Showing that those budget austerity measures are really hitting hard at DC, the publisher announced it would release a Batman Black and White Omnibus in January, a book with absolutely no colors! DC made the announcement on ICv2 Tuesday, revealing the 912-page omnibus will collect the previously collected Batman: Black & White Vol. 1, 2, and 3, except in a single volume that's harder to lift. Of course, Bleeding Cool actually revealed all of this several weeks ago, but at that time we didn't have the cover. Now we do, along with the price. So pip pip, ICv2.

Here's the solicit Rich Johnston fished out of a garbage can in an alley behind Diamond's headquarters in March:

Batman: Black & White Omnibus
by Jim Lee, Lee Bermejo, Sean Murphy, others

Get a healthy dose of noir-flavored stories featuring the Dark Knight in the Batman: Black & White Omnibus!

Presented in stark black-and-white tones that all too easily represent Batman's worldview comes this collection of the Dark Knight Detective's hard-boiled adventures. With stories and art by a stellar line up of comic industry creators including Neil Gaiman (The Sandman), Frank Miller (The Dark Knight Returns, Ronin), Jim Lee (Wildcats, Batman) and others, it's not surprising that this collection was awarded the comic industry's prestigious Eisner Award for excellence.

Collects Batman: Black and White #1-4, Batman: Black and White Vol. 2, Batman: Gotham Knights #17-49 and Batman: Black and White (2013) #1-6, with bonus cover art. 28 January 2020

And here, ICv2 lists creators whose work is reprinted in the massive tome as:

Neal Adams, Brian Azzarello, Lee Bermejo, Brian Bolland, Ed Brubaker, John Buscema, Cliff Chiang, Darwyn Cooke, Paul Dini, Warren Ellis, Harlan Ellison, Neil Gaiman, Dave Gibbons, Adam Hughes, Geoff Johns, Dave Johnson, Jim Lee, Dwayne McDuffie, Sean Murphy, Dennis O'Neil, Paul Pope, Alex Ross, Walter Simonson, Ryan Sook, Bruce Timm and others

The only problem is, you'll have to color this thing yourself, so get a nice set of crayons before the $125 book hits stores in January.

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
