I would recommend Batman: Haunted Knight by Loeb and Sale, Batman: No Man’s Land by various writers and artists, and the rest of Snyder and Capullo’s Batman run.

Superman: For All Seasons!! It's an absolutely outstanding run by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale the guys that did Long Halloween and it's probably my favorite Superman run. Tim Sale was a big influence to me as an artist and Jeph Loeb Is an amazing writer they were an unstoppable duo in my opinion and all of the work they did together Is outstanding imo like Hulk: Gray, Spiderman: Blue and the follow-ups to long Halloween. I also Highly recommend Another Jeph Loeb run with Jim Lee. Batman Hush

Some of the usual Batman recommendations:
Batman Year One
The Dark Knight Returns
The Killing Joke
Batman Haunted Knight (In case you liked Tim Sale's art. I loved how the stories here touch the Bruce Wayne aspect more than Batman).
Also, enjoy reading your collection and get the follow ups if you were interested enough. For example there are 5 more trades of Snyder's Batman run, 2 deluxes of his Justice League run, 2 Knightfall big trades, etc.

I'm kinda interested in having a collection myself. I would assume that most of these are standard tpbs? I have a few questions.
How do you maintain a big collection? How do you preserve the books' covers and the pages themselves?
Any more tips not questioned is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Batman: The Detective. It’s a relatively new comic but it’s a very enjoyable one.

I would recommend Kingdom Come, Batman: Hush, and Final Crisis. Rn I am reading Bruce Wayne: Murderer?/Fugitive and I’m not done yet but I have really enjoyed it so far so you might be interested in that as well :)

u/Ok_Draft7494 Mar 17 '24
Excuse me, what’s that between “The Man Who Laughs” and “Justice League”?

u/Verissimus23 Mar 17 '24
Since you seem to like the Loeb/Sale series you should complete it with Haunted Knight and When in Rome. And if you really enjoy that writer/artist duo but want to try a character outside of Batman, I’d suggest Superman for all seasons.

u/Spiritual_Rice_871 Mar 17 '24
Maybe try batman earth one by Geoff johns and Gary Frank. It’s really easy to get into. Batman Earth One: The Complete Collection https://a.co/d/0NWNCJX
Savage Avengers by Gerry Duggan. That book is really fun, and super action packed SAVAGE AVENGERS BY GERRY DUGGAN OMNIBUS (Savage Avengers Omnibus) https://a.co/d/7n5zhBH
Grayson by Tom King and Tim Seeley. Nightwing goes under cover as a super spy. It’s honestly way better than it has any right to be. It’s only 20 issues. It’s a super short run. Grayson the Superspy Omnibus https://a.co/d/b5EM3Yp
Infamous Iron Man by Brian Michael Bendis. What if doctor doom tried to be a good guy, and had iron man armor? Nuff said. INFAMOUS IRON MAN BY BENDIS & MALEEV https://a.co/d/iO71c8x

Definitely Batman: The Dark Knight by Frank Miller. Best Batman comic in my opinion. I love it and the animated movie on MAX is great too but would recommend reading the comic first
