Comic Reading List New 52
I have a mission. To read all of these before the year is out. Late start I know. I decided to mostly go chronologically, but some of this is guess work and compiling of others reading lists. The yellow highlighted indicate crossovers. I am not reading every comic that DC dropped during the New 52 run, but I will read an issue if it falls into the crossover. I also tossed some other things in for fun or if I just like the character. Orange highlights mean I might not read this at all, but it looks interesting...So I might. We will see what I have time for. I put the single issues of Futures End in here for reference but will likely not read the series, but I didn't want to skip issues of series I am reading.

I am working on a list for Rebirth as well. I also want to note I have read some of these already, but I want to reread them all in order so I get the full effect. If you feel I missed something important or have some suggestions for other reads I am all ears.
Thanks so much,
