Elseworlds: Batman Omnibus Vol. 1
Part of the DC Omnibus guide — every release, in reading order
The Dark Knight reimagined across worlds that never were and futures that may yet come.
Step into the shadows of alternate realities where Gotham's protector is reborn again and again in twisted, wondrous, and unexpected forms. Elseworlds: Batman Omnibus Vol. 1 collects some of the most imaginative and genre-bending tales in DC history, where familiar myths are fractured and reassembled into something entirely new. Witness Batman hunt Jack the Ripper in Victorian London, wield a Green Lantern ring, battle Dracula as a creature of the night, and face terror as a Frankenstein-like experiment gone wrong. With appearances from Catwoman, Robin, Houdini, and even an apocalyptic Brotherhood of the Bat, this omnibus showcases the boundless creativity of the Elseworlds line, where the only rule is that there are no rules.
