Best Omnibus overviews out there.
Many thanks!! Appreciate it!!
For sure
Dont sell yourself short gem.
You all probably dont give a shit but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost my account password. I would love any help you can give me!
@Will Giovanni instablaster =)
Grant Morrison's Batman run not only got me back into Batman, but back into comics in general.
i cannot say enough good things about it.
i've read Grant's complete Batman run dozens and dozens of times, and will read it countless times more!
great review btw!
Myconius Maximus I couldn’t agree more. I am now scripting my 10th anniversary Final Crisis Omnibus Video portion where I try to explain it as simple as possible but it’s extremely hard to summarize. The reason is because there is so much depth and complexity to his work where Morrison pulls the reader back in countless times... Truly can’t wait to see how Green Lantern plays out.
i just subscribed! i cannot wait to see your review on the Final Crisis omnibus!
i've read FC a few times, but i'm sure there's some details i've missed.
that's the beauty of Grant's writing. it's very rich and multi-layered.
you pick up on so many things that were overlooked in previous reads,
but there's still enough to thoroughly enjoy the story. i cannot say exactly how many times i've read Grant's Batman. i have the singles, the HCs, the TPBs and now this Omni and i can never get enough!!
YES! i'm very excited to add Grant's Green Lantern to my pull-list!
@@myconiusmaximus1022 can you just get the 3 omnibus to read Morrison’s run or do you need some tpb’s to supplement? Or do you think it’s easier to just get the trades
My absolute most favorite Batman run of all time
This part of the run is frustrating much of the time, but by the time you finish B&R and B:I, it all comes together into something amazing. Readers just need the patience to deal with some of the more obtuse things upfront.
I wasnt sure about this book but after this detailed video i will be getting this book asap great job again
Many thanks!!! I’m glad to have helped.
Great review! Real dissapointing though that the Omnibus doesn’t collect the entire Resurrection of Ra’s al Ghul stories and just Morrison’s parts, also would recomend reading Batman the Black casebook before this which is a small collection of stories from the 50s and 60s that Morrison reaserched to set up his run.
Great point! Forgot to mention the Black Casebook!!
Is it necessary?
It helps you understand what’s going on in Morrison’s run and makes it more complete.
don't forget birth of the demon
If it had the Black Casebook included I would have gotten this without a doubt. But as it is I think I will stick with my Deluxe editions. Its so tempting though.
Best Batman run of all time.
Wow! A lot of Grant Morrison love here... I thought I was alone or in the tiny minority.
Easily.
El Flaco what do you think about The Batman omnibus by Jeph Loeb??
@@karelwok3314 great run
Can't get enough Morrison. Another great review and yet another Morrison book I have but haven't read. Gonna take me a while to get through my daredevil run of omnis, then into wolverine for a month or two then gonna see about reading this, final crisis omni and maybe the Geoff Johns run of Green Lantern. So many books such little time...............
Amazing video with great production value and insight like usual.
Cheers!!
This is a nice hard back but I have many of these single issues from my hunts at Half Price Books! There are some trades and hard backs that I plan to buy of certain stories but I usually don’t buy ominibus books! They do save space and you can binge read with them! Great video! Thanks for sharing!
It’s an internal struggle with all us readers... first the floppies then the collected editions.
The black glove is one of my favourite batman collection's
It’s an absolute gem!
Great review. Mine will be here tomorrow. Glad I have the Resurrection of Ras in paperback. THIS is my main problem when it comes to DC's "Named" omnibus....When they leave out the other chapters of a big crossover (ESPECIALLY when it's only a few more issues). They REALLY need to start putting those other stories in these as well (Marvel does it as well but not as much as DC) This is one of the reasons when everyone says they want a John Byrne Superman Omni I'm like HELL NO we want a POST CRISIS SUPERMAN Man of Steel omni, with all the other books in it as well....I'd HATE to get a Byrne Supes omni, then not have any of the Wolfman stuff in it, the Ordway stuff, OR the LoSH crossover issue to "fix hahahahahahaha" the Legion post crisis since there was no Superboy post coie. Anyways, I've babbled enough..thanks for another great vid.
In this case, it still reads well but of course you won’t get the full context... I think it’s a rabbit hole when you think about this era as there is a lot of non Morrison issues sprinkled throughout but still related to Morrison’s vision. Instead of a very laser focused (possibly) three volume Morrison Omnibus , you would end up with huge $150 multi volume omnis that’s possibly all over the place.
True, it's just the smaller things honestly, like the direct continuation stories...if it just plays off of something then yeah i agree it's not necessary. I still think back on the mistake they almost made w/ the JSA omnis until fan outcry and rage (for once deserved and glad DC backtracked on it) with them at first NOT going to put the first few issues of JSA in the first omni because it was JSA by Johns and he didn't write the first few issues. Things like that are what really annoy me...it's also why they had to go back and remap the Wolfman and Perez Omnis because that 3rd volume was a mess of partial and skipped stories because Perez wasn't on them.
Totally agree with their initial Solicits for JSA... That run didn’t make sense to take chunks out. I’m not against a 2000s era Batman Omni collection .. I would be first in line to grab it but I think that would be odd for DC to release that style for current age material like what they are doing with the Golden/Silver/Bronze age Omnis
Yeah it's just that completionist bug in me hahahahaha :) I STILL stand firm on my thoughts for a Post Crisis Superman omni though :P
Speaking of which.. I'll need to do my research to see if the Final Crisis Omni is complete.
Thanks, now i want to get this Batman Omnibus book.
Any time :)
Loved his run.
FYI the first omnibus also included summaries of Resurrection of R’as Ghul and Final Crisis
the Resurrection one has new artwork by Chris Burnham (Batman Inc.) but the Final Crisis just recycles artwork from the original event
Best Batman run
Definitely one of the best!!
I just ordered this and it’s mostly because of your super helpful review!!! Thanks for outlining this book (and Morrison’s run) do thoroughly!
Awesome !! Hopefully you got all three volumes without paying too much above cover price.
The Deluxe Edition yes, I got them all for good prices!!! One question, I’ve seen ppl say if you haven’t read any Morrison, you should read the Black Casebook before this run. I’ve noticed it’s OOP and really expensive second hand. Any other recommendations to read before?!
Picked it up day one! I’ve held off buying any Morrison Bat collection with the hope that it would all be collected in a uniform fashion. Can’t waitfor the next two onnis :)
Definitely!
Incidentally the upcoming Final Crisis Omnibus is solicited with all of R.I.P, Last Rites, and the stuff from Time And The Batman included. A very hefty chunk of Morrison's Batman so soon after this release.
Perfect timing in my opinion.
I'm getting the final crisis omnibus but will be collecting the Morrisons also my father had the black glove and didn't even know it!!
looks great! and i'm glad (and relieved) that the spine on this thing is in good shape!
Getting mine this week! Another great vid, Alex
Many thanks!! You won't be disappointed with the book.
Great video! Keep up the great work! Will need to add this one to the list!
Thanks Dave!
Amazing quality video. Keep up the great work. Thx for doing it.
Looks good to me. Thanks!
Day 1 purchase for me, especially after having seen this video!
Indeed! It’s a must have.
pre-ordered this last April, hopefully it'll be in my hands within the next 2 weeks
I hope you get it soon!
This looks amazing. I must own this
Yes, you must :)
Might get this for my birthday
Best as always and also, great review!
Thanks so much!
Best batman run
Awesome review. Really helped :)
Thanks man! Cant wait to do a review for Volume 2. Need another reason to revisit Morrison's Batman work!!!
Dream of whole life- Video about your comic book collection :3
I've read them all I'm individual volume and loved it but I gotta say u should read the batman by grant Morrison omnibus as it's easier to read and u get a better understanding of batman RIP cuz u get all the build up in this omnibus.
Like always good video and im glad that now im following you on twitter and instagram so i can see your pictures and know when you are uploading a new video
Many thanks for the positive feedback!!
The Last Rites issues would be confusing out of context.
This SHOULD include excerpts from Final Crisis where Batman is quickly called to investigate Orion's murder after crashing the helicopter, gets captured, breaks out of the mind-torture device, shoots Darkseid, and is hit by his Omega Beams.
I would need to see if there is a Morrison interview why we got R.I.P: The Missing Chapters after Final Crisis.....
it does! in the back there's a page detailing the events of final crisis
Amazing video, as always.
I think I'll be skipping this one. I already have the Deluxe Editions of Morrison's run, but I am considering picking up the third volume if that will contain the entire Batman Inc, as I'd love to have the second half of that, including the redrawn pages from the Absolute, in Deluxe format.
Will be picking up the Final Crisis omnibus however, so that I have all three main Crisis books in deluxe size as well.
Thank you so much! Im sure Batman Inc will be collected in its third volume (second will be Batman & Robin, Return of Bruce Wayne, etc). Any reason why you you didn't pick up the Absolute?
The absolutes are a bit too big and bulky for my taste, and while the quality of the packaging and paper stock can't be denied, they're a bit too pricey for me as well. Omnibuses and deluxe editions feel like the perfect fit for me, size-wise. :)
The cover looks kind of like the cover of Grant Morrison’s Daredevil Omnibus
Already ordered it, can't wait to re-read these stories.
Awesome! This video was delayed as I got sidetracked and re-read a good chunk of the omni :)
This is tempting, but the only thing Im missing is the 2 issues from "the Resurrection of Ras Al Ghul"..so Not sure. Im also surprised Batman 701 and 702 "RIP Missing Chapter" isnt in here.
I’m sure the missing chapter will be in the next volume. RIP and missing chapter is in the Final Crisis Omnibus
I already ordered it :D
Awesome.
Is the binding as loose as a Marvel omnibus or is it just loose for a dc book? I'm also saving up now to buy it because I'm a fan of Morrison and I'm a fan of Damien!
Nerdypants 05 it won't be like marvel binding, but it's perfectly fine so it doesn't really matter
I second Dynamic Penguin's comments.... the binding doesn't get in the way of enjoying the book.
The Deluxe Edition Dynamic Penguin thanks
Are you going to do a Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol 2 overview? Love the videos!
Thank you!!! About half way through the volume 2 review edit. I hope to get this out Friday night or Saturday at the latest.
Amazing, Thanks a ton. I Really appreciate your videos and you seem like a really nice person. Amazing how fast you responded! Thanks for all your time and hard work that you put into your videos, it really shows in the final version. I’m proud to be subscribed to you!
If I already have Batman and Son, the Resurrection of Ra’s Al Ghul, Black Glove, and Batman RIP, what am I missing from this omnibus?
Guess its time to sell the trades and buy this instead.
Indeed!
i just got this and Scott Snyder & Greg Capullo omnibus witch should i read first?
I think DC has finally learned from Marvel when it comes to gutter loss. I guess il finally buy something that isn’t an absolute by DC
They haven’t had a perfect track record but as of late I can’t remember getting a bear trap with major gutter loss. I imagine we will get a gold standard of DC Omnibus binding when Sandman Vol.3 drops later this year.
IDK if it's time to buy all 3 GM Omnibuses right now. It is one of my favorite batman runs and I'm a little afraid these will go OOP soon, but I also want Blackest night and JLA New 52 omnibuses.
Which ones do you think will go OOP first?
I would personally go for all three volumes of Batman by GM as you never know when one might go OOP. Then go for Blackest Night.
It’s in the qay
Waiting and hope for incorporated in the next volumes?
Incorporated should be in the next volumes.
if you wanted to read Final Crisis alongside this Omni when would you recommend jumping over to the event series?
Absolutely but if you want the full Final Crisis experience, a huge Omni is coming out in a couple months.
Uncool, dude. Now you've convinced me to go buy it. I need that money you know.
Jk, nice review dude 😁
Thanks!!! Uh oh.... Maybe you shouldn't be checking out my August and September Videos I'll be doing then :)
The Deluxe Edition monster 😜
Im trying to get into video editing and love your quality! What program do you use and do you have any starter tips? Thanks
Many thanks!! I constantly switch back and forth with Premiere and Final Cut. Both are great but I am leaning towards the performance of Final Cut these days. Starter tip is just to start and learn as you go along.
Are you gonna get the Injustice Omnibus?
Hey so is the batman and son and batman rip complete in this or are there issues missing aswell. Also is final crisis in this
Missing issues due to issues not written by Grant Morrison. You will need the Final Crisis Omni if you want the entire experience outside of the Batman Universe.
@@TheDeluxeEdition so batman and son and batman rip aint fully collected. Damn wasted my money. Might as well have brought the batman and son and batman rip trades
Great video, told me almost everything I wanted to know. The only thing I am unsure of is where the Batman and Robin omnibus comes into this. Seems odd that wasn't collected with the rest of Morrison's work. Will you be doing a video on that?
Thanks again for this!
Neriek the barman and robin omnibus is from the new 52, it starts a bit before the end of Batman incorporated. It's not essential reading but s fun follow up to Morrisons
I assume Morrison's Batman & Robin will be collected in the second volume. Tomasi/Gleason's Batman & Robin is post Morrison. Its currently a gap in my collection which I hope to soon rectify.
Ok, so I got the complete end of the stick. I thought that the Batman and Robin omnibus was Grant Morrison. Good to know they will collect it all in the right reading order like the Green Lantern ones. Thanks for clearing that up. :D
How's the binding of the book? Thanks
Can anyone please write names of the paperbacks or books i should buy before i pick this? My only knowledge of Batman is Scott Snyder New 52 run and i dont want to be too confused going into this
I think you’ll be fine going into this without background material but if you want to dive into the stories where Morrison drew his run from, I would pick Batman: The Black Casebook TPB
@@TheDeluxeEdition thank you so much!
Are we going to get the rest of Morrison’s run in Absolute format though? Doubtful now the omnibus is out :(
I was just wondering in your opinion would it just be better to buy all of Morrisons stories seperatly (for example Batman R.I.P deluxe edition and then Black Glove and so on) or just to get the omnibus, Because from what I understood some stories were missing a few issues in the omnibus.Thanks.
The Risk Taker the only issues missing are the non morrison issues of the resurrection of ras al ghul
Dynamic Penguin, AHH I see so I'm not missing anything really. Ok. Thank you very much.
Should you read the whole omnibus before Final Crisis or should you stop at a certain point?
Stop at a certain point but only if you want to experience the entire Final Crisis event. It's not critical to the Morrison Batman Run. If I remember right (please correct me) there are more critical elements missing from the Morrison Batman volumes like Battle for the Cowl (i.e Anything non Morrison during those years)
@@TheDeluxeEdition ack. the timeline is so confusing!
Would it be worth it to buy this if I have the black glove, the return of Bruce Wayne and absolute batman and robin?
Este onmibus do Batman tem que chegar no Brasil com a linguagem portuguesa.
still deciding between the absolutes or this omnibus edition
Sadly there is no Absolute for the arcs contained in this volume (Besides Last Rites which is in Absolute Final Crisis). The absolutes I featured in this video (Batman & Robin / Batman Inc) will most likely be there in vol.2 and 3 .
@@TheDeluxeEdition i have absolute batman and robin. If i buy this will that just tie in neatly? Feel that when onimbus vol2 comes out ill be just doubling up on what i already have. Already irked that i bought batman rip hc and will have this content twice! ;) thanks.
BatmaNZ Unfortunately you’ll be double dipping but Vols 2 and 3 will not only contain Batman & Robin. Think of the Omni as the complete Batman Morrison Saga in the correct reading order.
Hi. I’d to create a similar channel dedicated to the Spanish editions. Can you say what software you use to edit the videos? Thanks.
Hi! That is awesome!!! I flip flop between Premiere Pro and Final Cut . If you have a Mac and shoot in 4k, Final Cut will be much more efficient compared to Premiere. I cant comment on DaVinci Resolve but people seem to love it.
Hello, I'm new to the run, and want to know, what background reading on crisis do I need to do?
Hi! Check out my video on Final Crisis for the complete background reading list... For the Batman centric stories, you’ll be fine without any background reading . The Black Casebook TPB where the issues collected here that inspired Morrison for his run isn’t really necessary.
@@TheDeluxeEdition thank you! The video was super helpful.
I have hearded that all comics of Batman by Grant Morrison will appear in three omnibus and this is the first. Is it correct? Thanks
So if I decide to buy this I need then to buy many more comic books? What should I do? (I tried to not watch much of the video for avoiding spoilers)
This run comprises of three Omnibus volumes
@@TheDeluxeEdition Yes I know, but I heard that the stories contained in these omnibus can give some confusion in the reader because of some missing connections between some stories and some others. Is it right? In any case I bought these two, waiting for the release of the third volume in my country
It does have the black glove part or it is skipped?
It does have the Black Glove.
I'm thinking of buying Batman RIP but haven't read Batman The Black Glove or Batman and Son either... Should I go for Batman RIP directly or is it better to go for Final Crisis as a first timer?
The omnibus I think would be the preferred reading option but you may get lost in RIP in any case without Final Crisis / R.I.P: The Missing Chapters
The Deluxe Edition.... actually I can not afford omnibus at the moment so have to choose between RIP and Final Crisis... What's ur suggestion... Even if you suggest buying none of them plz do say so... I'm a first timer so don't wanna put my pocket money saving on the wrong deal😅
Do you know if they will also collect the Absolute Batman&Robin Batman Reborn into an eventual Morrison Omnibus volume? Because I’ve been looking out for a second hand one but if it gets collected into an omnibus I’d rather wait.
I assume Batman & Robin and Batman Inc will make it in the next two volumes .
Guess I'll just have to get rid of my absolutes then :(
Did they include the extras from the RIP hard cover?
Unfortunately just a variant cover gallery with the omni.
Seems like an overlook. This was a great chance to make the ultimate package of Morrison's Batman, but alas, that was not to be.
Something I don't really like about the Omnibuses of Dc are they mostly only do it for authors. So probably you are always going to missed some issues here and there.
In Brazil Omnibuses are soooooooo expensives.
I want it, but, I can't buy.
Is it cheaper if you buy from In Stock Trades here in the US and ship it home to Brazil ?
The Deluxe Edition That's a good idea!
Thanks
Mine has wavy pages, any idea why?
That’s extremely odd for the paper stock DC uses for their Omnis... It must be a new batch.... What is the paper stock like ?
The Deluxe Edition pages seemed to be high quality enough, perhaps it's something I've done
How do you have this already???
Came out last New Comic Book Wednesday here in the states... I understand the rest of the world may be delayed a week due to worldwide shipping.
didn't realize US and Canada had different shipping. Thanks!
I thought Canada would be same.... I know somebody from Toronto that gets all the latest books every Wednesday.
Can I start with Morrison’s run if I haven’t read anything of Batman before?
Is batman incorporated on this also?
Unfortunately no. This should be collected in the volumes.
Thank you
Zoos do a collection video or at least respond
Please help me. I want to get into Morrison's run soon. Is this the best option? I wonder if the omnibus leaves out any issues or whole paperbacks. I dont want to save money as much as I want to have to whole thing. So as far as part 1 goes, is this omnibus complete?
This will be most likely be a three Volume omnibus set. Volume 2 is out next year.
