Anyone pick up the new Batman: Black and White hardcover? Seems sort of expensive for a non-deluxe, but I'm tempted because those stories tend to be really fun.
Now that I've started to read through Geoff Johns' Green Lantern run I keep thinking we need a companion omni line for everything that's not connected in the main 3 omnibus. Is there any serious chance we could get something like this or at least something to collect the GLC run?

It’s the story you never thought you’d see! Dr. Manhattan, a near-omnipotent being from the Watchmen universe, has been using his powers to rewrite the DCU—reshaping some heroes’ histories, erasing other heroes altogether, and playing with the fates of the good and evil alike.
But what does a godlike being from another world stand to gain from the DC Universe? And now that our heroes know who’s been toying with their lives, can they stop him?
Collecting the full 12-issue miniseries in one oversize hardcover slipcase, this new edition also features dozens of pages of behind-the-scenes features, including never-before-seen sketches by Gary Frank.

I feel like Metal and Death Metal should each have an omnibus? Didn't they have a bunch of tie ins?
Absolute Doomsday Clock....I'd much prefer a deluxe. Hrm...
I'm waiting for a Metal omnibus - given that we just got Flashpoint for its tenth anniversary, I'm not holding my breath on seeing it soon. Which is frustrating because I think whatever Williamson is doing w/Infinite Frontier and the follow-ups will warrant a nice omni, but it'll be years and years if we have to wait for both Metal and Death Metal first . . .

Unless there’s a drastic change in how DC runs its collection department, the only hope I see in getting GLC collected (in full!) would be a compendium. Right now, we can’t even get DC to finish the main Geoff Johns GL series in trade, so I fear any chance of GLC getting done (which I would absolutely purchase) would need to be in a relatively cheap 2-volume compendium set.
