They were supposed to come out last week but when I checked they hadn't shipped yet (at least not to my comic shop)...

[shadow=green,left,300] My comic book dealer informed me that DC cancelled them. They were solicited but not made, he's not sure why though. [/shadow]

Sadly, after weeks of asking, I just have been told that the digests are not delayed, but are cancelled. Apparently DC currently doesn't plan to do any more digests at this time, as they orders/sales were not what had been hoped for. And no, I don't have any specific figures for target sales or actual sales.
While there is always the possibility of collections of the material in different formats in the future, there are no set plans at this time.
Bottom line: If you want to see collected editions of The Batman Strikes, write to DC, and get your friends to do the same.

Thanks for the update, Chris.
I think we just might do that!

That's a bit of a shame, no matter, I'll still do my best to pick up any issue I can find

So now I can't rebuy BATMAN STRIKES #11 - 20 in the digest format? IWell, there goes a huge chunk of my Christmas presents to my younger family members. I suppose this also means digests for JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED have also been canned? What a shame...I loved these little format titles (plus it meant I could buy the digests for myuself and safely pack away the individual issues).
Darn.

I'd RATHER have full-size collections, both so the artwork doesn't get shrunk OR CROPPED! Note that the bottoms of the pages get trimmed slightly in the digest format. But I'd rather have the digests than NOTHING! It's VERY disappointing.

It's very, very disappointing. I enjoyed these collections, but I didn't notice the cropped artwork to be honest. I'd love to see full-size collections, as these seem to be the last books (both the DC and Marvel animated titles) that aren't collected. There are readers (raises hands) who would love to have all these collected.

I did enjoy the digests..my son really liked having them to carry around at all times...and like Jim said, thats a lot of Xmas presents I'd be buying from the comic shop that I now probably won't!
