Now we know what the first DC Finest volume of 2027 will be, and it’s a big surprise… because we also had an announcement of this same material in an omnibus just last week! That’s right, DC Comics are keeping up their trend of releasing some of the most hotly-demanded material in both oversize hardcover omnibus and paperback DC Finest during the same quarter with the announcement of: DC Finest Batgirl – Silent Knight.
DC Finest Batgirl: Silent Knight was the #4 most-wanted DC Finest volume era in the Most-Wanted DC Finest Poll… and, of course, the #1 Tigereyes DC Most-Wanted Omnibus for two years running.
When fans saw the contents of DC Finest Batgirl: Nobody Dies Tonight, we had some questions. That book begins with Batgirl (2000) #7. Why start a DC Finest for a character on the second arc of her first comic… when DC Finest volumes are typically 500-640 pages long?!
In the year since that volume was released, we intrepid mappers have figured some things out – which were exactly confirmed by the contents of this book and the companion omnibus. Essentially, the true first arc of Cassandra Cain are her origins in the Batman Event “No Man’s Land.” Once we calculated those issues as part of the DC Finest mapping, everything made perfect sense.
Also in that same period, DC figured something out, too: Cassandra Cain is in high demand! Despite DC Finest Batgirl – Nobody Dies Tonight coming out as the 2025 Tigereyes Most-Wanted DC Omnibus Poll was happening, that was the year that Cass’s omnibus took the #1 spot. And, in the year between its release and this year’s Tigereyes poll, that first volume sold out and went back to a second printing.
Meanwhile, Cass topped the Tigereyes poll again. Plus, she nabbed two of the Top 10 spots in the first ever Most-Wanted DC Finest Poll just two months ago – one for this volume, and one for a volume to follow Nobody Dies Tonight.
Based on all of that, it’s no surprise that DC put this volume on the schedule at the very top of 2027. [Read more…] about DC Comics Announcement: DC Finest Batgirl – Silent Knight
