Ok the graphic novels I've read:
Watchmen (just amazing)
Homeland (Drizz' series)
The graphic novel was a better and shorter way for me to experience this series then reading the books.
Conan and the Frost Giants daughter (more interesting then I expected)
Magician's Apprentice (R. Feist)
A nice addition after having read the books as a teenager.
These I have and want to read soon:
Elric
Lankhmar
Ones on the list to purchase:
League of extraordinary gentlemen
Planetary Vol. 1 (Warren Ellis)
The Authority Vol. 1 (Warren Ellis)
Watchmen (just amazing)

I highly recommend "Planetary" and "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen".
If you love old Pulps there's a surprise on Planetary.

The old Batman graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller is sensationally good. A dark, cynical 200 pages long powerhouse of a novel. It has nothing in common with classic Batman comics.

I'm just starting to read DC Comics 'Watchmen.' On first glance it looks pretty good.

Thre are quie a few Batman Graphic novles on many best of lists, and the one you describe seems like one of the best. I heard a lot of good things about "Hush" to.

The nice thing about "Watchmen" is that the story is accessible to non Comic book readers because there is no requirement to know a back history of the characters.
I used to be a huge comic book reader but stopped about 10 years ago, now if i want to read something I'll pick up the graphic novel. It's cheaper too.
Bone is highly recommended for younger readers, my 9 year old loves it.
