Wanted TPB: The Bat, Zeus and the Snowman

Dork Note: Killer Croc was in the original "wanted list" for this TPB, but since then a TPB of his intial exploits has come out (see Batman Arkham: Killer Croc). I have replaced Killer Croc with Maxie Zeus.

I have noticed several of Batman's foes (Scarecrow, Two Face, Ra's al Ghul) have gotten TPBs dedicated to them. It's time to give Batman's monster foes the same treatment. I would just do it a little different and put them all in one book. A nice fat TPB!

I know you are asking...why the Snowman? Because it's amazing Batman has a "foe" called the Snowman and I really liked these stories as a kid.

Dork Note: Killer Croc got the same TPB treatment as  Scarecrow, Two Face, Ra's al Ghul, but it did not include key issues from his shadowy first appearances. Here are the issues I would have included for a COMPLETE Killer Croc first appearance run. Killer Croc: Detective Comics #523, Batman #357, Detective Comics #524, Batman #358, Detective Comics #525, Batman #359, and Detective Comics #526.
