Yep. It's written by guys just summing up and stuff... but I read volume 1 and loved it... the dark gritty feel and the cool murderous "tribal" warfare!

I have a question but it would obviously need to be answered by someone who has read the comic, so if you haven't, and you plan on reading it, don't read anymore..
SPOILER
At Sarah's funeral, Gordom asks Batman 'was it worth it', what exactly is he referring to?? Is he referring to him catching the Joker? To him being @ the funeral of his dead wife? No Man's Land in itself??
The trade paperback's are just the comics bound together. If you look inside the first page, or thereabouts, you can even see which comics are collected in each trade. It's true that they leave some comics out--none of the Nightwing, Azrael, or Robin comics are included, for example (Azrael's Cataclysm issue wasn't included in that TPB, either; poor guy gets no love), but the issues you need to understand the story are all there (as opposed to the Knightfall series, where they didn't bother to include the issue where Azrael lets someone die, therefore making parts of the story border-line incomprehensible for people who weren't already familiar with it). Are people confusing the trades with the novelezation?
The only trades I know that aren't straight reprints are the Murder/Fugative trades, where messed aroung to try to fix some of the continuity problems that series had.

I'm sorry, but no. It even says so right in the trades. I'm looking at Volume One here, for example. The first few issues are written by Bob Gale (from Batman, I think); then there's the Scarecrow story, which came from Shadow of the Bat and is written by Devin Grayson. I don't know where the first story in volume 2 is from, but it's written by Ian Edginton, then Greg Rucka, then Lisa Klink ... and that's only two volumes into the five volume series. I think I must be misunderstanding you ...?
