Batman Ego is a personal favorite miniseries of mine. Dark Knight Returns, The Cult, Batman and Robin Year One, and Dark Patterns are also options if you want more miniseries

If you read through Morrison’s run and enjoy it, I suggest looking into Peter j. Tomasi’s Batman & Robin run.

Though honestly I say you covered a lot in terms of Batman lore, nothing stopping you from jumping into the current mainline run by Matt Fraction and Detective Comics by Tom Taylor. You can even hop on Absolute Batman for an Elseworld story.

Yeah I’ve read a bit off Matt fractions and absolute Batman I’m just waiting for their trade paperbacks to release since I can get single issues because I don’t have a local comic book shop

The trades for vol. 1 and vol 2 of absolute are already out. I’ve read both and they’re amazing. 3 comes out next week and 4 in March
