This is predominantly a collection of all the Batman stories by the creative team of Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle. However, in putting them together, I couldn’t resist putting the handful of Detective issues drawn by Alan Davis at the beginning of the first volume. Breyfogle’s depiction of the Dark Knight still defines my mental image of what Batman should be like. He draws Batman with a fluidity that no one other than perhaps Neal Adams could match. Plus his Batman has a personality, a sense of humor, a sly little grin that lets you know he’s not losing his edge.

Don’t forget the major Grant/Breyfogle contribution to the special Detective #627. I separated that chunk out easily enough and included it as well in my G/B collection.
Good call. I completely missed that little story. Too late for my collection though, as they were bound a while back
The Retro 90′s Batman special coming out will belong in here as well placed after issue 613.
My map is broken into three future volumes, 1 Batman, 1 Detective, and 1 other, and strictly Grant/Breyfogle except in one instance. X-overs will go in Batman. You could split Detective into 2 volumes or combine with other and split into 2 or just make 3 Chronological volumes.
