Remove under the hood. Cataclysm is thrash too.
Add O'Neil's issues, Lapham' tec, more of Dini's tec, Alan Grant's run, Moench and Kelley's run, barr's outsiders, Legends of the dark knight and Batman adventures line. Ostrander, Milligan and wolfman had short runs in early 90s.

>Cataclysm is trash
You are trash. Batman facing an issue he could solve or fix hit straight into the core of the character. The Aftershock issue in which Montoya recognizes one of his relatives among the looters brought me to tears.
>>
>Morrison's trash
Why would you include that? That's the worst character assassination Batman ever suffered

>>87948465
>Cataclysm is thrash too.
Gonna have to seriously disagree with you on that one, freind
>Add O'Neil's issues
Any in particular you had in mind?
>Lapham' tec
Honestly I was pretty nonplussed by City of Crime
> more of Dini's tec
I included my favorite parts of his run, but again, if you had more in mind go ahead
>Alan Grant's run
A bit of it is in the Robin: Reborn storyline
>Legends of the dark knight
I included a number of the better stories from that series
>>

I see Heart of Hush but not regular Hush. I mean the story is ok but if you're going to list one why not the other? Also honorable mentions for villain origins I would say Scarecrow Year One and Penguin Pain and Prejudice

I'm really, really enjoying Batman: Earth One, and am endlessly pissed how slowly it's moving.
I also have a soft spot for the Azzarello 'Joker' book.

>I see Heart of Hush but not regular Hush.
Because Heart of Hush is a great Dini story and Hush is insanely overrated

All of O'neil's written issues good to great. Night of the Reaper and here's no hope in crime alley are two of my favourite batman stories, both written by O'Neil. But I don't think there's a complete collection yet.
Rest of Dini's run is collected in Detective, Private casebook and death and the city.
I don't which parts are collected in Robin Reborn, but the best parts of Alan Grant were in the late 80s.
