Personally I doubt the short Hama or Ostrander runs will get collected so I am hoping they do some complete collections between Troika to Contagion (#516-#528 which could be a single 12 issue TPB ) and Legacy to Cataclysm (#535-#552 which could be a single 18 issue TPB like "The Flash: Savage Velocity") - the majority of these issues were in the now OOP Batman By Doug Moench & Kelley Jones vol 1 & 2 but hopefully they can collect them again and this time include #520 & #526 as well

Of course they could also possibly decide to Omnibus Batman & Detective Comics from Batman #401 to #483, Detective Comics #568-#653 and Sword of Azrael #1 to #4

I'm hoping that once the DKD volumes reach Knightfall they decide to then collect Chuck Dixon's run from #683-#694 set between Troika & Contagion (especially since they already did a hardcover collection of his later Detective Comics run last year) and issues #776-#789 between Bruce Wayne: Fugitive & War Games (featuring writing by Bolles/Gagne, Brubaker, Rucka & Brian K Vaughn)

Of course as previously mentioned once they reach Knightfall they could also possibly decide to omnibus Batman & Detective Comics from Batman #401 to #483, Detective Comics #568-#653 and Sword of Azrael #1 to #4

Wow, thanks for the comprehensive posts!

[bob.schoonover]

Yeah, that's really nice work.

It's utterly insane to me that both Ed Brubaker and Denny O'Neil have uncollected Batman work. At least in O'Neil's case it was a two-parter during a transition period on the book. Brubaker's Dead Reckoning is a really good story and it's not like DC wouldn't make money putting out another Batman by Brubaker book . . .

Wow thanks for that so much

Agreed, I would have much rather they did that as a Brubaker collection than what we got in Batman by Brubaker volume 2 (99% the same contents as the Murderer/Fugitive TPB's except for Batman #598!)

What's everyone's thoughts on the Road To No Man's Land and No Man's Land Omni's? Are they done right, any missing content or errors that I should know? If this has been discussed please link me, thank you.

I asking the same question I guess, is Batman #553 included in the Road Omni or is there a misprint?

One thing the NML omnibus has that wasnt in any previous collection is the Harley Quinn (1999) one shot - no idea why DC didnt include this in the modern TPBs!

[ShooCat]

I see this hasn't been mentioned here yet.

Due in January.

Woo!! I've been waiting for this

[ER Prest]

Have contents been listed yet?

[bob.schoonover]

Have contents been listed yet?

l haven't found a listing yet, but including *everything* (Dark Days, Dark Nights, The Resistance, all the one shots) should only run 900 pages - not sure if it'll they'll keep it lean or include any other stuff, but it better include at least all of those pieces

[Judge Dredd]

Where did you find the image from did a quick google search and do not see anything about it outside of people wanting an omnibus. Looking forward to it and good sign Death Metal will also get an omnibus. I wonder if DC will ever do just an event omnibus Crisis on Infinite Earths, Zero Hour, Infinite Crisis, Final Crisis, Flashpoint, Rebirth Special, Metal, Death Metal, and the upcoming Dark Crisis.

[Nick Miller]

Never mind.
