Batman by Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale Omnibus Review

[@randomguy9282]

I'm new to these, but this review got me to get this one today. I always heard great things about the cat woman story.

[@TheComicBookReport]

Oh wow! I sincerely hope you enjoy! 🦇
This omnibus was the first time I had the chance to read the catwoman story! Thoroughly enjoyed it, a fantastic inclusion on this omnibus

[@user-zr2ug4rh7w]

Okay, thanks for convincing me yet again! Time to purchase this today.

[@TheComicBookReport]

One of my absolute favorites 👏💯🦇

[@jakebeninato9938]

What I love most about Jeph Loeb’s writing for Batman is how well he understands Bruce.
IMO, he’s a character with 3 identities: (1) The public, playboy persona; (2) The Batman persona, where he plays up dramatics; it’s an identity he gives to himself to feel strong and confident; and (3) The REAL Bruce Wayne, an intelligent and physically strong man but with some insecurities, especially involving social relationships, and his paranoia/overthinking. Jeph Loeb, Jim Starlin, and a few other writers understand this and that’s why I really adore their Batman work (it’s also why Matt Reeves’s The Batman is my favorite Bat-film).
Great review, Dominick, though I will say that I’d personally like to see more non-Batman DC reviews. I really think you’ll dig Mr. Miracle and Strange Adventures by Tom King, Question by Denny O’Neil, and Orion by Walt Simsonson if you want any recommendations.

[@TheComicBookReport]

Like that breakdown and something I have not much considered. I sometimes see identities 2/3 as one merged but I really like your perspective here!
Thanks for watching.
And yeah, I’m definitely interested in checking out King’s Non-Batman DC stuff that mister miracle run is one I definitely want to read

[@jakebeninato9938]

@@TheComicBookReport Tom King and Mitch Gerards’s Mr. Miracle is brilliant. It’s a 5/5 book, IMO. Though I’m not a big sci-fi fan, I do have a soft spot for the New Gods. King’s version is definitely different, a lot more deconstructed, but still amazing…just not the best portrayal of Orion but ah well 😂

I hope they include the Long Halloween Special in future printings

[@TheComicBookReport]

That would be an asset

[@OmnibusRyan]

Dude, this looks amazing! Thanks for the review. As I’m dipping into DC I was going to avoid Batman/Superman stuff to start out but…idk very tempting here…

[@TheComicBookReport]

This is the best Batman omnibus I’ve come across so far. I think for any comic fan Batman The Long Halloween is an absolute must read by itself!
If you end up checking this out you’ll have to let me know :) 🦇🦇🦇

PHENOMENAL REVIEW bro ! One of the greatest reviews I've seen you do. I can hear the passion so clear throughout this video, you went so in depth on the characters and story and even the art. You definitely make me wanna re-visit this run. Definitely a masterpiece ! Great review man !

[@TheComicBookReport]

Thanks so much man! I appreciate you stopping by! 💪👏📚
Such a great read.
This Omni was the first time I was able to read the Catwoman story fun in-universe story for sure

[@ErickReyesRomeroBanks]

I already have the trades except catwomen in rome, but i might buy this

[@TheComicBookReport]

I was the same way. The Omni is great to have it all in one and love that oversized format 🦇

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

I don't know why Omnibuses didn't come with behind the cover art work with the expense to purchase one!!!

[@TheComicBookReport]

I believe this is an older omnibus. I know under the dust jacket art work has been a newer feature the last handful of years

[@drocksteadyreviews]

Still have to check this one out! It’s been sitting on the shelf for far to long! Looks Effing AMAZING! Great Review!

[@TheComicBookReport]

Batman Must Read! 👏🦇
Bare minimum The Long Halloween is a masterpiece

[@drocksteadyreviews]

@@TheComicBookReport I have all this Batman Gold just sitting on the shelf I’m crazy 🤪

Great review

[@TheComicBookReport]

Thank you so much for watching!🦇
Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@cristianalmada-fu6pw]

Great review man! I love this omnibus, I recommend you to read Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason's Batman and Robin Omnibus is another excellent run.

[@TheComicBookReport]

I’ve only read the first 7-8 issues of that run but loved it. Have been hearing great things about that omnibus for sure 🦇🦇🦇

[@cristianalmada-fu6pw]

​@@TheComicBookReport It's a really cool read! Keep with the good work!

[@TheComicBookReport]

@@cristianalmada-fu6pw thanks for the recommendation! And thank you :)

[@benupc]

Wow. This is an awesome looking omni. I am one of the few Batman fans that hasn’t read Long Halloween. I feel the shame…😳 I am definitely going to read it now. The art just wasn’t quite my thing I guess.
I wanted to ask you something, Dominick. I love Soule’s Darth Vader and I looking to read more of his stuff. I love DD by Zdarsky, Miller and Bendis but I haven’t read anything by Charles Soule. You’re a big DD fan; do you like Charles Soule’s run? Is it worth investing in the omni? Do you have any other Charles Soule recommendations?

[@TheComicBookReport]

No shame whatsoever it just means you have an incredible journey ahead of you! I think at least The Long Halloween is essential for all Batman comic fans! 👏
I haven’t read a ton of Charles Soule. I am a gigantic daredevil fan and have read his whole run. I did enjoy it but it’s not my favorite of the modern DD runs. I’d say there are Daredevil runs I prefer but I’ve you’ve read some of them already and are a Soule fan it’s still a very fun read and the art has a terrific style 👏 I may need to review more of that run on the channel I don’t think I’ve covered any of it yet.
Only other recommendation I have is Undiscovered Country! It’s an ongoing image title with Co-authored by Scott Snyder and Charles Soule. Im reviewing the second volume friday actually, I think I reviewed the first a few months back. I have definitely enjoyed making my way through that series so far!
Happy reading my friend

[@benupc]

@@TheComicBookReport Oh yeah, I saw your review on the Undiscovered Country. I like Snyder too. So that sounds good. 👍
I am going to buy a DD tpb vol. 1 to check it out first.
Thanks again for your daily advice, Dominick. 😉 Have a nice day. 👊🏻

[@TheComicBookReport]

@@benupc yeah I’m sure the Omni is nice but I’ve got the paperbacks for all of Soule’s run myself that’s a great way to take a look to see if it’s your flavor!
Let me know what you think :)
