I would definitely add "the Return of Bruce Wayne" to the list.
Final Crisis isn't mandatory- you can get the necessary information from Batman 702 and 703 but I forgot where those were collected.

Haha--so true. They are, by far, my favorite Batman and Robin team. So much so that even a few panels with them, like in that issue, are enough to remind me how great their run together was, and how well developed Morrison's Batman is. Their bond survived a universal reboot, yo.
You'll probably miss out on a few of the less important plot points since you skipped Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul, Final Crisis, and Return of Bruce Wayne, but you got all the important stuff.
I'd recommend reading a wiki or something to get a summary of what happens in the stuff you missed if you haven't already done that. That's probably the best way to go about it anyways. Ra's al Ghul was definitely skippable besides the minor plot points that carry over into the rest of the series and Return of Bruce Wayne wasn't all that great either (and I don't know if anything even happens that is referred to elsewhere in the run). Final Crisis I did enjoy quite a bit, despite its infamous confusingness (especially for someone like me who hasn't read much DC stuff and doesn't know about the crazy space/universe situation), so even if you do just read the wiki of it now, it might be worth picking up sometime.
Ah yeah, that's this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1401229905/?tag=neogaf0e-20
I knew there was an issue somewhere that included the bit of Final Crisis that was relevant to Batman. Good call, Crichton.

Return of Bruce Wayne sets up the last arc if batman and robin .
Final crisis is more exploring the themes he set up in his run. Final crisis is just amazing

I'm sure DC is working on some Morrison Batman Omnibus or something right now
and by right now, I mean in DC trade release time, so in 7-8 years

According to my quick calculations using the Amazon trade paperback page counts, his run is 2150 pages long. That's totally do-able in two omnibuses. Or four more practical oversized hardcover volumes. I'd totally buy those.

B&R volume 1

No but it's one I always would like to reread. Lots of fun week to week
Did anyone read Eric Stephenson's address at the COMICSPRO conference? THIS is the stuff that gets me excited and proud to be a comic book reader. Couldn't agree with the guy more. An attitude like that is infectious and is exactly what the industry needs.
Don't get me wrong, I think that some super-hero comics are great, and I read my fair share, but I do think focusing on new, original content is what will get the readers in the door long term. It's what got me in the door.

That or a portal into a star. I don't think it mattered beyond being a portal to somewhere super hot.
Speaking of Uncanny Avengers spoilers (don't read if you have not read issue 17)
I'm a bit disappointed that this entire story line is now something that will clearly be reverted via time travel. For a second back in December, it seemed like something major might have been going on.
Oh goodness yes to both of these ideas. It's all too perfect.
Except with three books, maybe do a Kubert wrap-around on the first, then the Quitely and Burnham.
Yeah, they reeeeally need to put out that Deluxe OHC of Batman Inc vol 2 already. Or better yet, an Absolute edition. I'd be there day one. I love Burnham's art so much.
You know what. I would.
Any other omnibus collectors here? Payday is Friday, and I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger on that Annihilation and Infinity Gauntlet omnibus from CGN. I've never really read cosmic marvel, but I guess Annihilation will be a good place to start. That damn GotG trailer got me...dammit
I hope those 2 omnibus mean that we'll get and Annihilation Conquest and Infinity War omnibus soon (probably next year, if so). More Cosmic Marvel goodness to read.
Lots of reading coming up for me:
Uncanny Xforce omni
UXM vol 2 omni
Infinity + companion HCs (I hope it's good)

Time to play dirty. This is for your own good, Messi.
Buy Green Arrow or I drop Harley Quinn.
Oh geez. I haven't read it yet, but I'm sort of tempted to buy the omnibus and I just checked the price on Amazon and two sellers have it listed new for $73. What do.
I was right, no context and it's still totally relevant.

Just started reading the Birds of Prey: Clash of Daggers trade and OH MY GOD. I think I love Batgirl even more now.
I've never seen Wijaya's art before. Amazing stuff.
Woah, that's awesome. Is that just cover art? Or is it like that inside as well?
Well I am sorry that you feel you need to drop my favourite book but I won't be held to ransom. You no you like Harley too much to drop it. Let's be real.
Interiors too, it's a great looking issue.
It's the entire first story of the trade, which was Batgirl Annual #1. Molenar and Cifuentes handle the artwork for the rest of the book.
...and that art is nowhere near as spectacular.

I don't know what to read after Power Girl Power Trip which has been excellent and will finish tonight. Up next is either Plantetary Omnibus or to start that Batman and Robins. Oh the decisions.
Back to Power Girl, I really loved this so far. Amanda Conners art is amazing. She is a really fun character by these writers. Has she been in anything else interesting?

Any of you ever had Amazon, not a 3rd party seller on the site, not fulfill a book order before?
Back in January I bought the Infinite Crisis omnibus from Amazon when they had it priced at $90, but their listing said the usual "Temp sold out...Order now and they'll ship it when available" for a sold out item. 2 months and no update on a shipping date.
I called them and they basically said they had no clue on a ship date. I have no idea why they'd have a book available for purchase for a few days, if they weren't getting any more in stock

IST haul.
Warning: Those batman books are so good that every batman story afterwards is going to seem like shit in comparison. Nothing will ever top Morrison's run. Which reminds me that I still haven't to read the last 12 issues of Batman Inc.
All I know is that I really want Manifest Destiny to be good. I love the concept. It seems like great fun.

Nobody has spoken about Dead Boy Detectives in this thread but I have to say, the first issue is something special. There's a narrative trick in there that's so fucking cool, and there's some beautiful Buckingham art. It's severely underrated.
