Suggestions for current Bat-titles?

Hey all,

Been on a bit of a Batman kick recently and am thinking about jumping on with some New 52 titles, starting with the trades and maybe switching into monthly issues.

The main title is a given, even though I'm not a huge fan of what I've heard about Snyder's run.

But beyond that, I'd like a spin-off or two as well. I'm thinking about getting the first volume of Detective Comics, even though I'm aware the writing is terrible, just because it seems like an important bit to have. Not planning on going past that, though.

I was really thinking about starting Batwoman, but I read the first issue on Comixology and was really disappointed, aside from the art. I like the idea of a non-sexualized female superhero lead, as well as a spin-off that doesn't get heavily involved with the main comic. But does it get better, or is #1 basically par for the course?

Thought about doing Batman and Robin as well, as I read the first issue of Volume 2 and thought it was a lot of fun. Is it a good read? Do I need to have kept up with Morrison's run to get everything out of it?

Any other/alternate recommendations? Hell, are Talon or Batwing worthwhile? I can dig comic-book superheroics (obviously), but my non-visual reading material is mostly "literary" novels and short stories, to give you an idea. So if there's a current line that can have some fun with itself but still be well-written, that'd be awesome.
