I hope that was on the foreword.

You just need to understand that one of the goals of the run was to show that everything ever published, especially the crazy ideas from when the comics were going bonkers in the 50's and 60's, really happened to the current Batman.
You can just Google anything that seems to stick out and find a crazy old comic.

edit: It even went as far as canonising the Japan-only Batman manga. You can buy that, but I doubt he's expecting anyone to go do the homework for a bit of fun.

This has quite a good piece about it at the bottom. The rest you might want to skip for slight spoilers, but it sells the run pretty well.

RIP was your favourite part?

especially on this forum.

I'd be shocked. The start of BnR would definitely be it. After that, I'm guessing the lighter adventures in Inc vol.1, then everything up till RIP (edit: minus the prose issue, of course.)

I don't think many people are fans of Tony Daniel or that Joker.

Just like All-Star Superman, everyone knows the original All-Star Batman is the quintessential work.

The second omni will probably have ROBW sprinkled in with BnR all the right places, which would be a huge plus.

Read The Signal #1. When did Duke develop a power? Was that in the All-Star Batman backups?

With 70+ years of stuff, even the current 'Batman' writer has a playful attitude as to what's REAL.
Bruce and his current fiancée disagree on how they met. One thinks it's the 1940's version and one thinks Year One (80's retcon)

Don't buy the initial Metal hardcover, I guess.

A Year Two collection came out a couple of months ago.

Pardon the crosspost from the DC thread, but I'm way into the suit Batman's got in today's Doomsday Clock.



Already a fan of the Incorporated/Earth One style raised emblem and the bat extending to the edges is even better (imo.)
Apparently it's in near future continuity, so could be the look for the regular comics soon.

edit: Yup.
