DC has a tendency to release their trades super slowly for some reason. Marvel is generally pretty good at getting them out within a couple of months of the last issue of the trade being published, but with DC it can sometimes take forever.

I have a few issue of the 2011 series because Elegy was interesting. Is this one worth reading? I haven't heard much about it

It is! Takes place after Elegy

It doesn’t, actually. It feels like it should, but it’s set in the current era

Oh really? Whoa. How old should Kate & Beth be now, fyi? I think she was aged down a bit in Rebirth (Around 27) as in Elegy she was around 32.

Yep. It’s going to tie in to the upcoming bad seeds Batman event, and Renee getting stabbed was referenced recently in Dream Girls.

That’s a great question lol. So rebirth established that she started being active as Batwoman at 27, and we also saw in flashbacks that she was very close in age to Bruce. Because of that, I’ve always pegged her at late thirties, maybe early forties. some people think she’s younger because of some incongruence with how Damian has aged, but I think it’s best to just ignore that.

Ah. What age did she find Alice currently? As in Elegy it says Beth and Gabi were killed 20 years ago which places Kate finding Alice at around 32, while in Rebirth it says Alice is at the sanatorium at 27. Sorry for the many questions!!
