First, Batman receives the greatest shock of his life when he discovers that he has a son. And sparks fly when Damian is introduced to Robin, the Boy Wonder. Which young hero will carry on the legacy as Gotham City’s protector?

No special features. Instead we get a 6 page preview for Batman RIP. What a gyp.
Otherwise, very nice edition. but including a preview for RIP instead of extra content is pretty lame. Would love to see some sketches, concept art, annotations? something? bueller?
Its a weird one no doubt, but I was going to buy this anyways. The price for the amount of pages is great. This really feels like an omnibus. Plus, the oversized page format now takes most of the Morrison Batman (minus Time and the Batman) and lines them all up on the bookshelf nicely. It was long overdue. Yes, the extras are pretty bad. There really isn’t any. Makes me wonder if it is all being saved up for a possible Absolute Morrison Batman.
I can’t wait to re-read all of this.
Absolute Morrison Batman is probably my dream, it would be cool if they included the scenes from 52. I’m already excited for the Absolute Final Crisis coming out later this year.
So am I. Plus, Absolute Bat & Robin.
Oh yeah bring on all the Morrison Absolutes. Love the format!!
And price for this book is superb. It’s cheaper than buying the two paperbacks even!
