Batman:
Year One Batman and the Monster Men Batman and the Mad Monk The Man Who Laughs The Killing Joke The Long Halloween Dark Victory (sequel to Halloween) Hush Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth The Dark Knight Returns (simply a MUST READ) All Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder (don't take it too seriously and it's fun)
Superman:
Birthright Godfall All Star Superman Superman for all Seasons Red Son
Those should get you started.

The first four Batman novels are in chronological order, by the way.

Batman: Year One Long Halloween Dark Victory Gothic Dark Knight Returns Hush Black and White
Superman: Brainiac Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?
Green Lantern: Rebirth Sinestro Corps War Hard-Traveling Heroes and Secret Origins, the most recent arc, is being released in hardcover form this Friday. If you're not too familiar with GL, that might be a good starting point for you as the retcon works in the Blackest Night stuff.

Also, reading Grant Morrison's current run on Batman wouldn't be a bad idea. You may be confused at first, not knowing anything about Batman, but issues 682 and 683 are excellent for new readers, because it gives a quick run down of the silver and golden ages of Batman and his history.
