Dear all,
I won't list here every single Batman comic but books (dictionaries, encyclopedias, ...) that would enable us to know more about our favorite hero.
So, let's start :
- Michael L. Fleisher, The Original Encyclopedia of Comics Book Heroes, Vol 1 (Batman), DC Comics, 2007 - Scott Beatty, Batman: The Ultimate Guide to the Dark Knight, DK, 2001.
Feel free to list more of them (I have many in French and need to find their English references)

I have finally bought : Paul Levitz, 75 Years of DC Comics, Taschen, 2010 (thanks Santa). This book is amazing and really gorgeous. Its size is perfect to enjoy the drawings and the comments are numerous. Great collector's item.

The Batcave Companion is pretty good. but it only has stuff up to mid-70s. its similiar to the Batman Encyclopedia of Comic Heroes. if you liked that one, you'll like the companion.
