    I really wish DC would stop with these 'anniversary' omnibuses. It just ruins an otherwise great cover.

    Just started reading Batman Rebirth deluxe hc...is the black guy who gets the yellow costume in the first issue a completely new character? Or was he introduced previously? It's a little jarring reading this complete unknown all of a sudden be in the batcave and know Batman's identity etc.

    That's Duke Thomas, he was introduced in the Snyder run originally as a normal kid who helps Batman during the Zero Year story. Later he becomes a member of the We Are Robin movement before graduating to a new identity of "The Signal"

    How’s the binding on the new edition of the New Teen Titans Omnibus?

    Great. DC has pretty much fixed their binding problems. Even the new Infinite Crisis and gigantic Final Crisis can stay open without much gutterloss.

    I have a question about the Grant Morrison Batman omnibus. How much of 52 is included? Couple of panels, pages, or whole issues? Are the panels of Wonder Woman meeting some big head of light in a tempel included? I seem to remember such panels from 52 (some time since I read it) inbetween those of Bruce coming out of a cave, saying he's cured.

    Also. Is it a heavy book?

    It's not light, but it's not as heavy as the Knightfall omnibii

    11 pages of 52 #30, 4 pages of 52 #47. Diana chatting with Tim is included, her getting wisdom from the big head of light is not. Last page of 47 that's included is Bruce exiting the cave

    Thanks for replying. Sounds like it's a well put together book!

    It is. The recap pages for Final Crisis and Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul are well done, too.

    Is this worth getting? Maybe for the groovy cover alone?

    Just an FYI for those interested, I looked at Golden Age Wonder Woman omnibus 3 at my LCS today. It was sealed in shrink wrap but according to the back cover it contains:

    Sensation Comics 49-69
    Comic Cavalcade 14-22
    Wonder Woman 16-25

    Tore through the Loeb/Sale Batman omnibus. I'd read Long Halloween a while ago, same with Dark Victory, but never read the Haunted Knight/When in Rome stuff. But damn, I forgot how great Long Halloween was. Like, it holds up. Dark Victory was pretty good too - starts to lose it a little towards the end. But overall, these guys were on point back then.

    Kinda hope we get a Wagner hardcover with Mad Monk and Monster Men now.

    Also, for the Batman aficionados, one of the recurring elements win LH/DV was the Bruce/Selina relationship vs the Bat/Cat relationship - but they don't know each other's secret. Is there modern(ish) story where they do unmask each other for the first time?
