DC indicated Bat Lash would be a smaller Showcase at a cheaper price.

It would have been cool to have had the jay garrick run of Flash reprinted, but – would anyone except a few fanboys buy it compared ro the ones who’d buy the silver age adventures ( moreso because of the recent bringing back of Barry to the DCU ).

As for the SHOWCASE editions – I really doubt that they’ll release a “Bat Lash” edition, as most editions cover 20-25 issues – and the series itself only ran 5 or 6 issues PLUS an issue of Showcase, plus the odd guest appearance over the years. I’d expect if they are doing it, to release it in one of those special DC editions that they’ve used to reprint Kirby’s OMAC amongst other smaller run books or classic runs.

WARLORD – is an amazing idea, but I just doubt it. It’ll get cancelled at the last minute, you see.

[...] confirms that Flash Chronicles will feature Barry Allen. Since the Chronicles line of trade paperbacks is supposed to start at the beginning and run [...]

I was disappointed in that as well. The Chronicles are a cheap way to get those books in color.

I was really hoping the Flash Chronicles would be starting at the beginning with Jay instead of reprinting Barry’s adventures a third time (the Showcase and Archives series are both still available). Oh, well.
