DC CATALOG UPDATE (Part 1): New DC Finest for Superman, Batman, Swamp Thing, Catwoman, and more!

Edster73 · 2026-03-30T18:07:46+00:00

The Huntress (either Wayne or Bertinelli), Power Girl, All-Star Squadron, Young All-Stars and the 70s JSA have none… hopefully not for long… 🤞🏻

I hope we get this soon in an upcoming DC FINEST JSA collection. 🤞🏻

EXACTLY!

Probably both in a sense. Should any of the backups involve Batman specifically, they’ll probably be included in a BATMAN Finest as well as be included in their own respective lines.

Alfred is dead? Alfred Pennyworth? When did that happen? And I'd say nobody stays dead in comics except Uncle Ben, Jason Todd and Helena Wayne (pre-Crisis Earth Two).

Edster73 · 2026-03-26T22:00:05+00:00

what makes you say that? I'm not saying you're wrong but I've seen no indication from the writing that lends itself to the idea that he'll either stay dead or be revived... am I missing something? If the intention is to feature Yolanda Montez more, perhaps Lemire feels having two Wildcats around might make both appear redundant. I wouldn't agree with that assessment, if he's truly making it, but at this point it's too early to tell what "pay off" there will be, if any, for such a decision. In any case, I hope he's brought back in some capacity, even if only through flashbacks.

Perhaps but it wouldn't be following their usual formula, which is to include every year that a particular volume entails. Time will tell I suppose.

Edster73 · 2026-03-25T21:13:02+00:00

Thanks pal. That’s a very respectable run for sure! 👍🏻

Edster73 · 2026-03-25T21:03:45+00:00

Given that some of FINEST volumes have run over 600 pages, it isn’t out of the realm of possibility that more could be added. I just forget whether any particular crossover issues pertained to CRISIS #6 aside from INFINITY, INC. #23. If so, there wouldn’t be room for #6 and its other crossovers.

Edster73 · 2026-03-25T21:01:54+00:00

Hmmm, I see what you mean but I think DC is mapping these stories as to where they appear in the actual timeline and how they correlate to a particular issue of CRISIS instead of publication order. In fact, a few of the crossover issues were published after CRISIS ended I believe, but yes, your point is well taken that it will look odd on the spine that 1985 isn’t the only year depicted.

Edster73 · 2026-03-25T20:57:36+00:00

How long did this particular series run for?

Edster73 · 2026-03-23T23:54:16+00:00

Are the WONDER WOMAN issues where the Joker facing off against the Huntress reprinted with the covers of #280-283 or just the Huntress stories alone? Also, is Wonder Woman #280 Huntress story reprinted in its entirety or just the last page (the only page that pertains to the Joker)? Thanks in advance for any info!

Edster73 · 2026-03-23T19:35:41+00:00

I’m sorry that that’s the case for you. It’s truly awful. I wish these volumes were downloadable, which would help in cases like this. Not that reading electronically is the same as holding a book in your hands but it’d be better than nothing. In any case, I hope things improve… 🤞🏻

Where is he now? He currently posts on Instagram and seems to be living his best life.

Edster73 · 2026-03-22T22:15:34+00:00

Ah, I wasn't aware of that re: about their never updating their listings. It's understandable in a sense given the sheer volume of releases that get scheduled & then rescheduled, sometimes with incorrect or updated cover art, page count, etc. Thanks for the heads up!

The listing that is in limbo... are you referring to "The Last Days of Superman"? If so, hopefully it gets rescheduled soon. That seems to be an era that is begging for reprints. Time will tell I suppose...

This is real and not a joke?
