the only things i can think of are Batman and the Outsiders was collected in a Showcase trade. there's a Tim Sale collection in the works that i heard about and a Frank Miller collection thats coming out. you might be thinking of Batman Chronicles, but the trades arent issues from the series, Batman Chronicles, they are trades collecting Batman and Detective Comics.
as for your tough trivia question, i'll post a few and we'll see if anyone here can come up with an answer and that'll let us know how difficult the question is. lets start with these:
1. How many different people have been Firebug and what are their names? (hint: most reference sites have this incorrect)
2. who was the first person that Mr. Zsasz killed?
3. who's the current Azrael?
let's try those out for now. i think 2 of them are fairly easy. but we'll see.

^ Best guess I have for #2: A homless man who tried to rob him (Shadow of the Bat#1) And last I heard, Mark Shaw(the former Manhunter) was offered the role of Azrael.

^ Best guess I have for #2: A homless man who tried to rob him (Shadow of the Bat#1) And last I heard, Mark Shaw(the former Manhunter) was offered the role of Azrael. correct answer for # 2. Zsasz was planning on killing himself and a man attempted to mug him before he did and Zsasz killed him. incorrect on question # 3. you are right that Shaw was offered the role, but he did not accept it.

ooohh sorry xD, misread. I know this one though, there have been 2 i think, one was joe rigger who was defeated by the firefly or something and the other was... harland combs i believe. AND there was another one who won the custom of the Internet and used it for crime, i don't think they said his name though.

Joseph Rigger was the first, followed by Harlan Combs, and followed by the third and current Firebug, whose name has yet to be revealed. one question remains.

and the answer to question # 3 is:
Nicholas Scratch. he worked with Carlton LeHah and a secret organzation that was a part of the Order of St. Dumas to take out Jean-Paul Valley and take his place as Azrael. Scratch wears the original Azrael suit, only in white and gray instead of red and gold. he was the last known Azrael and t hasnt been brought up that he has died or given up the role and no one has become Azrael since, so it can be said that Scratch is still Azrael.
now for the new questions:
1. in the animated Timmverse (B:TAS, BTNA, JLU, etc) a few characters were made specifically for the show that were never in the comics. which characters that were created specifically for that show later became a part of the DCU in the comics?
2. who created the drug Venom?
3. who killed Helena Bertinella's family?

1- HARLEY QUINN RENE MONTOYA LOCK-UP BULLOCK? 2- DONT remember THE SCIENTIST'S NAME BY HEART... WOULD NEED TO PULL OUT MY LOTDK ISSUES. 3- (SOMETHING) MANDRAGORA 1. 3 are correct. there are 7 characters. you got Harley, Lock-Up, and Renee Montoya. Bullock was an already established character in the comics and had been around for while. 4 characters left. 2. yeah, thats an easy question but it requires alittle crate digging. i had to go to the issue myself for that question. 3. incorrect. you're thinking of JLU. her origin in the comics is quite different and involves some different characters.

I know he was used in the JLU toon but I couldve sworn he was involved in the creataion of the Huntress in the comics as well.

I know he was used in the JLU toon but I couldve sworn he was involved in the creataion of the Huntress in the comics as well. in the comics Steven Mandragora is actually Tobias Whale. he had nothing to do with Huntress ever and they have yet to ever cross paths in the comics. Tobias Whale first came to Gotham in the series Gotham Underground. he was always based in Metropolis prior to that series.

The mob killed huntresses family, eh? And what comic was this new Azeral, nick scratch, in? yes the mob killed her family, but we're looking for the specific mobster that performed the hit. and Nicholas Scratch fully became Azrael in Azrael # 100. he had been an Azrael villain since Road to No Man's Land. he hasnt been seen since that issue.

3. who killed Helena Bertinella's family? The order to kill them came from Helena's biological father, Santo Cassamento. that is correct. the actual gunman was Omerta the Silencer, who was later killed by Cassamento. 2 questions remain.
