I'm really fricking moronic. I don't understand reading comics. How do I know which one of Batman Year One and Court of Owls is canon? What even is THE canon?

I'm really fricking retarded. I don't understand reading comics.
Also, what the frick is NEW 52? Do I have to start with Amazing Fantasy #1? How do I know if the thing I'm reading is Earth 22312938 or Earth 1293787129? Sorry if you could point me to a good comic book reading guide video or article, I would appreciate it.
Canon doesnt really exist or matter in superhero comics, just read what seems fun and interesting to you, ignore shit runs by garbage writers and make up your own head-canon.
Dude just read what seems interesting to you and go off from there, I started batman comics with fricking sword of Azrael and I went off from there and I still understand everything pretty well. The only reason I even read sword of azrael was because I thought azbat looked fricking awesome.
Yeah Batman's coolness is not really about what happened to him in what order. It's mostly about his parents murder and he became a crime fighter. using his families wealth to train himself and fight crime.He adopted Dick Grayson who became Robin and the Robin character appealed to kids which helped sell the comics.
Pretty much this, as long as you understand the core concept of the character you're fine
for now Batman Year One is canon. Next you can read Batman the Long Halloween. Afterwards if you are feeling lazy to read just watch the Batman 1966 TV series. Even though you will skip over a lot of story just read Batman Death in the Family. Then skip way ahead and read The Dark Knight Returns. Last of all watch the 1989 Batman movie and your essential Batman fanboy checklist is done and reading the remainder of comics is easier to pick and chose and many of the extras you can just ignore.
Not him, but what about my Spider-Man checklist?
Just read the Ditko run
First read Spiderman of steve Dikto (spiderman #01-21?) And then whatever you want.
Just remind always start in a #01
For Spider-Man Read a reprint of the Ditko run, watch the Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends Cartoon, then read the Death of Gwen Stacy storyline. After Gwens Death read The Wedding of Mary Jane and Peter Parker. from then on it's just all about finding Spider-Man work by Todd McFarlane and Eric Larson before the Toby Maguire movies reverted Peter Parker into a dorky college graduate ....everything else is just the Sony / MCU stuff
It doesn't matter anymore. There's no continuity autists like Gruenwald running around to correct mistakes. The only caveat is that writers tend to reference their own work.
comics you like are canon. comics you don't like aren't.
Reading batman off pirate sites is kind of helpful because pirate sites autistically arranged their upload order by date published. So i started at 1950s batman
that one is canon right there cant you read?
the DC in DC Comics stands for "disregard canon"
Yeah I'm glad to have Marvel, a company that cares about canon, which is why the first Avengers were assembled over a million years ago and the first Mutants built utopias billions of years ago, before the Celestials created the Eternals and Deviants and before humans even evolved, and also Phoenix is Thor's real mom, ignore any times being Gaea's kid had plot impact
This is a very common question
I'm gonna start with a simple thing
The canon is a piece of shit
If you want to know the "canon" of batman you should read thousands and thousands of comics just to see of they retcon something o reveal the "real" origin history of s certain clown
My suggestions:
1.Read what you want
2.Make you own head Canon
When I start reading Batman the first thing that i thing was "oh man this is so complicated and confuse" but then a very intelligent man say's to me"boy don't be stupid Batman can be read in any order" so they i think"hey, he's right!" So i start reading Batman New 52 #01 and I'm here now enjoying the history of this incredible character
Don't think in Earth's or continuities juts enjoy a good comic and start with #01( essential). New 52 or year one are good one's
Plus: if you feel lost you can always ask for things of the past, usually forums and the own comics explain what's happening
fictional canon should not be this complicate because it's fictional.
Batman is popular VERYYYY POPULAR
with almost 80 years of publications without a stop the canon turns into something very extended and difficult for new readers
At this point a great number of readers buy comics because it's a routine read the new adventures of the character
(Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Luffy, Goku, etc)
Should exists only for autists. If you want to lose your wizard status, you must engage with is.
Canon is the stupidest shit, who fricking cares have a nice day
Just buy Rippaverse.
It's new and doesn't have any of the bad writing or forced political bullshit DC comics have. GuRntee you Eric has a better idea for Batman comics then current Batman writers
Nobody is talking about current Batman. Stay in your shill threads.
>DC
>Canon
Choose one.
what about the nikon?
I'm more of kodak guy
