I agree with many people that the Denny O'Neil and Grant Morrison era had some of the best batman stories. Batman then was actually interesting to read. I think Batman Begins did well because this is the batman they based off the most.
I never cared for DK2, with a batman that tolerated killing. He's and old grouch in that and that has came into the current comics. (Batman has to be near 40, thinking with the timeframe and how many issues there's been since the Year One era.)

The odd thing is that the issues around Year One were set in the "present day." Year One was just a bump in the raod re-telling Batman's origin with a few tweaks here and there.
Superman and Wonder Woman had fresh starts, but Batman wasn't really that affected by the Crisis (the on on Infinite Earths). That can really make Batman continuity really difficult to establish because the Batman before the Crisis was very similar to the one after. The only realy change was Jason Todd. He went from being a Dick Grayson clone to a street kid.
What happened with the stories featurning the pre-crisis superman and batman? Since batman didn't change much and his backround, but surpermans did, are those stories simply ignored?
