"Start the Batman" - Where to start as a newbie to Batman?

Dragonpol

I've been thinkng of delving into the Batman phenomenon - I've recently purchased the book The Golden Age of DC Comics as a starting point. I'm interested in the origins of Batman in the early DC comics - are these presented anywhere in new printings at all or are all of his adventures available today new stories? (It seems that way from the perusal of book shops). I'm thoinkng of buying The Killing Joke on the origins of The Joker, as well as other titles. I'm also particularly interested in Mr Freeze as a villain. I also have the Christian Bale Batman films on DVD - yet to watch them.

I'd love to hear some recommendations from die-hard Batman fans on where to start for a newcomer to the world of the Dark Knight.

P.S. Go easy on me - I'm new to Batman - very new.

@Dragonpol there are more than a few Bat-fans who should be able to answer your questions here:

The Dark Knight Trilogy is a very good watch, I will say.

Batman and Robin.

Watch the Christopher Nolan Trilogy first...

I'd say the nolan trilogy the animated series Mask of the phantasm and Under the red hood should be everything you need

Sorry, @Dragonpol, please don't take this the wrong way but we have a few Batman threads already, this one being the most obvious place to post your question.
