Hi all. Im currently going through and reading for the first time(as crazy as that sounds) The saga that is Batman No Mans Land. Im about half way trough volume 1 and have enjoyed it so far. I was just curious in my fellow dc fanatics opinion, where does the story rank? Did you like it? Have you read it? Lets discuss here.

#2 in all time Batman stories.
I feel like my username answers that one but YES!
Never. (I’m kidding, many times).
Bwhahahahaaa! Someone who wasn’t me finally made a thread about NML! NML introduced Harley Quinn, Cassandra Cain, and the now standard map of Gotham among many other things to comics! It started the Nightwing/Oracle romance, set up Renee Montoya coming out, and was the last time anyone saw poor Harold until Hush.
(Thanks @MatthewHecht )

Still need to finish it. Not bad BUT being a maxi-series and all, my mind keeps going back to Knightfall and on, feeling that was better I guess.

Great story.
It was the first time I ever picked ALL the monthly Bat-books. One of these days I’ll have to break down and do a reread.

I absolutely LOVE No Man’s Land! It is by far my favorite Bat-crossover of the '90s (and very, very early 00s) and then some.
Likewise. I was in high school when No Man’s Land was really cooking, and it was so much fun to hit up my store after school every week to get the low-down on what was going down in the 'ol NML, via the latest and greatest from the entire Bat-line.

It’s one of the most powerful crossovers DC’s ever produced. Hope you continue enjoying it!

The story is really awesome, IMO. However, I do feel like there were points that were dragged on unnecessarily. And I personally love long stories, but I’ll admit, there were things that could’ve been taken out. But No Man’s Land is def a 9/10.

This is 1 of those stories that I don’t know if I’ll ever get to just because there are so many freaking issues that it’s kind of intimidating

That is one of the reasons i am only reading it for the first time now. Not sure how long it will take me to get through it but i am enjoying it so far.

It’s worth it! Just a few issues at at time, and it’ll be done before you know it!

Finished volume 1. Started v volume 2. An d yeah fyi in case you didnt know they have in sorted in 4 volumes in ultra. That way you dont have to look at it as tackling 100 different issues. It worked that way for me anyway Really is a epic story thus far . It s gonna take me abit to get through it all but im determined. The more i read the more i want to.

Fear not! It’s absolutely worth it! Trust me! I’m completely unbiased. (Why do you keep looking at me like that?)

I like the general concept of a contingency plan gone wrong. I don’t like that it (temporarily) killed Stephanie Brown.

Mebbe because you left the bathroom like this, Ace?
Now, refresh my memory Steph-hounds: Was Steph directly involved in NML?
Its been at least a good 10 years since I’ve last re-read NML in-full, so please be kind if I am indeed forgetting a crucial NML adventure of hers.
