Every Missing Justice League Omnibus, Mapped | 2025 Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus Poll

May 17, 2025 by krisis 1 Comment

Most Wanted DC Omnibus - Justice League Omnibus Mapping 2025It’s time to map the DC Universe! In June, I’ll be joining with Near Mint Condition to launch the Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus 2nd Annual Poll! This post explains every Justice League omnibus that does NOT exist – and DC’s Trinity in omnibus – all of which will appear as options on the 2025 poll.

Through the end of May I’ll be covering DC entire publishing history by mapping missing omnibus volumes to fill in every gap in your DC oversize shelf! That’s all leading to the kickoff of the Tigereyes Most Wanted DC Omnibus 2nd Annual Poll on Near Mint Condition the first week of June.

Justice League is one of DC’s marquee properties to collect in omnibus, but that doesn’t meant there are no gaps to fill.

We have perfect coverage of the Pre-Crisis era save for one (or maybe two) volumes. And, Post-Crisis kicks off with three stunningly-mapped volumes. However, after that things get shaky for nearly 20 years until we hit New 52.

If you’re not sure of what to vote for, stick around for a list of books vetted by a gang of the biggest mapping nerds on the internet with explanations from yours truly – keeper of the most-definitive guides to collected editions on the planet.

Or, if you don’t care about omnibuses, just use this post to learn about DC history and find some great comics to read!

Remember: These titles and mappings are a suggestion of how DC could assemble these books. Your vote on the poll is a vote in favor of DC creating a book with that title or covering that period, NOT an endorsement of a specific map. Maps are presented as a proof of concept and to help you build your personal reading list.

For less than the cost of a single comic issue a month you can fuel my in-depth comics coverage, plus gain access to dozens of exclusive collecting guides & reading orders – including all of the Crushing Comics Guide to DC Comics.

Justice League Omnibus Mapping – The Bronze Age

DC has been incredibly aggressive in mapping Pre-Crisis Justice League. It’s one of their most well-reprinted Silver and Bronze Age properties. They’ve already completely covered the Silver Age in three volumes. We also have three Bronze Age volumes – tied for the most volumes alongside Brave and the Bold and the unlikely The House of Mystery. Plus, we have an 80s Pre-Crisis omnibus as well! To see existing omnibuses and how this material has already been collected, visit the Guide to Justice League.

Justice League of America The Silver Age Vol. 1-3 and the Bronze Age 1-3 fit here.

Justice League of America: The Bronze Age Omnibus Vol. 4 (1980 & on)

There is a slim chance that DC decides to go bold and finish the Justice League line with a single volume, which placed in the midst of the on-air results of last year’s poll.

Why a slim chance?

This book needs to collect 50 issues to connect from Bronze Age Vol. 3 to the Detroit Era omnibus on the other side. Justice League is one of the few Silver & Bronze lines where DC has ever gone bigger than 1,000 pages – on Silver Age Vol. 2 as well as the Detroit book.

However, many of these issues have 22-23 story pages and some of them are extra-length. Plus each issue’s cover, that means we’re looking at a 1,200+ page book. There’s absolutely no precedent for DC doing a classic book of that size except for Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters Saga by Mike Grell, which they had the motivation to knock out in two volumes rather than three.

Unlike Green Arrow, Justice League is a sure seller, so I don’t think DC has any reason to make this super-sized.

Whether it’s one volume or two, I think there’s a chance this could be retitled to “The 1980s Omnibus” just so DC doesn’t have to market higher numbers of a Bronze Age line, which could lead to diminishing sales returns.

This would collect collect Justice League (1961) #183-232.

Justice League: The Detroit Era fits here.

Justice League Omnibus Mapping – Crisis to Infinite Crisis

Post-Crisis Justice League is a very different story than their classic material. We have three breathtakingly comprehensive omnibuses, then a major gap, and then one breathtakingly badly-mapped omnibus leading to a vast gulf of under-collected 2000s isues. To see existing omnibuses and how this material has already been collected, visit the Guide to Justice League.

Justice League International Vol. 1-3 fit here.

Justice League International Vol. 4 (1992 & on)

DC has also been hard at work on its Post-Crisis Justice League material. For all my critiques of DC’s omnibus mapping strategy, this line has been perfect from the start! It’s an “all-in-one” collection of all the Justice League ongoings, even as the team divides and adds additional titles.

How far would that mapping perfection continue into the messy mid-90s? It’s hard to say. I think there’s a strong change we could squeak another two volumes out to conclude the run of Justice League Europe (1989) and Justice League International (1993) under this “International” title.

It’s hard to predict if we’d keep getting linewide books to stretch into Justice League Task Force (1993) and Extreme Justice (1995) when it reaches that point. Those titles feel much farther out from the central spine of Justice League than Europe/International do.

A vote for this book is a vote for DC to keep up their amazing mapping to complete this period of twin Justice League flagships.

We need at least two more volumes in this series as it continues to collect Justice League America (1989) #61-113, 0, & Annuals 6-10, Justice League Europe (1989) #37-50 & Annual 3, Justice League International (1993) #51-68 & Annuals 4-5, and Justice League [International] Quarterly (1990) #6-17.

Justice League Task Force (1993 – 1996)

Though it is possible the International line will press onward to collect this early-90s team anchored by Martian Manhunter, it’s the perfect length for an omnibus all of its own. It doesn’t cross over much with other League titles and it would be tempting to knock it out in a single volume.

This would collect Justice League Task Force (1993) #1-37 & 0 (June 1993 – Aug 1996) and the “Judgement Day” crossover with Justice League America (1989) #89-90 and Justice League International (1993) #65-66.

Justice League: Extreme Justice (1995 – 2000) [could include Living Assault Weapons]

Mirroring Marvel’s move to dissolve Avengers West Coast to form “Force Works” in 1994, in 1995 DC ended Justice League International (1993) in favor of an “Extreme” version of the League. Captain Atom splintered off to form a more proactive Justice League that included Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, and Firestorm, among others.

Again, it’s entirely possible the main Justice League omnibus line would extend to include this series, but it was wholly separate from other league books without any crossovers.

This would collect the complete series of Extreme Justice (1995) #0-18 (Jan 1995 – Jul 1996). Additionally, it could add The L.A.W. (Living Assault Weapons) (1999) #1-6 (Sep 1999 – Feb 2000), a mini-series focused on DC’s former Charleton characters, including Captain Atom and Blue Beetle, during the 1997 run of JLA.

Justice League: JLA (1997) The Complete Omnibus Vol. 1 (1996 & on) [re-collects Morrison JLA without skipping]

DC’s 2020 omnibus of Grant Morrison’s run on JLA was one of their most-contentious mapping decisions of all time.

Instead of collecting an unbroken run of the acclaimed and beloved series, DC mirrored the incomplete mapping of a clumsy set of 2008-2010 hardcovers rather than the newer 2011-2017 paperbacks, collecting only the Morrison issues of the title – leaving several big gaps!

While some folks want a “Morrison Companion” to gather those excluded issues, others have no interest in flipping back and forth between two omnibuses to read a single series. If you are one of the latter folks, this book is for you!

It would likely collect some or all of JLA (1997) #1-31, JLA Secret Files [& Origins] (1997) #1, JLA/WildC.A.T.s ”Crime Machine” (1997) OGN, JLA: Tomorrow Woman (1998) #1, JLA 80-Page Giant (1998) #1, JLA: Paradise Lost (1998) #1-3, and JLA Gallery (1997).

It might also add other Morrison material or non-Morrison mini-series or OGNs from the period.

JLA by Grant Morrison fits here. Blech.

Justice League: JLA (1997) by Mark Waid (1998 – 2001) [AKA JLA Vol. 2 or Morrison Companion; includes one-shots & minis]

As opposed to the previous option, you might already own the JLA by Grant Morrison omnibus and just want a book to fill in everything that’s missing!

At minimum, this would include the 13 skipped issues from Morrison’s omnibus: JLA (1997) #18-21 (by Waid), 27 (by Millar) 32-33 (by Waid), & 35 (by J. M. DeMatteis), Annual 1-3, plus JLA Secret Files [and Origins] (1997) #2-3.

This could then continue onward to collect 19 further issues of JLA (1997) #43-60 & Annual 4 (by Brian K. Vaughan) and other contemporaneous Waid material, including JLA: Heaven’s Ladder (2000) OGN SC.

Or… here’s where things get interesting.

There’s actually a lot of material – both by Morrison and other authors – that occurred alongside his run through May 2000. Rather than include Waid’s entire solo run continuing from issue #43, it could make sense to focus on all of that supporting material! Here’s a list from nextimaginaut on the Near Mint Condition Discord:

    • Justice League: A Midsummer’s Nightmare (1996) #1-3 by Mark Waid
    • Aztek: The Ultimate Man (1996) #1-10 by Morrison
    • JLA Gallery (1997) #1
    • Young Heroes in Love (1997) #1,000,000 (missing from both the Morrison omni and the DC One Million Omni)
    • JLA 80-Page Giant (1998) #1-3
    • JLA: Paradise Lost (1998) #1-3 by Mark Miller
    • GirlFrenzy! JLA: Tomorrow Woman #1 (1998) by Tom Peyer
    • JLA: Year One (1998) #1-12 by Mark Waid
    • Hourman (1999) #10 (Justice Legion A cameo) & 11-13 (direct DC One Million tie-in)

That’s 37 issues of companion material! And, that’s not even all of the JLA material from this period, just the material that closely ties in with Morrison and Waid.

Could DC manage to cram all of that into one book? Possibly, and especially if they cut Aztek. Or, we could actually be looking at TWO BOOKS, mapped like this:

JLA by Morrison Companion: JLA (1997) #18-21, 27, 32-33, 35, Annual 1-3, JLA Secret Files [and Origins] (1997) #2-3, Aztek: The Ultimate Man (1996) #1-10, JLA Gallery (1997) #1, Young Heroes in Love (1997) #1,000,000, JLA 80-Page Giant (1998) #1-3, JLA: Paradise Lost (1998) #1-3, GirlFrenzy! JLA: Tomorrow Woman #1 (1998), Hourman (1999) #10-13

JLA by Mark Waid: JLA (1997) #43-60 & Annual 4, Justice League: A Midsummer’s Nightmare (1996) #1-3, JLA: Year One (1998) #1-12, and JLA: Heaven’s Ladder (2000) OGN SC.

Do you need to have a stance on all of this to vote for this book? Absolutely not. Just vote for it if you want something that fits next to and/or after the Morrison omnibus. If this winds up near the top of the poll, maybe Omar and I will convene a “Map My League” show to work it all out!

Justice League: JLA (1997) by Joe Kelly & Dennis O’Neil (2001 – 2004) [AKA JLA vol. 3, includes one-shots and minis]

Once we get past the problem-era of Morrison and Waid, JLA becomes much simpler to collect.

This would collect JLA (1997) #61-93, aligning with the break points in the paperback line, as well as mini-series and one-shots from the era, like JLA: Incarnations (2001) #1-7, JLA: Our Worlds at War (2001) #1, and the “Justice Leagues” one-shots.

Justice League: JLA (1997) – Road to Infinite Crisis (2004 – 2006) [AKA JLA Vol. 4, includes Claremont, Austen, Busiek, & Johns; could include Elite]

This volume would conclude the JLA (1997) series, including brief runs by Claremont, Austen, Busiek, & Johns.

This would collect JLA (1997) #94-125, JLA Secret Files 2004 (2004) #1, and potentially also Justice League Elite (2004) #1-12 (since some issues cross this run and it would otherwise be abandoned).

Justice League Omnibus Mapping – Infinite Crisis to Flashpoint

Right now, our shelves of Post-Infinite Crisis comics are barren when it comes to Justice League! Luckily, we should only need four volumes to cover this entire period. To see how this material has already been collected, see Guide to Justice League.

Justice League: JLA Classified (2005 – 2008)

This series launched before Infinite Crisis and ran for nearly two years prior to the event. It was a prestige, creator-driven series featuring a rotating cast creative teams on each arc with none repeating. To my knowledge, there were no crossovers with this series – so it really does make sense to collect it as a single one-and-done volume!

This would collect JLA: Classified (2005) #1-54.

Justice League of America, Vol. 1 (of 2) by Meltzer & McDuffie (2006 – 2009)

In the wake of Infinite Crisis, JLA relaunched as Justice League of America (2006). This was a “One Year Later” title that picked up after the return of DC’s Trinity of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman from their absence from the DC Universe.

The first volume would likely collect Justice League of America (2006) #1-34, plus Justice Society of America (2007) #5-6, and Justice League Wedding Special (2007) #1.

The second volume would likely collect Justice League of America (2006) #35-60, Justice Society of America (2007) #41-43, Starman/Congorilla (2011) #1, and potentially all of the “Rise and Fall” storyline (Green Arrow [I] (2010) #31-32, Justice League of America (2006) #43, Justice League: The Rise & Fall Special (2010) #1 and Justice League: The Rise of Arsenal (2010) #1-4).

Note that issue #55 was nominally part of the “Reign of Doomsday” story, but none of the connecting issues were included in the original Justice League of America collection, so I don’t think they are required here – it is mostly a Metropolis story. It could also optionally include Justice League: Cry for Justice (2009) #1-7 and Faces of Evil: Prometheus (2009) #1.

Justice League: Generation Lost by Keith Giffen & Judd Winnick (2010 – 2011) [could include Power Girl issues and/or Cry for Justice]

This title spun out of Brightest Day and reunited members of the old Justice League International/Europe era. This has previously been collect in a pair of hardcovers with no additional material included.

This would collect Justice League: Generation Lost (2010) #1-24 and a crossover with Power Girl (2009) #20-21, although there’s an argument to be made for it to contain the entire lead-up story from Power Girl (2009) #13-19, or parallel issues of Booster Gold (2007) (which could include some or all of #32-43, though none of those are direct crossovers).

Since this is relatively short, this could also be the place for Justice League: Cry for Justice (2009) #1-7 and Faces of Evil: Prometheus (2009) #1, though they don’t really connect with this title at all.

Justice League Omnibus Mapping – New 52 & Rebirth

The primary Justice League (2011) series from the New 52 has been completely collected in omnibus, as have a pair of Justice League Dark series from 2011 and 2018! However, all of the League’s other comics from this period have yet to be recollected beyond their initial trade paperbacks. To see the existing four omnibuses and how this material has already been collected, visit the Guide to Justice League.

Justice League United: International & America, The New 52 Omnibus (2011 – 2016) [collects International, America, & United]

This hefty book would collect all of the geography-specific League content from the New 52 era into one place, despite them being four very different runs.

Yeah, that’s 59 issues. Do you know what else is in the 60-issue range? BOTH of the Justice League Dark omnibuses! DC is better at book sales than Marvel. They know when to do a massive one-and-done book that will sell through its print run and when to break things up into smaller pieces that will each move units.

In this case, there’s nothing specifically notable about any of this content, so it makes perfect sense to put it all into one book.

This would collect Justice League International (2011) #1-12 & Annual 1, Justice League of America (2013) #1-14 & 7.1-4, Justice League United (2014) #0-16 & Annual 1, and Justice League of America (2015) #1-10

Justice League: The Rebirth Omnibus by Hitch & Priest (2016 – 2018) [fits before Snyder/Tynion]

This is an obvious run to collect all in one place! The initial 33 issues were written (and often drawn) by Bryan Hitch. Hitch viewed each arc as it’s own mini-event, trying to pit the League against world-breaking problems that echoed the sort of things Hitch illustrated on his venerated run on Authority.

Then, Christopher Priest tightened the focus considerably, showing how one crucial mistake by the League could put their entire reputation – and all of Earth – in jeopardy.

Altogether it’s a very satisfying read. I think at the time it came off as somewhat staid and dull compared to other exciting things happening in Rebirth, but as a single collection I think it will feel incredibly epic.

This would collect Justice League (2016) Rebirth & #1-43. It could optionally add a crossover with Suicide Squad (2016) #8 (backup) & 9-10 that tie-in with Justice League vs. Suicide Squad (2016) #1-6.

Justice League of America, The Rebirth Omnibus by Steve Orlando (2017 – 2018)

Steve Orlando write a somewhat leaner, meaner version of the League anchored by Batman in the aftermath of Justice League vs. Suicide Squad.

This would collect Justice League of America (2017) #1-29 and its lead-in one-shots (Justice League of America Rebirth, The Ray Rebirth, Vixen Rebirth, The Atom Rebirth, and Killer Frost Rebirth). Optionally, it could begin with Justice League vs. Suicide Squad (2016) #1-6, which is effectively “Volume 0” of this title.]

Justice League by Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV Vol. 1 starts here, slightly ahead of the next book.

Justice League Odyssey by Williamson & Abnett (2018 – 2020)

In the wake of a mini-reset of Justice League: No Justice (2018) at the beginning of 2018, the League splintered into three books – the main League book (by Scott Snyder, covered below), Justice League Dark (by James Tynion, already in omnibus), and this third title.

In a way, Justice League Odyssey was the most interesting of all three of these high-quality runs, but also the most troubled and ignored by fans. It followed a displaced quartet of Cyborg, Green Lantern – Jessica Cruz, Azreal, and Starfire as they were stranded deep in space. There, they seemed doomed to bear witness to the rebirth of Darkseid without any recourse to stop it.

This series was originally meant to be launched by Joshua Williamson, who was the third of the co-writers on “No Justice.” However, it was actually launched by Dan Abnett, who later left the series and was replaced by… Joshua Williamson!

I think the creator switch and the dense material of this series made it the least popular of the three books, but upon reflection it’s an outstanding read. The story is a rare time loop that makes sense and the handoff from Abnett back to Williamson is seamless. This would be a lot of fun to have in a single omnibus.

This would collect Justice League Odyssey (2018) #1-25.

Justice League by Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV Vol. 2 fits here.

Justice League: The Rebirth Omnibus by Venditti, Spurrier, Williamson, & Bendis (2020 – 2022) [fits after Snyder/Tynion]

After the conclusion of Scott Snyder’s multi-year, time-spanning epic that helped to further smooth DC’s continuity back into a single story, a series of other others took over for brief runs on the League leading up to Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths in 2022.

This would collect Justice League (2018) #40-75, Annual 2, Annual 2022, and Endless Winter (from Justice League: Endless Winter (2022) #1-2, The Flash (2016) #767, Superman: Endless Winter Special (2020) #1, Aquaman (2016) #66, Justice League (2020) #58, Teen Titans: Endless Winter Special (2020) #1, Justice League Dark (2018) #29, and Black Adam: Endless Winter Special (2020) #1).

That’s 45 issues, which is perfectly fitting for a modern DC Omnibus – especially considering that none of these runs break 20 issues on their own. However, it could optionally also add Justice League vs. The Legion of Super-Heroes (2022) #1-6, which was written by Bendis and works as an extra arc of his run.

Note that Ram V back-ups from Justice League (2018) #59-71 exclusively featured Justice League Dark and are already collected in the Justice League Dark omnibus.

After this, Justice League went on a two year hiatus, not returning until Justice League Unlimited (2024), which is only in its second arc.

Trinity Omnibus Mapping:
The Batman / Superman / Wonder Woman Team-Ups, Pre-Flashpoint

Team-ups between Batman and other heroes are sometimes more popular than Batman’s own solo material! We’ve had several omnibuses of World’s Finest, Brave and the Bold, and Batman & Superman’s 2003 series. That leaves us with less uncovered material for our Trinity than we have for many other solo characters!

Batman & Superman – World’s Finest, The Silver Age Omnibus Vol. 3 (1967 – 1970) [final Silver volume]

We don’t need a Golden Age line of this title, because it is collected in the all-inclusive Batman Golden Age Omnibus line.

Silver Age Volume 1 collects World’s Finest [Comics] (1941) #71-116, and Volume 2 continues through #158. That means we’re looking at about 40 issues to reach the Bronze Age at #199 or #202. Both of the prior volumes were that big, so I think this one can be too!

This would collect World’s Finest [Comics] (1941) #159 to 199 or 202.

Batman & Superman – World’s Finest, The Bronze Age Omnibus Vol. 1 (1970 & on)

This would continue from the final volume of the Silver Age line to collect from either World’s Finest [Comics] (1941) #200 or 203 through 300. That makes this tricky to map, since prior World’s Finest volumes were 40+ issues… but these would need to be fifty issues! Would DC go even bigger, or split this into three volumes?

Batman / Superman – World’s Finest, The Post-Crisis Omnibus (1990 – 2009)

While Batman and Superman had many team-ups after Crisis on Infinite Earths, many of them were simply labeled “Batman/Superman” and were their own self-contained series by specific creator teams.

This omnibus would collect four 1990s-era World’s Finest series, adding a 2009 series plus a connecting “Vampires and Werewolves” mini-series.

This would collect World’s Finest (1990) #1-3, Legends of the World’s Finest (1994) #1-3, Superboy/Robin: World’s Finest Three (1996) #1-2, Batman and Superman: World’s Finest (1999) #1-10, Superman and Batman vs. Vampires and Werewolves (2008) #1-6, and World’s Finest (2009) #1-4.

Batman / Superman / Wonder Woman: Trinity by Kurt Busiek (2008 – 2009) [the weekly series]

This would collect all of the weekly series Trinity (2008) #1-52, including Trinity A-Stories and back-up features. I think it would make sense to collect the back-up features as interstitial stories between arcs of the primary Trinity story.

Even with back-up features, issues were usually 20-22 story pages plus cover, so even if they were all maximum length this would be a 1196 page omnibus. DC has shown a willingness to go that big on their mid-2000s books in the past, so it seems feasible here.

Wonder Woman & Superman by J. Michael Straczynski (2010 – 2011) [AKA WW by Simone Companion]

Not really a team-up per se, but J. Michael Straczynski wrote both Wonder Woman and Superman just prior to Flashpoint and it makes perfect sense to collect both books together.

This would collect JMS’s brief run of Wonder Woman (1942 / 2010) #600-614 and a mirrored run on Superman (2006) #700-714. It could also include Blackest Night: Wonder Woman (2009) #1-3, the non-reprint stories in DC Retroactive: Wonder Woman – The 70s, The 80s, The 90s, and Wonder Woman’s material from Wednesday Comics (2009) #1-12.

Trinity Omnibus Mapping:
The Batman / Superman / Wonder Woman Team-Ups, Post-Flashpoint

Batman / Superman by Greg Pak, The New 52 Omnibus (2013 – 2016)

This would collect Batman / Superman (2013) #1-32 & Annual 1-2, issues #33-34 which were only released in trade format, Batman/Superman: Futures End (2014) #1, and a concluding crossover with Action Comics (2011) #51-52 (also by Pak).

Superman / Wonder Woman, The New 52 Omnibus (2013 – 2016) [includes Doomed]

During New 52, Wonder Woman was romantically linked to Superman – which lead to them having their own ongoing team-up title for the first time.

This would collect Superman/Wonder Woman #1-31 & Annual 1-2, Wonder Woman: Futures End (2014) #1, and Superman/Wonder Woman: Futures End (2014) #1. Annual 1 continues directly to Action Comics (2011) Annual 3. Then, the “Doomed” crossover would add Action Comics (2011) #30-35 & Annual 3, Batman/Superman (2013) #11, Supergirl (2011) #34-35, Superman (2011) #30, & Superman: Doomed (2014) #1-2.

Optionally, “Savage Dawn” would add Action Comics (2011) #48-50, Superman (2011) #48-50. & Annual 3. That rolls directly into “The Final Days of Superman,” which would add Action Comics (2011) #51-52, Batman/Superman (2013) #31-32, and Superman (2011) #51-52.

Worlds’ Finest, The New 52 Omnibus by Paul Levitz (2012 – 2015) [AKA Worlds’ Finest: Huntress & Powergirl]

Okay, this isn’t Batman and Superman  – but, it is Huntress and Power Girl, with several appearances by Bruce and Clark (including a final arc focused on them).

This would collect Worlds’ Finest (2012) #0-32 & Annual #1, Worlds’ Finest: Futures End #1, and Batman/Superman (2013) #8-9.

Batman / Superman / Wonder Woman: Trinity, The Rebirth Omnibus (2016 – 2018) [includes Brave and the Bold 2018]

This would collect Trinity (2016) #1-22 & Annual 1. Since that’s on the short side, it could add the contemporaneous The Brave and the Bold: Batman and Wonder Woman (2018) #1-6 by Liam Sharp.

Batman / Superman by Joshua Williamson & Gene Luen Yang, The Rebirth Omnibus (2019 – 2021)

This would collect Batman / Superman (2019) #1-22 & Annual 1-2.

I think there’s a world where it could make sense to simply combine this with the Trinity omnibus, above, but since they’re two separate series by two different creative teams we have them listed separately on the poll.

Also, commenter Trey points out this could be a good place to collect Batman: Universe (2019) #1-6, written by Brian Bendis with Nick Derington art.

Batman & Superman – World’s Finest by Mark Waid & Dan Mora (2022 & on)

This would collect the still-ongoing fan-favorite Batman/Superman: World’s Finest (2022) by Mark Waid. While we generally try to avoid including ongoing titles in the poll, this run has progressed far enough that DC could reasonably release a first omnibus and still have plenty of material left over for a second.

A first volume of this would collect Batman/Superman: World’s Finest (2022) #1-24 and World’s Finest: Teen Titans (2023) #1-6. While it could add Annual 1/2024 and #25-30, they are very much the kickoff of Year Two of this book.

Then, a second volume would collect Batman/Superman: World’s Finest (2022) #25 and onward, as well as Batman and Robin: Year One (2024) #1-10 – which is really just an arc of this book without Superman.

    What did Generation Lost ever do to deserve these attempts to inflict Cry For Justice onto it?

    I would move Justice League of America (2006) 35-37 to volume 1 and collect Cry For Justice, Justice League of America 38-60, Justice Society of America 41-43, Rise and Fall, Starman/Congorilla and Faces of Evil: Prometheus as Justice League by James Robinson. Cry For Justice leads into Robinson’s JLA run and Rise and Fall is a sequel to Cry For Justice. Put all that bad in one book for the weirdos who want it
