I think the american edition is the correct one, with the red and black cover with Superman holding Batman's corpse. The europian edition should have Darkseid on the cover.
This is the isbn: 9781401222819, but sometimes sellers list the european version with this isbn (I almost bought that version but I emailed the seller just to be sure, he checked the pagecount and I could cancel the order because it was around 240pages. An other seller was kind enough to send me a picture of the dustjacket so I could check it). If you search the isbn on amazon.com the page count will be 352 but on amazon.co.uk it will be only 240. Strange thing.
Also, Superman beyond was originally published in 3D with glasses but only the absolute has it in that format, the tpb and the hc is regular 2D printing.

My Justice League of America Omnibus Vol. 1 just arrived from books_any (amazon.co.uk marketplace). It was wrapped in bubble wrap (v. large bubbles) and in a cardboard box. On inspection, it seems in perfect nick. Now just waiting for UXM Omnibus Vol. 2 which was ordered at the same time.

My copy of Batman 4: Zero Year just showed up from Amazon. I wish for what DC priced a book like this at that it could look a tad bit better visually. I know they do a better job with the deluxe editions but their regular HCs are a bit junky. Feels like issue 0 should have been added, too.

I received Batman Noir today and it has a different cover then what I've seen in stores and online. I didn't know they made two for this book.
I got this one: BatmanNoir.jpg
I've only ever seen this cover for the book:

Chapters apparently has an awesome marketplace. I got off of the phone with them with questions about my Absolute Dark Knight order and they said if there's anything wrong with it or I don't want it I can take it to a Chapters store with the packing slip for a refund. This is a much easier system than dealing with sellers directly.
