I’ve heard concern in the past that DC might do to their Golden Age Omnibus line the same thing they did to the Chronicles and Archives, end them before finishing the era. The third volume of Batman Omnibus had already passed up the total material in the Chronicles series and with the fourth volume we are just a few issues short of matching the final Batman comic reached by the Batman: The Dark Knight Archives. Detective Comics, on the other hand, made it all the way to issue 170 in the Archives. It was a fairly long run but still short of the total Golden Age Batman comics. The 5th Batman Omnibus volume is already scheduled for release in June 2018. This is definitely the premier release of the Batman Golden Age era particularly given the fact that the dimensions of the pages are the size of a Deluxe Edition book rather than the smaller Archive Editions. The paper quality is also higher than the Archive Editions and certainly higher than the Chronicles.

The presentation of the Golden Age Batman stories is better than ever but the material itself is decent, at best. There is no paper of such high quality that it can cause this rough artwork to shine. Most of the stories are forgettable. For every appearance of a name villain there are a handful of stories featuring nondescript, low rent crooks. Even stories featuring characters like The Penguin and The Cavalier were just ok. I always read these volumes cover to cover but I’d be flat out lying if I said they were riveting. I buy these volumes for historical value not for pure entertainment. I’m not bashing Batman Golden Age stories. There are very few stories from the dawn of superhero comics that stand out regardless of who the hero is. For the price, you do get a ton of material and I can sometimes get into the era even if I know I won’t remember the story in a week or so. Regardless of my feelings about the content I give these Omnibus editions five stars because the presentation is so well done and the Golden Age certainly deserves to be preserved.

VERY silver age-y and a bunch of the stories are ridiculous, even for batman, but its overall a good time. Probably give it closer to 5 stars but the reprinting quality was a decent bit worse for some of these. Not a big deal.

This volume takes Batman through the end of World War Two into the immediate post-war period. The book is high quality.

Volume 4 collects material from 1944 to 1946 and shows Batman at his Golden Age best. The crudity of the early years has been left behind; the comic is now a finely tuned machine, the art is better than ever before and the writers have risen to the challenge of telling a mystery-thriller in 12 pages. If you're used to the grim post-1970s Batman, you need to understand that these comics had a different aim and audience. They were written for kids and barely literate servicemen and should be considered children's literature. That is not an insult; editor Jack Schiff (who happened to be a socially conscious Stalinist) took his work seriously and its shows in the craftsmanship of these tales. Most were written by the two greatest Golden Age bat-scribes, Bill Finger (Batman's co-creator) and Don Cameron. Finger's stories demonstrate his wide-ranging research and eclectric imagination, while Cameron's display his customary light humor and heart. A third notable writer is Alvin Schwartz, an intellectual whose stories have a veneer of clever sophistication. The art is by another set of stars: Dick Sprang, the most dynamic and stylized Batman artist of the Golden Age; Jerry Robinson, distinguished for his graceful, flowing figures; and Win Mortimer, whose style was more illustrative and down-to-earth. The least impressive artwork is credited to "Bob Kane and Ray Burnley," but that is a mistake. Kane did not draw any stories in this volume (he was busy with the Batman newspaper strip). The artwork is actually by Paul Cooper, a journeyman artist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Batman clássico na veia

Reviewed in Brazil on February 20, 2019

Histórias clássicas do morcego com o garoto prodígio. Sem dúvida vale a pena, é o tipo de material que você nunca vai ver ou ter no Brasil por editora nacional. Até porque uma parte dos que se dizem colecionador tem preguiça de ler e vão reclamar dos diálogos. Muito satisfeito com minha edição e recomendo para que gosta de clássico.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr guter Reprint alter Geschichten

Reviewed in Germany on January 20, 2018

Wie auch die anderen Bücher der Omnibus Reihe ist auch dieses Buch ein sehr guter Reprint der alten Comics, die hier in großem Format hervoragend gedruckt sind. Wer keine Angst hat die Comics auf Englisch zu lesen, findet hier weitere alte Batman und Robin Geschichten aus dem ersten Jahrzehnt, die man sonst kaum noch findet. Interssant ist ja immer, wie sich der Zeichnstil, aber auch die Persönlichkeit von Batman und Robin,über die Jahrzehnte verändert. Dazu kommt dann auch noch das Ansprechen des Zeitgeistes in den Geschichten, das uns heute manchmal schon etwas kurios erscheint. Ich habe, wie auch schon in den anderen drei Omnibusausgaben, interessiert darin gelesen.
Der Preis des Buches ist zwar nicht ganz niedrig, aber wer es einmal in den Händen gehalten hat, der kann ihn verstehen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incrível

Neste volume 4 dos Omnibus do Batman da era de ouro já vemos um ambiente estabelecido em Gotham e que daria o tom para toda sua história até os dias de hoje. Incrível poder ler esta fase que deu as bases a todo universo do morcego.

5.0 out of 5 stars A bit kitsch, but enjoyable none the less.

Thieves, murderers and spies themes aren't the forte of the golden era, but I found it surprisingly enjoyable.
