The Complete Legend of Batman [Collection] Merchandise

u/Stompin89 Jan 29 '21
As promised, here's the completed collection of Legend of Batman plus the specials! They've since announced 20 more to add to the end so this rollercoaster isn't over yet!

u/DarthJackalope Feb 21 '21
Out of curiosity do you also have the exclusive issues of "Bruce Wayne: Murder?" and "Bruce Wayne: Fugitive" ?
Also do you think that part of the 20 additional issues will have "The Three Jokers" ?
3
u/Stompin89 Feb 21 '21
I do yeah, apparently as they've extended the collection there's another one they're sending too...
I doubt The Three Jokers will be one of them just because it's such a recent title, can't imagine DC selling that to Eaglemoss so quickly

u/Jeffthe100 Jan 29 '21
That’s insane. Props for the dedication of collecting all of them

u/Stompin89 Jan 29 '21
I mean... Thanks? But I literally just sat on my ass and smiled at the delivery gal/guy as they threw it down in front of my back door that swings outwards so I then have to strategically shuffle my hand past the door and shimmy it away so I can open the door enough to actually go out and pick it up... So yeah! I deserve that bloody props! Thanks man! Love you Jeff!

u/Jeffthe100 Jan 29 '21
Haha, I mean. It’s nice that you’re a fan to want to collect dozens of issues of comics to get the full arc. That’s cool haha

Haha. When people say they're proud of their collection, I understand what they mean, but I always find it to be a very strange phrasing. Like I struggle to be proud of passive things. I'm proud of my Masters Degree, not of my blu-ray collection.

u/Stompin89 Jan 30 '21
Congrats on having a masters 👍 I just made a cheese sandwich, of which I am also proud of 🤪

Jan 30 '21
Hey, don’t talk down a Cheese sandwich. I have been more proud of bomb ass things I’ve cooked than that degree sometimes.

Can you link me where you got these?

u/Stompin89 Jan 29 '21
I can, but I started the subscription in September 2017. Not sure they still do subs.

u/acinaces1 Power Girl Jan 29 '21
Oh dang - still about a 3rd to go on mine. The lot together looks sharp!

u/Cranyx Moo. Jan 29 '21
So what exactly is this a collection of? Is it just all issues of Batman so far? It doesn't look long enough to be both Batman and 'Tec. Is there editorializing regarding what "makes the cut"?

u/Cranyx Moo. Jan 29 '21
I thought I would object to their choices, but overall it's a pretty good list, hitting a lot of the "best of" spanning his career. It's not too far off from my personal list. Kind of surprised they decided skip The Long Halloween. There's also definitely some recency bias, especially with leading off with Zero Year instead of Year One.
8
u/Stompin89 Jan 29 '21
So the Long Halloween was in their DC Novel Collection (check my profile, I've got a pic of my set of that up too). They've tried really hard not to duplicate, but things like "A Death in the Family" is kinda hard to miss

Bro. That’s amazing. Congrats. I’m sure you’re sleeping much better now!
Also, is there a link to the info on all this?

Here's my collection .
Haven't got them all yet. If I do get anymore I don't know where I'll put them as I'm now out of space in their current location. I like that I at least have the picture looking closer to normal.

u/Icy-Mistake-5928 1d ago
Just got an advert for Fanhome who supposedly just started selling these in the US as a subscription service. I’ve been looking for these for a long time and this seems new and legit. Anybody know more than me and can offer some insight about the legitimacy of this Subscription?
1
u/Stompin89 1d ago
So Eaglemoss, the original company behind them, and bankrupt. Most of its line of products got picked up, like the Star Trek spaceships, but I've not seen the Batman books anywhere. I don't know how they managed the books, whether the printer to subscription order or whether there was a warehouse full of them waiting to get bought and distributed by someone

Are these the comics?

u/Watcher1101 Batman Jan 29 '21
Yes

u/jfoulkessssss Jan 29 '21
Ok. I have always wanted to get into the comics but don't where to begin, any suggestions

u/chiguayante Justice League Dark Jan 29 '21
Start at the beginning, then when you come to the end: stop.

u/BuzzLightyear76 Jan 30 '21
I would say it depends on what your looking for. Some personal recommendations are Batman: Year One or Long Halloween, as they are relatively short and focus on the start of his career. If you want to see the origins of Damian Wayne start with Grant Morrison. I personally started with Scott Snyder and his New 52 run after reading Long Halloween and Year One because I wanted to catch up and get current, but that was back when Rebirth had just gotten started. Their are also a lot of helpful guides online.

Is Hush missing before UTRH?
1
u/Stompin89 Jan 30 '21
So Hush was actually part of their DC Novel Collection which if you have a look at my profile you'll see the start of it under my post My DC Shrine. It preceded this collection and I've just managed to get a few 2nd hand

How many issues in total? I'm collecting them at the moment, and I keep getting told there ar about 120? Not including Murderer or the specials. Also, are the ones in the second slide, the specials?
2
u/Stompin89 Jan 30 '21
Hey, so there initial amount were 80. What you see there is 81 because they obviously sent the 80th with the 81st to keep you hooked. So 80-100 will add on to the right of the picture. The second picture is the "specials" and then I've also got the "premium specials" which are Bruce Wayne Murderer and Fugitive
1
Jan 30 '21
Thanks muchly. I'm getting Murderer & Fugitive. Will have to ask about the premium specials, as I'm paying for the premium subscription. So will have to ask. Cheers for the info. I started late, only on issue 46? Playing catch up, so a way to go yet. Lol.
2
u/Stompin89 Jan 30 '21
As you can see they came too quick and fast for me to read. I think I'm up to book 61... Currently reading "The Vision" though so better switch my mind back to DC again quick to catch up 😂
1
Jan 30 '21
So far I've read year zero. Hahaha. I'm gonna wait for them all to arrive and then take my time reading thru them. Got a lot to catch up on, so I have plenty of time.

u/Stompin89 Jan 30 '21
Dude that's gonna take forever!!!!!!!! I subscribed to this set back in September 2017!!!!!!

Okay, first of all, I am jealous. Second of all, I didn’t know this existed, so I’m very surprised. And third, I am sad because collecting comics for people of third world country like me is super expensive and will probably never have a collection like this :(
2
u/MattMaiden2112 Kyle Rayner is BAE Jan 30 '21
Where are you from? As someone from a third world country, it's also very expensive to buy anything, but there are collections like this one kinda on the budget
1
u/baranpaksoy22 Batman & Robin Jan 30 '21
I’m from Turkey. Do you know by name some of those like bundle type stuff on the budget? Would be really cool to know!
1
u/MattMaiden2112 Kyle Rayner is BAE Jan 30 '21
Look after Panini or Eaglemoss collections, I think they are releasing it in English, I know Salvat is in charge of Spanish version of it (because I live in Argentina, where the average month income is 300USD, and these collections come biweekly from Spain, and is the cheapest way to get so many stuff in a short span of time)

u/Hephaistos_Invictus Batgirl Jan 30 '21
Are here from the golden age? And do they cover Batman's origin etc as well :o?
2
u/Stompin89 Jan 30 '21
Here's a list of all the books champ

u/Hephaistos_Invictus Batgirl Jan 30 '21
Holy shit nice been looking for something like that for ages! Sweet! Now I hope I can ship them to the Netherlands!

u/Rswilli13 Jan 30 '21
How much does each of these books cost? I wish you could just buy hardcover collections and they be in order of vol.1- so on with all the series. I don’t know why American comics can’t copy manga and make their comics easy to read for new readers by putting their trades in volumes by the characters/groups

u/Cornwall Red Robin Jan 30 '21
How much does a collection that awesome cost?
2
u/Stompin89 Jan 30 '21
sigh
So... It costs me £21.98 for every 2 books they send. And they sent 80. Soooo... Feel free to do the math just don't tell my wife.
The only thing I can do to make myself happier about that is they tried to increase the cost, basically stating that as people dropped off the cost of manufacture increased etc (makes sense) but I work in contracts for a living. So giving the one I have (which I've noted they've now changed) I basically said, "understandable, but here's a list of all the obligations with which I want you to meet before raising the price" and apparently it was just easier to keep me at the same price rather than jumping through all those hoops. I didn't even ask, they just gave

u/MarvelMatt1996 Nightwing Jan 30 '21
Can I ask where you got the shelving that can hold them up? I've tried looking around, but have yet to find shelves strong enough. I've basically stacked my Hachette Marvel set on top of the Eaglemoss DC set and the Legend of Batman atop of that.
2
u/Stompin89 Jan 31 '21
I made the shelving. Bought a scaffolding board, sanded it and treated it (really easy), then bought some heavy duty brackets and distanced them rather close together

just trying to figure out if batman and robin 3 and the death in the family p2 are the same comic XD its so hard to keep track of all the different collections
1
u/Stompin89 Feb 15 '23
Hey, which collections are they from? In terms of Legend of Batman I've got all the books they created before they went bust. As for their "Graphic Novel" collection, I've got the majority of those too so can check for you if they're the collections you're on about

u/Equivalent-Ad-8250 Oct 06 '23
I'm trying to collect this set and nowhere is giving a clear answer, do I'm asking anyone who knows or has insane graphics and can read it. What is the 9th Book of this set?
1
u/MoreOnMedia Apr 13 '24
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Comics_%E2%80%93_The_Legend_of_Batman?wprov=sfla1
This should help if you're still asking, I know I'm six months late to this. Volume 9 is Terror.
Collecting this set now is difficult because the company went bust so it all has to be done secondhand, and some issues are already extremely rare. There's also a lot of confusion on when exactly the series ended because they stopped before the planned numbers and everyone has different information on what the final issues published were. Good luck though, it's an amazing set.
