Three's a trend.
Over the past couple years, DC has been releasing facsimile issues of the giant Limited Collector's Editions they printed at tabloid-size in the 70s. They've reprinted Superman vs Wonder Woman, Superman vs Muhammed Ali, various Batman ones, and more. (I just picked up a reprint of Limited Collector's Edition C-25, featuring Batman, yesterday.)
But along the way, they've started to reprint other comics from DC history at tabloid size. It started with Untold Legend of the Batman, last March. I'm still kicking myself for not picking it up when I had a chance; I haven't seen it since.
But last month, they reprinted the classic Justice League of America 200 at that size.
And for November, they've released this solicitation of a new Wonder Woman edition -- from the George Perez run!

Master comics storyteller George Pérez revitalized Wonder Woman in the mid-’80s with this stunning new origin for the Amazonian Princess! Discover how and why the gods came to create the mighty Amazons and see the terrible events that led to their eventual immortality on the island paradise of Themyscira as well as to the coming of their greatest champion and warrior in the fight against the vile Ares, Wonder Woman!
They haven't released a cover yet, but how could they resist Perez's wraparound to Wonder Woman #1?
So... if they're seriously doing this, and creating new tabloid editions... what's next?

I never even heard that Untold Legend of the Batman #1 was released as a tabloid. (I probably would have bought it, too.)
As to what might be next, I'll have to give it some thought.
The first thing that comes to mind is Legion of Super-Heroes #300.
Also, I recently suggested (on the "What Should Be Reprinted Next?" discussion) that DC reprint Superman #400 as a regular-size facsimile.
If they were to release it as a tabl;oid, so much the better.
I don't buy every one of these, but I absolutely HAD to get the Untold Legend of The Batman tabloid.
Yes, Superman #400 would be a worthy candidate for reprinting at the tabloid size. Also, Detective Comics #500. Those two were the most truly special of the giant anniversary issues.
It would be worth it just to see Snoopy's novel at the tabloid size!
