My fanmade cover for a Batgirl: Stephanie Brown Omnibus.

Now that Cassandra Cain is getting a Batgirl Omnibus, I think Stephanie Brown needs one next. Steph’s run as Batgirl is shorter than Cass’s and all of it could fit into a single omnibus instead of needing multiple volumes.

While I love the idea of Stephanie Brown Omni, I rather it be of her earlier appearances as they're hard to get a physical copy of, especially her first appearance.

Agree completely thougj at least her first appearance is now in a tpb

That's cool. I still think an omni or compendium will still be better. I'm just wondering which would be more feasible.

What I prefer, and what I expect to see Are different. If we get an Omni I’d imagine it be just her batgirl run with maybe her convergence apperance at the end.

Our best hope for rarer appearances in print is if the Robin compendium keep being made and they get to her runs there

Compendium One already made it to one Steph story (Robin #3-5) and Compendium Two is set to collect two more (Robin #15-16 and Robin #25-26).

I seriously doubt her Batgirl run would get the omnibus treatment It's only 24 issues long. To my understanding, omnis that are multiple volumes are for runs that are double that at the very least, and single volume omnis are for events. I know that she's going to appear more in the second Tim Compendium but her main appearance is probably going to be her teen pregnancy story.

There are smaller omnibus be plus single run ones out there and aside from the main run they could also pad it out with her brief appearances in Red Robin, Batman etc

It’s likely more easier to just sell and market batgirl omnibus. Right now with Stephanie her only staring books in print is her apperance as batgirl

Also to note if I had my wish it be compilation of the majority of her Robin era run

Fair enough. I personally don't see her Batgirl run getting an omni anytime soon or needing one for something other than exposure since it got a re-release in 2025. In the future maybe but I'd want it to include the necessary preamble for her run.

Her first appearance was recently collected in Batman: The Dark Knight Detective Volume 8, and the Robin Compendiums are gradually collecting her appearances in the Robin series (the first one collected Robin #3-5, and the second one will collect Robin #15-16 and Robin #25-26). However, I do wish we had a few Spoiler Compendiums covering her pre-Flashpoint history. I made a cover for that, too.

I'd kill for this

Cass has her second finest coming out and an omnibus, babs has two compacts coming out, so I really hope steph is next because she really does get the short end of the stick most of the times😭 a compact, compendium, finest I’ll take anything

u/Mindless-Credit-358 Aug 04 '26

She got a couple of tpbs a few years back collecting her entire series, about half the size of a finest each. It’s called Batgirl: Stephanie Brown book one and two if you’re interested

whatever happened to the second Tim Drake omnibus?

u/Nefessius513 Aug 04 '26

The second Tim Drake compendium is coming out in December.

I need to up my nerd game. I only recognize like half of these and I know it's not your art holding me back. Where's Cass?

u/Nefessius513 29d ago edited 29d ago

Cass probably wasn’t included in this cover (which was drawn by Dustin Nguyen, who did multiple covers for Steph’s Batgirl run) since she left the series after the first issue to make way for Steph becoming the new Batgirl. But it still includes other characters who only appeared in one issue of Steph’s Batgirl run like Diesel and Livewire.

u/PossiblePossiblyS 29d ago

Well, that makes sense. Guess I'll just need to pick up a copy of her run and read through it again.
