The Finest Batman Reprints Yet By David Swan The Batman Omnibus are the third attempt by DC to reprint the complete collection of Golden Age Batman stories. The first was the hardcover Archive editions which split the series between the Batman Archives reprinting stories from Detective Comics and The Dark Knight Archives which reprinted stories from Batman Comics. The second attempt was the much cheaper Chronicles series. Chronicles handled things differently combining all the Batman stories together including stories from World's Finest.The Omnibus series combines the best of both series. The books are hardcover but feature ALL the Batman stories rather than splitting them up. The pages are of considerably higher quality than the cheaply produced Chronicles and the books are larger than either the Archives or Chronicles both in physical size and content. The Archives and Chronicles have images that are about 8 by 6 while the Omnibus is slightly larger at around 9 by 6.5.To compare the volume of content, Batman Archives volume 1 reprinted Detective Comics issues #27-50 and The Dark Knight Archives contained issues #1-4. Batman: The World's Finest Archive reprinted all the way up to issue #16. This first Omnibus volume reprints Detective Comics #27-56, Batman Comics #1-7, New York World's Fair Comics #2, World's Best Comics #1 and World's Finest Comics #2-3. You get more than three Archive editions worth of content. You get almost exactly the content of the first four volumes of the Batman Chronicles series.From a cost standpoint, at the current price of around $44 this is a way better deal than the Archives or Chronicles series especially since many of the Batman Chronicles are now selling for well above retail price. I also think this is a more attractive book than the other two series. At well over 800 pages this is a hefty tomb but it appears to be solidly put together.Whether or not you like the content is all a matter of taste. This is Golden Age material and the stories and art are from the dawn of superhero comics. The characters tend to be very flat and the stories fairly unremarkable but it's fascinating to read the very humble beginnings of a character that survives and thrives over 75 years later. After the Superman Golden Age Omnibus was released I began to worry that it was just a one and done despite the fact that it was printed as volume one because several years went by with no volume two however the second Superman volume is finally slated to be released in June 2016 (3 full years later) so it does appear DC is going to continue releasing the Golden Age Omnibus volumes even if it's at a snails pace.Addendum: The Golden Age Batman Omnibus volume 2 is now slated to be released August 30th, 2016 and the Silver Age World's Finest Omnibus is supposedly coming out in May 2016. Cool Cool.

The best collection of early Batman By Andersonh1 The book itself is excellent, though both my original copy and the replacement have a problem with wavy pages. I'm not sure if it's the paper it was printed on, or if the book was exposed to too much heat or what. In any case, the omnibus format is the idea way to collect these old Batman stories. The book is larger than the typical collected edition from DC, with over 800 pages of early Batman. That amounts to about two and a half years of stories, from every comic book that Batman appeared in at the time, all in chronological order so it's easy to watch the character and his world develop over time. The art and writing are a little unsophisticated, but that's typical for the era. This volume is far superior to the Chronicles series, which used lower quality paper. The art and colors really pop on the low gloss paper used in the printing of this book.

The Earliest Tales in the Saga of an Iconic Comic Book Hero By internech Fantastic to see the evolution of Batman from his first appearance in Detective Comics 27 (only 6 pages) to his leading role. The early stories always refer to him as THE Batman, with the spelling of the name varying from Bat-Man, Bat Man and finally, Batman as he's commonly known today. Early stories showed the pulp influence (with vampires and King Kong-like giants as well as the sinister Asian Fu Manchu villains. The covers imitated the pulps, too. Evil characters are always emerging from shadows, brandishing daggers and machine guns. Lots of violence in the stories too, in the style of the Spider pulp magazines, with Batman often killing the bad guys, usually in self-defense; however, he crosses the line in Batman # 1 by actually machine gunning a fleeing truck of crooks as he states, "Much as I hate to take human life, I'm afraid this time it's necessary." That never happened again. In fact, even the Joker, who had two stories in Batman comics Number 1, stopped shooting cops, rival bad men, and employing the Joker venom, which left its victims with a rictus death grin. Batman 1 also had one of the last solo Batman stories, originally intended for Detective Comics 38 but bumped when Robin debuted in that issue.Interestingly, Batman didn't appear on consecutive covers of Detective Comics for almost a year after his debut. It took almost twice as long for Superman to become the cover star of Action Comics, but it seems odd in retrospect that the editors of Detective Comics didn't spot Batman's appeal even sooner.Robin was the first kid sidekick and inspired a slew of boy assistants, including Bucky, Speedy, Toro, Sandy and dozens more. Bruce Wayne has several girlfriends in the early stories, and even seems to have a thing for the Cat, (later, Cat-Woman), directly in odds to Dr. Wertham's speculation 14 years later that the relationship between Batman and Robin was "the wish dream of two homosexuals living together."That assumption, plus a backlash against any violence in comics in the 1950s, led to the creation of the original Batwoman, Batgirl and a decade of Batman stories featuring Bat-Mite (an elf who dressed like Batman), Bat Hound, and myriad tales of space aliens and fantastic foes. There was even a Bat Ape and an obese circus performer in a story called "Batman Meets Fatman." Batman himself changed shape on occasion, becoming a giant or other nonsensical form. Criminals stopped carrying guns on Batman covers, and talking balloons accompanied static images to water down physical action. "Great Scott! That prehistoric caveman and saber-tooth tiger have come back to life and are too much for Batman!"But that embarrassing period in the 75 year history of the character is, thankfully,long gone. Batman has returned to the Dark Knight origins that defined his original success and is reflected in this massive , large-sized, full-color and highly affordable collection.
