As a long-time avid reader with a tight budget, I understand the sticker shock that can come with buying expensive books, especially large comic book omnibuses.

With a price tag of just 11 cents per page, this deal seems like a steal!

Return To Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham Series Next Month With 1,648-Page Comics Omnibus

Following the success of Batman: Arkham Asylum upon its 2009 release, DC Comics swiftly provided fans with additional material to explore. This omnibus gathers all the Arkham comic book origins, tracing Batman’s early years patrolling the streets in Batman: Arkham Origins and delving into the ominous tales of Batman: Arkham Knight Genesis, plus everything in between. Here’s the comprehensive list for this collection:

  • Batman: Arkham Asylum: The Road to Arkham
  • Batman: Arkham City #1-5
  • Batman: Arkham City: End Game #1
  • Batman: Arkham Knight #1-12
  • Batman: Arkham Knight Annual #1
  • Batman: Arkham Knight: Batgirl & Harley Quinn #1
  • Batman: Arkham Knight Genesis #1-6
  • Batman: Arkham Knight: Robin Special #1
  • Batman: Arkham Origins Special
  • Batman: Arkham Unhinged

As a longtime fan of DC Comics and video games, I find this hardcover collection to be an absolute treasure trove for enthusiasts like myself. Having grown up reading Batman comics and playing the Arkham series, it’s a dream come true to have such a diverse selection of mini-series and one-shots featuring some of my favorite creators, all in one place. The digital-first series, Batman: Arkham Unhinged, is particularly noteworthy as it has been added to the collection, even though it was later reprinted in traditional comic book form. It’s wonderful to have it included with other series in this omnibus, making it easy for fans to access and enjoy.

It’s worth checking out how these games came together, and there is a superb book detailing all this work, although it is pricey because it’s out of print. Alternatively, there’s nothing wrong with going back to the original source material, as you can grab Batman: The Arkham Collection on PC for just $8.40 at Fanatical.

As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I must say that the collection featuring Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight is nothing short of a dream come true for fans like myself. Having grown up playing these games and fondly remembering their immersive storylines and challenging gameplay, I can’t help but feel nostalgic at the prospect of revisiting them once more. What sets this collection apart from others is not only the inclusion of these timeless classics but also the fact that it comes with all their DLC and expansion pass content, which is a steal considering the 86% discount on offer.

In addition to Batman: The Arkham Saga, there are other upcoming 2024 graphic novels and omnibuses centered around the Caped Crusader and his adversaries in Gotham City. One of the most anticipated releases is the Absolute Edition of Grant Morrison’s and Dave McKean’s Arkham Asylum, which, unsurprisingly, inspired the title and served as a source for Rocksteady’s first Batman video game. The Absolute Batman: Arkham Asylum will hit shelves later this month. Similarly, Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight: The Master Race is set to receive its own Absolute Batman edition on September 17.

The exceptional Absolute Batman hardcover collection is truly impressive, yet it’s not the sole source where timeless Batman tales are being re-published. Additionally, DC is also republishing some remarkable Batman books in a series called DC Finest. Batman: Year One & Two marks the debut of this new DC Finest collection. This affordable $40 paperback spans close to 600 pages and is scheduled for release on November 5.
