The Batman combines ideas from more than one period of the comics, so its source material is better read as a group than as one direct adaptation. Start with Batman: Year One #404–407, then compare it with The Long Halloween #1–13 and Batman: Ego. The additional references below broaden that trail into the characters, continuity and ideas surrounding the film.
