Can you name some of the best Denny O'Neil Batman stories?
Sure. 'Batman: Year One' is one of the top ones. It gives a very detailed look at how Bruce Wayne started his journey as Batman in a very realistic Gotham. Another good one is 'The Dark Knight Returns'. It shows an older Batman coming out of retirement to save a Gotham that has gone to the dogs.
Yes. 'The Joker's Five - Way Revenge' is a great story. It has a lot of the classic Batman - Joker dynamic. And 'Batman: Son of the Demon' is also really good. It has some cool storylines involving Ra's al Ghul and Batman's relationship with him. Also, 'Nightwing: Year One' is a great story that Denny O'Neil had a hand in, showing Dick Grayson's new path as Nightwing.
I'd say 'The Dark Knight Returns' for its bold reimagining of Batman. It was different from the typical Batman stories at that time. 'Batman: Year One' as it was a very grounded origin story. And 'Batman and the Outsiders' which was an interesting concept of Batman leading a group of misfits and using their unique skills to fight crime.
