Once you have read Year One (Batman #407-410), you can start reading the series Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight for more early Batman stories.

Court of owls and city of owls are both good starting points

Batman definitely drinks both coffee and tea, regularly, depending on time of day and what Alfred brings him. He would never drink soda.

I’m so jealous that you get to read all the Batman runs, arcs, crossovers etc for the 1st x. Wish I could have Zatanna lobotomize me & start fresh on em. Just a touch not as far as Dr. Light just a Batman dose.

Start with the run that every Batman fan agrees is the best, Tom King’s run starting in Batman #1 (2016).

Flame war starts in 3, 2, 1…
