Mild-mannered reporters by day, Greg Phillips and Nick Duke share an intense love of comic books that has made them the Hard-Traveling Fanboys. And if there’s anything that fanboys love, it’s debating what book is better than another book or which character is “cooler.”

To recover from the drudgery of last week's Longbook Hunters, the boys are counting down their favorite stories about DC's caped crusader! Far removed from Zurr-en-Arrh, these are the books that define Bruce Wayne and his cast of supporting characters, representing a bevy of legendary creators such as Frank Miller, Scott Snyder, Jim Lee, Tim Sale and more!
