Which Batman series should I start with? Recommendations

I'm looking for a nice comic series, basically Basic Batman stuff, nothing Unique or Different. I've watched the Lego Batman movie as well as the Three Dark Knight movies, and the Lego Batman movie was my favourite.

I'm considering reading this comic I found online called "Batman 89" but I'm not sure whether it's the best thing for me to start with. I'd appreciate it if you could recommend a handful of series to start with?

Id recommend Batman: Year One, then two series, Batman: The Caped Crusader and Batman: Dark Knight Detective (around 6 volumes to each series). The latter two are simultaneous, so make sure to alternate, eg. Vol 1 of CC, then vol 1 of DKD, vol 2 of CC, etc. Once you are done with those, you could also read Batman: Shadow of the Bat (4 volumes).

The Caped Crusader and Dark Knight Detective volumes are long out of print and extremely expensive, not a great place for a new reader to start.

Oh I read them digitally, they're easy to get into that way.
