stories have been reprinted as collected editions. This section lists only reprints from ongoing series, miniseries, etc. All of these stories have been issued in trade paperback format unless noted otherwise. DC Archive Editions All DC Archive Editions are hardcover only and printed on high quality archival paper. The Batman ChroniclesThe Batman Chronicles book series planned to reprint every Batman adventure in color, in chronological order, and in affordable trade paperbacks, but was cancelled before it could do so. It is not to be confused with the also now-cancelled comic book series of the same name. Showcase Presents All Showcase Presents collections are large (over 500 pages) softcover-only and black-and-white-only reprints. Batman newspaper comic strip collections The following collections reprint the two Batman newspaper comic strips of 1943–1946 and 1966–1973. Modern Batman The following trade paperbacks are stories that run through the "contemporary" books of the Batman family. The earliest trade paperback, chronologically speaking, is Frank Miller's "Batman: Year One" story arc, which rebirthed the character in the Modern Age, retelling the first year of his existence, including who he was and how he came to be. These stories are from comic books that are still being published and are, in a sense, still ongoing. They are listed here in the chronology of the story lines, rather than the publication dates of either the original comics or collections. The two trade paperback series Batman: The Caped Crusader and Batman: The Dark Knight Detective reprint most of the Post-Crisis issues of Batman and Detective Comics, respectively. However, both Caped Crusader and Dark Knight Detective feature eight major omissions: Dark Knight Detective omits Detective Comics #575–578 ("Batman: Year Two") and its sequel Batman: Full Circle and Caped Crusader omits the entire Max Alan Collins Batman run and the fill-in Batman issues that were published in between the Collins and Jim Starlin runs (the majority of which were previously reprinted in Batman: Second Chances, along with the Collins Penguin story in Batman Annual #11). Caped Crusader also omits several major Batman stories in its run, most notably Alan Moore's Clayface III story from Batman Annual #11, Batman: The Killing Joke and its sequel Batman #426–429 ("A Death in the Family"), and Batman #440–442/The New Titans #60–61 ("A Lonely Place of Dying"). Five of these eight omissions are also referred to in the two series' respective sections below. The New 52 Batman In 2011,
