Personally, V (V for Vendetta) has my favorite origin story.

Are you asking for the best comic (or episode or film) to depict the origin, or are you asking for our favorite details to be included in the origin?

If it’s the former, then my all-time favorite Batman origin story is found in Detective Comics #574 by Mike W. Barr. This issue is dated to May 1987, the same month that you’ll find on the final issue of Batman: Year One. And I certainly prefer this issue over any issue of Year One (which is frankly more of a Jim Gordon comic, anyway).

I more meant what is your favorite story as in year one, zero year, etc. I am just trying to get some discussion going on origin stories though because with all the reboots and retcons there are so many.
