It just involves a lot of discussion and debate online. For some reason, DC still manages to butcher it.

Batman and Son
Batman 655-658
Batman 663-669

Resurrection of Ra’s Al Ghul
Batman Annual 26
Batman 670
Robin 168
Nightwing 138
Detective 838
Batman 671
Robin 169
Nightwing 139
Detective 839-840, 842

(Obviously, not the most necessary GM book, since he only writes two issues. Still, I included it for completeness’s sake.)

R.I.P.
Batman 672-675
DC Universe 0 (three pages with Batman and Joker)
Batman 676-681

Final Crisis

The polarizing
universe wide event contained the multiverse, Monitors and the remaining Fourth World New Gods. It is well known for being the day evil won as Darksied took control of everything with the Anti-Life Equation. As time and space fractured the story frequently jumped from point to point much like changing the channels on a television.

As my first non Green Lantern DC event I enjoyed Final Crisis. To me it was an abstract love story to the comic art form. I liked it so much that I decided to go backwards and collect the other DC events to connect more of the dots that I may have been ignorant to.
