I do recommend anyone interested in 'modern' Batman to watch the TV series Gotham, (currently on Netflix I think) which explores Gotham before Bruce Wayne became the Batman.
Whilst it is primarily the story of Bruce Wayne and Jim Gordon, it is also the story of The Penguin, and The Riddler, and many others. All intertwined. Some baddies that I had not come across before too - like The Mad Hatter.
Be warned that it is pretty gritty and gruesome in parts.
Having said that, I really need to re-visit Gotham, as I didn't get to finish season 4, and there are 5 in all. So I don't know where it finished.
