Gives a good list of trades for post-Crisis Batman in what should be a sort of reading order - there's a couple of things that need inserted (like Batman and the Monster Men and Batman and the Mad Monk, which slot in after Year One).

The only DC crossover that I can think of having a "must read" impact on Batman would be Final Crisis. As you can see from the above list though, Batman is big on doing X-Men style crossovers among the "Bat Family" titles.

I've not touched pre-Crisis Batman, so I can't speak for it at all. Anything before Batman #404 and Detective Comics #575 (1987-ish) is the pre-Crisis On Infinite Earths Batman. Although Detective Comics #575 features starts a story arc that despite being post-Crisis, may no longer in continuity.
