My "gateway drug" into comics was Batman: The Animated Series. From there I moved on to a couple Batman trade paperbacks and The Long Halloween before fully graduating to picking up the monthly titles.
But somewhere along the line, Batman and I grew apart. I became more interested in the cosmic characters with superpowers and well, Grant Morrison took over Batman. But to be honest, I wasn't happy with the handful of writers before Morrison anyhow.
I believe Batman #682 was the beginning of the end for me. I stopped getting any of the Batman titles after that zur-en-arrh nonsense.
So long Batman. Perhaps we'll meet again someday.

Ps. I like to imagine Boyz II Men's "End of the Road" playing in the background of that last panel. "Baby, I knew about it. I just didn't care..."
