I've been meaning to properly read the batman comics but idk how or where to start,,, pls help?

I actually started reading batman by literally searching up "batman comic reading order" ... huge mistake. unless you want to read the comics in order. that's up to you but for me, there were just too many comics and some of them, I had no interest in but I had to "push through them" to read the comic that I actually did want to read.

tip one: search up "(character) recommended reading" and not "(character) reading order" - this one works for any character, that's why I wrote "character"

tip two: read batman: year one. I'm not necessarily into telling people what to read, because sometimes they might not like it or it's not their style, but this comic is basically his origin story in four short issues, which I personally found were an amazing start to delving into his character

tip three: I feel like everyone says this, but just pick one up. just pick one and start reading. more often than not, you won't need to have prerequisite knowledge to understand that comic, but if you do, you can always go back to the comic that the comic is leading off from

tip four: have some knowledge about the rest of the batfam. you don't need to know their backstories or anything major, just know who they are. like alfred is bruce's butler/father figure, (dick, jason, tim, cass, damian) are all his children and vigilantes (nightwing, red hood, red robin...etc)

tip five: have fun :))

these websites aren't the best, obviously, but they are a great bridge (I guess) into batman's character.

shit parents have no business telling to their kids:

I wish you were never born

Nobody will ever love you like we do

You’re lucky, other children have it worse

I should have beaten you more

You’re so incapable you will die out of stupidity

What can you do

You can’t do anything on your own

You’re so dumb you can’t get one thing done

You’ll never survive on your own

You will never amount to anything

You deserved this pain

You deserved even worse

You’re weak

Nobody cares what you want

Do you think I get what I want?

You’re useless

Why do we even keep you around

Why do we feed you

Who do you think paid for all this

You only take and take and give nothing back

When will you start paying off

also:

any kind of comparison to monsters, demons and pests

any kind of insults or slurs related to appearance, gender or sexual orientation

life-threats or violence-threats, even when they don’t sound serious

convincing children that their boundaries are a problem that needs to be gotten rid of

openly telling children everything that’s going on is their fault

if you feel the need to say these to your children, you obviously have no love or care for them. You think your children should suffer and you see nothing wrong with hurting your own child. You’re a disgrace and a burden on your own child. Children deserve better than this. They deserve parents who love them and protect them from pain. Why would you inflict pain on your own child. You are abusive monsters. If a child is suffering because of you, there’s nothing good about your existence.
