About this edition

The Man Who Laughs is Ed Brubaker and Doug Mahnke's account of Batman's first encounter with the Joker, written as a direct continuation of Frank Miller's Year One. Brubaker writes the Joker as a public health emergency rather than a nemesis — poisoned reservoirs, televised threats, a city that does not yet know what it is dealing with — and Mahnke draws the victims' faces, which is the detail everyone remembers. Made of Wood is the other draw: a genuine detective story with the Golden Age Green Lantern.

Batman omnibus editions cover Gotham from Golden Age detective stories to modern creator runs, Bat-family events and darker psychological reinventions.

Injustice: Gods Among Us Omnibus Volume 1

Injustice: Gods Among Us Omnibus Volume 1

Injustice began as a tie-in to the fighting game and became one of DC's longest-running alternate universes, built on a single irreversible act: the Joker tricks Superman into killing Lois Lane and their unborn child. Injustice works because it takes its premise seriously: the heroes who side with Superman have reasons, and the ones who oppose him lose. It is the most accessible DC alternate universe on the shelf, with no continuity required, and this omnibus replaces three years of scattered digital-first collections with a single volume.

Batman / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Omnibus

Batman / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Omnibus

James Tynion IV and Freddie Williams II crossed Batman with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles three times, and the result outsold almost every other DC/IDW crossover attempted. The setup is a dimensional accident engineered by Krang to rid himself of the Turtles and the Foot Clan at once — which dumps Shredder into Gotham. What makes it work is that Tynion plays both worlds straight: Ra's al Ghul and Killer Croc against ninja mutants, with Splinter and Bruce Wayne sizing each other up as the two mentors they are.

Batman by James Tynion IV Omnibus Vol. 1

Batman by James Tynion IV Omnibus Vol. 1

James Tynion IV took over Batman after Tom King and immediately escalated: The Joker War is a full assault on Bruce Wayne's fortune, his allies and the city itself, drawn by Jorge Jiménez. Tynion's premise is simple and brutal: strip Batman of his money and see what remains. Having the crossover chapters from Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood and Catwoman in the same volume matters here, because the story is deliberately told across the whole Bat-family rather than in one title.

Batman: Knightfall Omnibus Vol. 1

Batman: Knightfall Omnibus Vol. 1

Batman: Knightfall Omnibus Vol. 1 begins the Bane saga by turning Gotham into a gauntlet. Arkham's inmates are loose, Batman is forced through fight after fight, and Bane waits for exhaustion to do what brute strength alone cannot: make the Dark Knight break.

Batman: Road to No Man's Land Omnibus

Batman: Road to No Man's Land Omnibus

Road to No Man's Land is the run-up to DC's biggest Batman event of the nineties. A cataclysmic earthquake levels Gotham, and these are the months in which the city falls apart before Washington writes it off entirely. This is the volume most readers skip and then need: No Man's Land makes far more sense when you have watched Bane escape, Azrael struggle for legitimacy and Gotham's infrastructure fail one system at a time. Chuck Dixon coordinates a dozen titles into a single collapse, and the omnibus finally puts the whole crossover in reading order instead of scattered across four series.

Batman: No Man's Land Omnibus Vol. 1

Batman: No Man's Land Omnibus Vol. 1

No Man's Land is the year DC declared Gotham dead. After the earthquake of Cataclysm, the United States government evacuates the city, dynamites the bridges and leaves whoever stays behind to divide the ruins into territories. The premise strips Batman of everything except the city itself: no infrastructure, no law, and gang leaders marking blocks with spray paint. It is also where Cassandra Cain becomes Batgirl. Volume 1 is the opening third of the crossover, in reading order across every Bat-title, which is the only way it works.

Batman '66 Omnibus

Batman '66 Omnibus

In 1966 Batman was a prime-time television phenomenon: Adam West and Burt Ward, painted sound effects and a rogues' gallery played by Hollywood guest stars. DC brought that universe back as an ongoing comic. This is the whole run in one volume, and the rare Batman book you can hand to anyone: no continuity to catch up on, no crossovers, just self-contained stories.

Batman/Spawn Deluxe Edition

Batman/Spawn Deluxe Edition

Batman and Spawn crossed over twice in 1994, once from each publisher, with Frank Miller and Doug Moench writing and Todd McFarlane and Klaus Janson drawing. The 1994 books are a document of the moment Image was outselling DC and the two companies had to negotiate as equals. The 2022 one-shot is the reason to buy it now: McFarlane and Capullo, the two definitive Spawn and Batman artists, on the same book for the first time.

About the writer

More from Ed Brubaker

Ed Brubaker omnibus editions turn superhero continuity into crime fiction, espionage and noir pressure, especially Daredevil, Captain America and Gotham.

Captain America: Return of the Winter Soldier Omnibus

Captain America: Return of the Winter Soldier Omnibus

Ed Brubaker spent eight years on Captain America and turned Bucky Barnes from a continuity embarrassment into the most interesting character in the book. This omnibus collects the conclusion. The Winter Soldier series is the payoff of the whole run: Russian sleeper agents waking up, Doctor Doom, and Bucky forced to choose between his own freedom and Natasha's. Brubaker writes it as cold-war espionage rather than superheroics, and this is the volume where he finishes the story he started in 2005.

The Authority Omnibus Vol. 2

The Authority Omnibus Vol. 2

The Authority Omnibus Vol. 2 follows the team's dangerous space between rescue and political force, shaped by intervention, power, violence and the uncomfortable line between protection and control. The appeal is seeing this DC period collected as one reading path, with its own tone, cast and visual rhythm.

Captain America: The Trial of Captain America Omnibus

Captain America: The Trial of Captain America Omnibus

The Trial of Captain America — Ed Brubaker's penultimate omnibus arc, placing Bucky Barnes in the dock for his crimes as the Winter Soldier. This omnibus collects one of the most legally and morally complex stories in Brubaker's run: can a man be judged for acts committed while brainwashed? The courtroom drama is backed by relentless action as the Sin — Red Skull's daughter — wages war on America, building toward a conclusion that fundamentally reshapes Bucky's fate. Brubaker at his most sophisticated.

Captain America: The Death of Captain America Omnibus

Captain America: The Death of Captain America Omnibus

The Death of Captain America is the storyline Ed Brubaker wrote immediately after Civil War, in which Steve Rogers is shot on the courthouse steps and stays dead for two years. The interesting part is that Brubaker barely writes Steve: the run is about Bucky Barnes taking the shield, Sharon Carter's role in the assassination, and the Red Skull operating through other people's bodies. It is the rare superhero death that Marvel used properly, and Bucky's tenure as Captain America starts here.

Captain America by Ed Brubaker Omnibus Vol. 1

Captain America by Ed Brubaker Omnibus Vol. 1

Ed Brubaker took over Captain America in 2004 and opened by doing the thing Marvel had promised never to do: bringing Bucky Barnes back. The Winter Soldier reveal is one of the few modern retcons that improved the character, and Brubaker earns it by writing the run as cold-war espionage rather than superheroics. Steve Epting's art carries that tone completely. It is the direct source for the second Captain America film and for the character Marvel has published ever since.

Daredevil by Ed Brubaker Omnibus Vol. 2

Daredevil by Ed Brubaker Omnibus Vol. 2

Daredevil by Ed Brubaker Omnibus Vol. 2 is the consequence volume: Lady Bullseye, the Hand, Kingpin fallout and Matt's gradual slide toward choices that feel less heroic and more desperate. It closes the Bendis-Brubaker era with the discipline of a crime novel, where every decision comes due. The value is the second half of Brubaker's noir machinery: Matt Murdock under pressure from crime, law, prison fallout and enemies who understand his weak points.

Daredevil by Ed Brubaker Omnibus Vol. 1

Daredevil by Ed Brubaker Omnibus Vol. 1

Ed Brubaker took over Daredevil directly from Bendis, with Matt Murdock already in prison and his identity already public — a starting position most writers would have reset. Brubaker keeps every problem he inherited and adds more: the prison arc, the move to Europe, and the return of a character Matt had every reason to believe was dead. It is the closest Marvel has come to publishing a straight crime serial, and Lark's art is deliberately unglamorous throughout.

Batman: War Games Omnibus

Batman: War Games Omnibus

War Games was DC's answer to a simple question: what happens if every gang in Gotham loses its leader on the same night. The answer is a citywide gang war that Batman started by accident. This is the crossover that kills Stephanie Brown, ends Batman's working relationship with the Gotham police and leaves the Bat-family fractured for years. It is also one of the tightest crossovers DC has published: every chapter advances the same night, and the omnibus is the only edition that keeps them in sequence.
