Here's my shot:

1- Death in the Family

2- Death in the Family

3- Death in the Family

4- Death in the Family

 

I'm embarassed to say that I have only read the first 5 storylines. I am pretty far behind on my reading . . .

 

Of the first 5 you know my number 1, but Dark Knight Returns was THE storyline of the 80s, Year 1 is some nice stuff, Killing Joke is good and a quick read, and Knightfall was okay.

 

DAM

Gotta go with Year One as the fav.....

 

DKR Follows a real close 2nd, and Killing Joke will always be their....

 

Death in the Family was good, but.....

1 Dark Knight Returns

2 Year One

3 and up, everything else in no particular order

 

 

absolutely dead last.... the new Dark Knight series.... I love Frank Miller's work, but he had some funky stuff in his cigarettes when he sat down to do that one.

Where's Arkham Asylum?

 

And the best on your list is Year One, followed by DKR, and then No Man's Land(but it's long and you have to read the whole thing to apreciate it).
