Anyone ever read these guys' Batman graphic novels? I believe the "trilogy" they made were The Long Halloween, Dark Victory, and Haunted Knight. The first two are directly connected and the Haunted Knight one is kinda hard to place in terms of a timeline but along with Hush and the Killing Joke those are my all-time favorite Batman stories. Clearly The Dark Knight (arguably the best Batman movie ever made) was based on The Long Halloween in many aspects, and Dark Victory is another story I'd love to see a film based around although it would require a ton of characters, and isn't as tailor-made for this Batfleck/DC film universe as it would have been for Nolan. But there's still a lot of potential there for future films, main problem being that it's mostly centered on Harvey Dent's transformation into Two-Face.
Anyways without going too deep I was just wondering if anyone else read these and how you'd rank them on your list of Batman comics/graphic novels.

The Long Halloween is frakin awesome! Loeb/Sale also did great stories for Superman, Spider-man, Daredevil, and Capt. America if your just into that writing team. For Batman, I have not read those other two, but I'd like too. Hush is also great like you said, a lot like Long Halloween in that it's a giant story with nearly every villain involved. Other great Batman stories are the Frank Miller tales from Batman year one, and Dark Knight Returns. Both of which also have awesome animated movies. If your into the trippier tales, a lot of the more recent Grant Morrison tales were really good, the stuff around the death of Batman and his eventual return. Also, if your into Robin, Bill Willingham did a fantastic run on that series (same guy who wrote Fables).
