I've recently gotten into comic books and I'm interested in reading the Batman comics. I have no idea where to start. I've seen all of the live action Batman movies so I pretty much know origin stories already. 

I'm not interested in Catwoman or Harley Quin, they annoy me. 

I love the Riddler and Dr Crane though, and of course the Joker. What are some good recommendations for the comic book beginner in this series?
