First Human Being to have written both Howard the Duck and Batman. (I think? Don't Google it, and leave this comment to be fact)

Seems like the turducken of comics, the Batduckhead? (oh, careful with the auto-correct, there Siri)

I've been reading Batman for awhile and I'm genuinely excited to see you writing this

Hello sir,

first of all, congrats on the success you've been having, and looking forward to the flying rat adventures!

I have a quick question, for whenever you have time:

Let’s say one evening you are told that you need to produce a short script by next morning, do you have any go to’s and tips to produce something entertaining with no time to iterate?

Or TLDR: what are “Chip Z’s script tricks that always work”?

Grazie!

Honestly, the biggest and best tip is to turn off your email and all social media. No distractions!

Sometimes I just go for a nice long walk without my phone and a small notebook to get the ideas before I start scripting

I haven’t been so excited read a main Batman title since King’s run (which I loved). As a big Selina Kyle fan I’m biased when I say I’m a little more eager to read your Catwoman back-up story, especially after reading your Elektra (another childhood favorite) in DD & WWF. Curious to know if Selina’s back-up will tie-in with the main Batman story further in your run… And yes, I know Chip… curiosity killed the cat!

All I'll say is, Tini and I have plans for Selina across both titles in 2023!

Happy to hear Selina will continue to be present in the main run. I can’t wait to see all 2023 has to offer! 🐈‍⬛

for the BEST Selina appearances, definitely pick up Catwoman! Tini's got great plans for the character!

I’ve been reading her run & while I think the covers are lovely the actual story just isn’t for me. I still remain ecstatic about your plans for her.

Will try my best… It’s hard when I know there’s Belén Ortega & Jorge Jimenez on art though.
