So Chuck Dixon wrote the entire Batman Cataclysm cross-over? Wow. He was always a very prolific writer, and having one writer on a cross-over should prevent continuity mix-ups. Side note for all Dixon fans. If you haven't picked up his Airboy collections from IDW you really should. These are great, action-packed comics, with some great art by Stan Woch.
Can someone please tell me whether the Batman Black Glove Deluxe and RIP Deluxe hardcovers have SEWN or GlUED binding? Thanks a lot. Also, all Absolutes are sewn, correct?
A few people have answered, but I'll give it a shot as well.
In your example, 32 = Centimeters and .5 = Millimeters, thus 32.5. On your measuring tape it would show a Centimeter with smaller denominations marked within it, which would be your Millimeters. BUT once you reach 100 Centimeters you'll equal that to a Meter.
For us if we say 7 3/4" it'll be 7 = Inches and 3/4 = 75% of an inch or .75 on an inch. It becomes more complicated because our small denominations don't have proper names like your Millimeter does. On our measuring tapes, it would show Inches with smaller denominations marked within that as 1/16 increments. If you can round it up we do. So 7 2/16" = 7 1/8" or 7 4/16" = 7 1/4" or 7 8/16" = 7 1/2". BUT once you reach 12 Inches it equals 1 Foot And if you reach 3 Feet it equals 1 Yard. I know, it's overly complicated compared to the Metric system. It's also important to note the ' vs ". ' means we're measuring in Feet and " means we're measuring in Inches.
I feel bad because we've gone WAY off-topic.
Dc deluxes are all glued. Absolutes are combination sewn/glued.
Which bizarro Canada do you live in where people are taught that form of crazy? Surely not the one I'm living in. Everyone I know here in Ontario would type that number 1,967,428.25. The way you marked it doesn't even make sense since there is no way to tell if you are referring to different numbers as a set, or as one whole number. The accountant in me just cringes at anyone thinking that it is remotely acceptable to type a number that way.
Whew, I was starting to wonder if I had somehow entered a strange alternate dimension Canada-land.

I'm mostly a DC animated fan since I never got into the comics side of it. My Top 3 (I know it's sad I can't come up with 5) most wanted series in Omnibus format.
Technically all Vertigo titles.
1) Hellblazer
2) Astro City
3) Ex Machina
It's not sad. I think the DCAU is the best possible version of the DCU (my love for Batman mostly comes from the animated universe, not from the comics). A recommendation if you don't mind: If you are a fan of JLU I think you should try Morrison's JLA run. I found a lot of similarities.
My list :
1. Gotham Central
2. Spectre by Ostrander
3. Swamp Thing by Moore
4. Green Arrow by Grell
5. JL by Giffen and DeMatteis
Runner ups:
Suicide squad and Hawkworld by Ostrander
Secret Six by Simone
JLA by Morrison
Question by Denny O'Neil
Aquaman by Johns
Batman by Rucka
Batman by Brubaker
And a whole lot more
