No worries. :)
I recommend The Killing Joke. First Batman I ever read. One shot so easy to read and get for first timers. Plus key events that affect the Bat-verse happen in it. It is short, well drawn and awesome. Hopefully open a gateway of comic books for you.
But I guess the lunatic shooting might have slightly ruined it.
Also if interested in animated DC universe films. I recommend Batman: Under the red hood. It's really pretty cool. Jensen Ackles voices a character in it. Also Neil Patrick Harris.
My favourite thing at the moment is this really cool animated tv show called Young Justice. If you're into animes and want to get into superheros more. I recommend that. Best of both worlds. My sister who really doesn't care that much for superheroes got really hooked to Young Justice. It is really well-written and badass. :)
Sorry for OTT rec list. Just enthusiastic.
I want a Justice League film. A good one!
I heard it is in works.
