Aside from Year One, I think other essentials are The Dark Knight Returns, Long Halloween, and Arkham Asylum. Hush is okay, if you like Jim Lee's style and are okay with it setting the ground for retconning (major retconning) of a deceased character.

There are some Elseworlds titles that are good too, such as Gotham By Gaslight and another one whose name I can't recall right now...in it, Bruce Wayne is a cop and the only 'Bat' people are Robin and Batgirl.


Edit: In looking for the title of that last one--which is called Thrillkiller--I came across this web page. It might be handy for you:

THE LONG HALLOWEEN is the best i got that one at my house right now

definitely the best and most acclaimed are year one and the dark knight returns. that is one of the best graphic novels ever, it has a fight between batman and superman that is just awesome, plus the new batmobile in it is really cool as well

I like Gothatm by Gaslight, where he goes after Jack the Ripper. There was also a good one where he went after Dracula, but I can't remember the title; I have it somewhere.

Killing Joke is a classic and I think there is a collection of Knightfall. Check you local comic collector's store. They might be able to find these oldies for you! good luck!

Everyone so far has named good graphic novels. I would recommend them all. The only one I haven't read is Gotham by Gaslight which seems to get a lot of praise.

Also look for Batman: Tales of the Demon which is a classic fight with Ra's al Ghul, and Batman: Gotham Noir. It focuses on James Gordon more than Batman who is portrayed more as a shadow or demon.
