A few thoughts:
— The 112-page hardcover will be published by Insight Editions. It lists for $34.99 and is due Oct. 31, 2023.
— I’ve grown beyond tired of Flashpoint Batman and the Batman Who Laughs, but they are only two of more than 60 profiles. I’m very much looking forward to see what Batmaven Matthew Manning and his artistic collaborator Flaviu Pop have up their collective sleeve.
— I wanna see the original Earth-Three Owlman, don’t you? And classic Earth-One and Earth-Two Batman. They should count, right?

“I’ve grown beyond tired of Flashpoint Batman and the Batman Who Laughs”
Here! Here!

As someone who can’t get enough of ‘40s era JSA, as a fan of the old JLA/JSA summer team up, I hope I never have to hear about another “multiverse” ever again.

I want to see inside this book before I commit.

Remember when the DC Multiverse meant Earth-1; Earth-2; Golden Age superheroes, JSA with Power Girl; the Huntress; and All-Star Squadron? Good times.

This sounds pretty tempting.
