I can hear the voice actors, sound effects, and orchestra in my head just looking at these pages. This version of Batman is very near and dear to my heart.

Got it early on Monday and could not put it down since! I started to rewatch the animated series episodes in between reading it and playing the ost on the background when reading. It truly feels like a continuation of the series! Great way to keep Kevin Conroy, Arleen Sorkin and other voice cast members who have passed away alive by revisiting these stories.❤

That was my first introduction to Batman, Robin, Batgirl, etc. I'm hoping the pre-order and re-order numbers are good enough for DC to print the other Batman comics in omnibus format.

Been looking forward to this one for 3 decades now! I did also want to mention that writer Michael Reaves (TMNT, Real Ghostbusters, Gargoyles) also passed away earlier this year. In addition to his novels, live action work and writing for Batman TAS, he also came up with the story for issue 21 of Batman Adventures and co-write on Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, such as the scene were Bruce pleads with his parents at their grave site that when he made the promise to avenge them at Batman, he didn't count on ever being happy.

Hope they make an omnibus of "Superman adventures"

This one goes straight to my 'Top 5 omni' list. And to my shelf, of course.

So this looks amazing especially because of the layout always having the front cover on right hand side so you feel like your actually reading the actual comics. I wish all omnibus and masterworks editions followed this layout format.

That is ONE AWESOME omnibus!!! Thanks you very much, Omar!!! A must-have!!!

This will go well with my X-Men Adaptations omnibus. Great nostalgia, art, and stories in these collections! Mad Love and Mask of The Phantasm are worth it alone!

My copy is on the way in the mail now. I've never read this but am a huge fan of Batman: The Animated Series. I cannot wait to read this. It's gonna be a fun Batman Day come the 16th.

I recall having a few of these singles when I was a kid. I never had an original issue 12 though. Missed that one lol. I'm going to have to get this to have more of some of the best Batman stories. Something for my son to read also! Gotta pass these things on so every generation can know how amazing this is!

I collected this run as it was coming out. At least the issues I could afford as a broke elementary age child buying comics with my lunch money lol. I remember being amazed that this was running alongside the cartoon and the main comics. I was trying to save some money because I have the trades but as soon as you opened that beautiful book and flipped through a few pages, I just had to go ahead and order a copy. How can I love Batman and not double dip.

I really wish DC would put out a deluxe edition of that Justice Society mini. It's fantastic.

I bought and still have and reread all of the comics collected in this edition. It is without doubt one of the best Batman books ever put out by DC and is somehow a tribute and a love letter to every era of the character from the noir crime early days to the modern Dark Knight. It has impeccable script clarity and clear, linear visual storytelling. In short, it is good old fashioned comic books. I would recommend this to anyone who hasn't read these before. Buy it and fall in love with the character all over again. An absolute classic series.

@@Yoko.Kurama Mostly tightly plotted, single issue stories with occasional two parters that managed to hit all the right notes of characterisation and drama in the same way comics did when they were new and exciting, before companies realised they could sell multiple issue arcs that stretched stories out to absurd lengths to resell afterwards as trade paperbacks. Every issue was satisfying and usually compelling and pretty much definitive Batman stories with all the visual impact of the animated series it was based on. These were comic books in their purest and most satisfying form.....

I'm not a Batman fan, but I just had to get this. I knew Mike Parobeck (what an awesome guy who appreciated his fans) and loved his work so absolutely needed this in my collection. Even working on a custom omni of his work to include some letters he wrote me on copies of his pencils. He is greatly missed!

Love the art in this one - a refreshing change from many other Omnis. You have convinced me and I have ordered this one. Your enthusiasm is contagious!

My copy is en route. I hope they keep going and collect the mini series and the Gotham adventures run. They NEED to have a Superman adventures omnibus.

Love this collection. Not trying to rush but I am really looking forward to the Superman For All Seasons overview!

One of the Omnibus I've been eager to get all year.

Great review. I can't wait to read these in omni format. I hope DC does the other animated-based comics as omnis or compendiums.

I got this and Xmen immediately when they went up for pre-order. Honestly I hope I can get all the animated series from the 90s/00s as an omnibus.

Looks fantastic, a definite purchase.

I would love more omnibus covering all of the dcau comics

I had a book that collected like the first volume of issues. I recognize those first several issues you were flipping through. Might have to pick this one up.

I did a video about The Batman Adventures, calling it the best Batman comics series ever. The fact that it's the most popular comics video on my channel from last year just feels sooo right. Still stand by that statement and I'm incredibly grateful that we got this omnibus. Best comic release of the year, by far!

I grew up with the Justice League animated series. So,my ultimate crush was Wonder Woman. Not Barbara or Harley lol. Also,this omni is tempting. I LOVE the show. So yeah.

I'm tempted but will wait to see how the price falls. One thing that DC did right with their cartoon and create new stories in the style of the programme, unlike marvel who ould only think of doing adaptations with so so art.

RIP Arleen sorkin passed away 😢❤

The best part will be hearing the HolyCowAmazingVoiceTalent!!! In my head while I read this tome....can't wait!

I thought Batman: Sub Zero was collected in it, but Mask of The Phantasm was the right story. Just like sitting home and watching the series in the 90's.

9:05 - WHOA WHOA WHOA, for a second I thought this comic had a crossover with the House of Mystery. I mean those two look exactly like Cain and Abel!

Writers need to have the characters change somewhat in order to tell more exciting stories. Writing them the same way for decades makes them stagnant buddy. Like it or not the writers at DC and Marvel are great. You have to reinvent characters put them in new situations. As long as you keep the core of the characters. Tom King is great at that.

@@akkakkakekkn "characters have intrinsic traits that should be the same but characters should be allowed to change and evolve with times" it's something i can agree with but as you said there should be some intrinsic traits, a core that remains the same during time, Tom King operates what can best be described as character assassination from Wally West to Martian Manhunter or Riddler. Let's try for example Riddler shall we? Riddler is a Batman's villain created by Bill Finger himself, when the character was created he was a crook that used riddles and games during his robberies but the fact is that these riddles where not some sort of call card or something like that, they were a sign of his own compulsion, he needs that people know that he, the Riddler, committed the crime...pretty deep stuff for a character born in the Golden Age. Now a great writer what would do with a character like that? He would expand on the aspects that made this character unique and would stay true to the character (if the character is good like in this case): Chuck Dixon is this type of writer. He expanded on the character of the Riddler as no one else, writing stories like the 3 parts of lethal pursuits and questions multiply the mistery, Edward became the Riddler because he lacked attention when he grew up, he wasn't beaten by his father or his mother died or something like that, they simply didn't care too much for him, in school he wanted to be special, to be noticed but even there with the bullies and such he had to remain in the shadow, he forced himself to remain a nameless nobody in order to not be bullied, then riddles arrived, a simple puzzle became the chance for Edward to become famous and he did, cheating, because he craves attention so desperately that he has no bound and, in order to complete the puzzle before the others, sneaks in the school during the night, goes to the teacher's desk where the puzzle is kept and completes it over and over again until he can complete it in something like 5 minutes, he obtains what he wanted and the next day he becomes famous in front of the class and even if this will led to him being bullied the sensation he feels is so much better but he grows up being a nobody and, after some time he snaps and becomes the Riddler. Chuck Dixon perfectly understood the character and wrote stories that respected the original material as well making the character even better. Tom King doesn't do that, he doesn't mantain any intrinsic traits in these characters except the purely superficial ones, in Killing Time, Riddler One Bad Day and the War of Jokes and Riddles he wrote Edward as a psycopath that loves to torture people and even has a series of registers to keep track of all people he wants to torture, he doesn't need to use riddles because for him they're just a gimmick and kills people without problem...where are his "intrinsic traits" buddy? He is a completely different character, riddles are not a gimmick, that's the whole reason he is sent to Arkham because he has a COMPULSION to use riddles, he is not brutal and doesn't like torture that's something Joker would do and that's the key problem: Tom King writes Riddler as a discount version of Joker. So no buddy, Tom King is not a good writer he is a pretentious writer that lives so much in Alan Moore's shadow even in his own head that the Riddler in Riddler One Bad Day literally says that the Killing Joke was his plan and not Joker's, i've not insulted Omar, i've literally agreed with something he said. You think Tom King or any other writer at Marvel or DC is good? Fine by me but don't pretend that Tom King respects the source material he's been given

Has Dixon been nominated for a freaking hugo award. Also a lot of what you hated about Tom King's work was editorially mandated. He didn't even want to use wally west in heroes in crisis. Maybe you should blame the editors instead. Also Riddler has been a killer for some time. Just because you don't like an interpretation of a character doesn't mean it wasn't good. So you don't like what Scott Snyder did to Riddler in Zero year or what Geoff Johns did to him in Batman Earth One. King is just following the interpretation of the riddler that was laid in foundation for the new 52 going into rebirth. You agree with Omar. That's fantastic.
