Batgirl/Red Robin 1: Collision Course
Following the aftermath of BATTLE FOR THE COWL, a new Batman watches over Gotham City. But not everyone is ready to give up on the old one. Someone believes that Bruce Wayne may still be alive…and that someone is Red Robin. But who is wearing the Red Robin costume, and why is he traveling the globe looking for a dead man? Whoever he is, he’s not alone in his search and has been targeted by the League of Assassins.
Plus Stephanie Brown, the vigilante formerly known as The Spoiler and Robin has taken on the identity of Batgirl as she begins her nocturnal crusade to take back the night from the underworld. Now she has become the target of both Gotham City’s heroes (who don’t take kindly to a new person wearing the cape and the cowl) and its villains (who want to see the entire Bat-family six feet deep!)

Vol 4: Gotham
My first attempt at a flip book.
Since Batman’s fall, things are so dangerous on the streets of Gotham that even the crooks feel unsafe. Catwoman, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn are tired of playing by other people’s rules regardless of which side of the law they’re on. These tough ladies have a new agenda that’s all their own, and they’ll use any means necessary to pursue it. But can they get along and work as a team? And who will get hurt along the way? And how will the police feel about thie new Batman — and can he control the crime in Gotham the way the old Batman did? Commissioner Gordon’s about to find out as he teams with the new Batman to combat the fiery threat that Firefly has spread across Gotham City. In a secret bar within the city where magic is used to keep the peace, heroes and villains gather to enjoy a pint and talk about their days. But what happens when the magical barriers that prevent fighting are dropped and a building full of heroes and villains confront each other all at once? Knight and Squire have to find a way to save both friend and foe!

Vol 5: Batman and Robin
Grant Morrison unexpectedly calls on the caped-crusader’s campy Silver Age incarnation to give the wildly popular new series a unique tone. With the original Batman—Bruce Wayne—dead, the new Batman struggles to take over the role and find a balance with the impatient 10-year-old-semi-homicidal new Robin, who is actually Wayne’s own son. The two crime-fighters contend with loads of new villains including the Circus of Crime, the Flamingo, Professor Pig, and a resurrected but ersatz Batman while still dealing with old threats such as the Red Hood, Robin’s own mother Talia Al Ghul and the Black Glove’s ultimate plan. However, the dynamic duo won’t face these threats alone as Knight, Squire, and Batwoman lend a hand! Plus clues to the mysterious death of Bruce Wayne begins to surface! This collection is a must-have for both new readers and longtime fans of Grant Morrison’s Batman epic as the superstar writer unveils more of his genre-defying masterplan!

Batgirl/Red Robin 2: Days of Death
Stephanie Brown’s second semester at Gotham U. starts like any other – new classes, new allies, a vigilante stalker – everything a gal could want! But what Gotham City’s Batgirl isn’t prepared for is the arrival of the mysterious “Order of the Scythe.” Who are they, and why have they set their sights on her? “The Lesson” begins here! The “Order of the Scythe” has drawn first blood, framing Batgirl for a crime she didn’t commit. Can she outrun Gotham City’s Finest long enough to prove her innocence? The birth of Batgirl’s gallery of rogues begins here as “The Lesson” continues!
When Red Robin and his friends are trapped in the unknown world of the Unternet by the Calculator’s fail-safe program, it’s Batman and Robin to the rescue – but which Batman and Robin is it? Unable to control the Unternet, Red Robin is determined to destroy the villains’ communications grid – but may hurt his allies in the process. Finally Batgirl has been given her first sanctioned Batman Incorporated assignment solving a series of high-profile kidnappings, and she’s thrilled! Well, she was – until Robin decided to ride shotgun. Can the Dysfunctional Duo stop fighting long enough to save the children of Gotham City’s elite?

I stuck strictly with the Morrison issues with the exception of leaving in the Resurrection of Ras Al Ghul crossover. To me the other issues use ideas, but never materialize as anything but filler.
I also threw in Final Crisis #6 at the end even though it appears in my FC bind as well. I like the conclusive nature of the bind, allowing for Batman & Robin / Return of Bruce Wayne to start the next bind
