DC Hardcover Collected Editions Part 3

[TomSlick]

OK, with all due respect to those talking about what they want in the Morrison Batman omnibus and how it should be collected, let's talk about the reality.

We'll probably get the Batman run, Batman and Robin, Return of Bruce Wayne and Batman Inc.

Is that what I'd like? No, but that's probably the reality of the situation. DC doesn't have a collections department and editor like Marvel does (and even they're not perfect) and I can't think of one time when DC has collected something as complicated as the Morrison Batman run.

Even IC (which I suspect DC would consider an ambitious collection) was pretty simple in that it was mostly tied in mini-series. With Batman, we're talking pages here and there and certain issues of of mini-series and synopsis pages, etc.

Sorry, I just don't see it happening.
