The stitching seems more secure in this Omnibus than it does in my copy of the Absolute edition. The pages of my Absolute edition are starting to come loose. Whereas my GM Batman Omni Vol. 1 (Sept 2018) and Omni vol. 2 (June 2019) are still holding up strong. And this GM Batman Omni Vol. 3 looks like the same great sturdy quality of the previous two Omnis.
Thankfully (unlike the Absolute Batman Incorporated) this book actually has bonus material. Not just bonus material from Batman Inc Deluxe Edition, but they added bonus material for the New 52 portion of the run. The original New 52 releases in HC & TPB had only included a variant cover gallery. Now we have NEW extra content by Chris Burnham as well as Grant Morrison. This Omnibus also includes Batman The Return (One-Shot) that was illustrated by David Finch.
If you haven’t already, you’re definitely going to want to pick up Batman by Grant Morrison volumes 1 & 2.

Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 2
I try my best to not go into heavy spoiler territory in my reviews, as I know there are folks new to this run. I will say that since Grant Morrison’s Batman run began, he has built up events that have come full circle in this final volume.
Batman is investigating a Global Terrorist organization called Leviathan. They have been showing up just about everywhere, and infesting everything. Batman enlists the help of the Batmen of All Nations, and starts recruiting his own Army of Batmen around the world to combat Leviathan.
If you’ve read Batman Incorporated in single issue form and collected trade as I have, you will have seen that towards the New52 portion of the run that there are pages that used fill-in artists.
It was a bit jarring to be enjoying Chris Burnham’s unique style, then suddenly be reading pages illustrated by other artists. We were treated to Chris Burnham going back to draw all the pages, that he previously was unable to for the Absolute Edition. Thankfully this book includes all the redrawn Burham pages that were done for the Absolute. Chris Burham also redrew into the flashback scenes that referenced the 70’s Batman stories. When Batman Inc was published during the New 52, events from classic 70s Batman comics were made to show Batman wearing his New52 costume. Now they are redrawn with Batman as intended with the 70s Blue Cape and Cowl, and classic Yellow Oval as intended.
Many fans were unsure if this Omnibus would also include Batman Inc issue #11 written by Chris Burham, as well as the Batman Incorporated Special written by guest writers. Rest assured they both are included within this book.
This Omnibus has been printed in a beautiful Deluxe size. The binding, stitching and page quality all look solid and secure. The page color actually looks more vibrant than previous releases. The paper is a nice semi-gloss stock. Nice and easy on the eyes.
Grant Morrison’s Batman run is my all-time favorite Batman story ever. This spanning saga has so many layers. It gets better with every re-read. I discover some hidden detail that I’d not noticed before. Revelations within this book actually change the way certain events from earlier portions of Morrison's Batman run are perceived.
All I can say is, if you’re willing to invest the time in Grant Morrison’s Batman run, there’s a good chance that you’ll fall in love with it just as I have. You will find that you want to return and begin again, and enjoy many re-reads.

Having read the story at least three times, I still find it very confusing, and I don’t think it’s my poor reading comprehension. Morrison is capable of telling a coherent story but sometimes it’s like he loses patience and starts telling his story like a breathless eight-year-old. It certainly is possible to tell a story with a lot of wheels and gears going at the same time, but I really think Morrison let the plot get away from him. His earlier work with Batman was received a ton of praise (along with some serious criticism) but for the most part I either liked it or loved it. During this time, the professional reviewers started becoming more disenchanted with Morrison’s work. It’s an almost inevitable progression. Alan Moore’s early work on Swamp Thing was much better than his later stories. After three or four years, Marv Wolfman’s quality of work on Teen Titans dropped dramatically. I didn’t realize until I read this book that Morrison spent seven years on Batman, and it really feels like he’s spent.
One big issue I have is with the artwork of Chris Burnham. I’m not saying it’s terrible although it is sometimes inconsistent. It just doesn’t work with the very dark story that Morrison is writing that features a TON of brutal deaths and speaking of brutal deaths. Morrison created an absolutely fantastic character in Damian Wayne and his quick brutish death felt awful. Perhaps my favorite part of Morrison’s run was the lengthy teamup of Damian and Dick Grayson and to kill Damian seemed like a tremendous miscalculation. In the end, it didn’t matter since DC simply brought Damian back, but it felt like a major blunder on Morrison’s part.
Even if this third volume is easily the weakest of the three, it’s still better than a vast majority of writers who’ve taken on Batman. It also has some fantastic extras and really shows how much research Morrison puts into his writing. Morrison definitely has his detractors (and occasionally I’m one of them) but he really is phenomenally talented and incredibly passionate. For better or for worse, Morrison really redefined Batman. Unfortunately, future writers who tried to emulate Morrison almost always did it with a far less deft stroke. These three volumes encompass Morrison’s full seven year run (his longest run on any character) and I do think it’s fairly essential for a DC fan.
contains vague statements. The storytelling and craft has been excellent and really consistent throughout Morrison' run of Batman. Characters have very clear motivations and grow in very subtle but meaningful ways. The depth of these characters, even the smaller ones, is awesome. The big comic book confrontations here is what this series has been leading up to and is really rewarding and fun. I do have some slight issues however, for the last half of this book is outstanding and the first half has some pacing issues and can be jumpy to get to certain scenes. I think in another book it'd be more jarring but because this is a continuation of a superb run these issues easily get overshadowed by the compelling story that picks up in the later half. Lots of pay offs in here that everyone has been waiting for!!

There is also the exploration of Batman's never ending mission, an Ouroboros, the snake that devours itself and the Dark mother archetype in Talia. Those are subtextual facets best read and pondered upon.
Just a fantastically put together set of omnibi and a pleasure to own for aesthetics, book build and of course content.
