[QUOTE=Dark Knight1047;1510456]Are you sure it includes #40? Because Amazon says it only includes up to #39[/QUOTE]
Yes, I am sure. As I said, I have the book, that is where I am getting the information. Though 40 has no backup as originally published, I edited my post accordingly.
Here are pictures of the back cover stating it includes #40 plus the issue itself as well:

That stinks. I just cracked open my Batman Endgame HC last night. Wish I would have waited. I thought the solicitation was odd not having the last part but whatever . . .
-
Suuuch bs. My copy is comming today and I picked up vol 7 aalready. Dc has never done this with their other tie ins books. Soooooo pissed off. Might of as well thrown the money I spent on vol 7 in the trash. Dc really needs to get their solcitations down.
Im sure a call or complaint to Dc would Dp nothing :(
Could of used that money for a diffrent hc.

Agreed, the lack of reliable solicitation text is a constant frustration. I'm glad they decided to go this route and have the option of everything or just Snyder/Capullo, but they really botched the job of letting people know this was the case. Would love to be able to buy DC books feeling confident that I know what will actually be included, instead of the usual game of chance and crossed fingers.

Cool, thanks for letting me know. Now I know which one to get. I had a feeling that Amazon's solit was incorrect, so I waited to order.

This is why I waited. I had a feeling something wasn't right and wanted to make sure. Like you said, it is bs what DC did.

Although im curious if Dick grayson is correct. In the pic of his dj it says "from the pages of 35-40" which would indicate to me not the full issues. If it is the full why would they say that? Also the page count dosnt match up unless the solicitation was wrong on that too.
Guess ill be finding out in 1-4 hours when fed ex drops mine off. Ill update then

Random question, am I the only person who would buy a Zero Hour omnibus, featuring the event plus all the tie ins (It'd be about 40 issues, but they could include the Green Lantern stuff with Hal going mad as a prologue to beef up the page count and present a full story)?
I bought the Zero Hour tpb recently and although I know it has haters, I really liked the story still

Actually, I'd buy one. I recall some of the "zero" issues were pretty good. I enjoyed the limited series at the time, but I don't have any idea if it will stand the test of time. Regardless, I'd buy it.

Holy crap guys, I'm holding the freaking book. Yes, they are the complete issues. Do I need to take photos of every page?
Also, yes the solicitation was wrong. I can't believe that is so inconceivable to you given that they didn't even list the correct contents either.
As for why it says "from the pages of", the content is from the pages of all the issues it subsequently lists. Also, it literally says right before that "...collects The Joker's ENTIRE game..."

whoa. Sorry I didn't say anything offensive was just hoping you were wrong.
Just shocked.
So about how many pages is there?

Surely you can understand how it must be frustrating to come on this board, report what some would find helpful information, only to have someone say "I think that's wrong. But I'm getting the book so I'll let you guys know when I do" even after posting photos and everything. I understand it's surprising on DC's part, but I don't know what else I could do to prove that this book has what it has. At least my copy, maybe I got a special one :)
Here are the page counts from the issues in the HC:
Main story from Batman 35: 23 pages
Main story from Batman 36: 22 pages
Main story from Batman 37: 22 pages
Main story from Batman 38: 22 pages
Main story from Batman 39: 20 pages
Main story from Batman 40: 26 pages
But I will admit, I did not take out and compare page by page with the floppies for every issue. I did count the pages in the floppies that weren't 22 pages in the HC (Batman 35, 39, and 40) and they have the same page count in the floppies as in the HC.

It's all good- sorry I got defensive. It's pretty funny we're all so surprised that it's nearly impossible to believe they put the complete issues in there. I'm considering actually going page by page at this point to be absolutely positive.

Lol! I know. I really feel like dc should refund my money on vol 7 since they got the solcitations wrong.
The page count is what is confusing me the most. The solicitation on vol 7 is 176p if I remember off top of my head. Then the endgame page count is 312. Seems to me it would've higher than that. Although I now am hesitant to trust any Dc solcitation.
