Hey Chip please say your still going to be writing Batman still I literally subscribed so I could ask this question and I read the issue it was amazing. I believe you really understand Batman and its awsome thanks for the issues and hopefully many more
That’s awesome I’m so glad you’ll still be writing him and of course a lot of writers understand him I just really enjoy where you take the characters but thank you for responding
"BATMAN 900 like wow" indeed!! Holy shit, congrats on this issue, Chip. This was an instant all-timer for me.
Reading this issue this morning was one of the best experiences I've had reading comics. I could not believe what I was seeing with Jorge's section of the book. Every change in art style had my jaw on the floor. I'm curious if all the cameos were in the script or if Jorge had any that he requested to draw. It was refreshing how '66 wasn't treated as a joke. Instead, you played on the expectation that the '66 version is a joke and respected that iteration of the character. The utility belt/DKR suit combo was such a great visual.
I appreciate your representation of societal class in both Daredevil and Batman, so having Alfred as the one to say fuck you to the folks in their ivory tower was wonderful.
Safe travels on the tour, Chip. Looking forward to meeting you in Regina in a couple weeks!
Ha! Thanks, Aaden! And yeah, all the cameos were in the script but I did NOT tell Jorge to draw them fully in their original style! He just wanted the challenge!
I’ll be back on here later today to talk about #900 when I grab it, but before that, just letting u know there’s a pic of u circulating in the discord servers from ur Canadian tour of u getting kicked in the baby makers by a fan. Not gonna lie, some of the funniest shit I’ve seen all week 😂.
You should be more careful around ur fans. Clearly some of them have some serious anger issues. That or maybe they just didn’t care for the beard? (I know, crazy talk, but it’s all I could think of.)
Well then, that was just rude of her. It’s one thing to strike a man, but there are places that r just a no go for us. And to post it online like that...tsk tsk
I did it! Nothing spoiled before I read it. I loved it and I’m glad because I have every 100th Batman issue hanging on my wall and if I didn’t like it would be mocking me. Staring back. Laughing at me from that wall. That damned wall.
So yeah, glad it was one of the most fun, moving Batman stories ever. Pretty nice of you to do that.
I saw your comment about the DKR and it confirms a thought I had, that hopefully the experience he had in 135/900 gives him something to think about that can lead to change. Aside from the hand thing.
I hope you’re enjoying this run and thanks again for going for it with the big ideas but keeping the human moments at the center. Great, great work.
This was a very good Batman comic. I would love to read the script of it in a few months or something. Would also be interesting to hear some of the process on this one, either conversations with the artist (ie emails?) or interviewing them? Don't want to spoil anything here, but a lot of interesting process stuff I'm sure.
Wow...just...wow... I was not expecting Batman 900 to hit that hard. Lots of explanation and some mysteries revealed here, and some of the best multiverse fun I have read ever!
Side note: is he gonna keep the hand as it is?
But damn, so many fun cameos and appearances by so many of my favorite bats. I sincerely hope that we might get a chance to see them all again some point later down the line!
Also that tease at the end. I knew there was going to be more of him, I just KNEW it. Looking forward to seeing who between him and J causes bats the most trouble!
I’m curious, which universe was ur favorite that bats visited?
Yes! Glad you liked it! They were all incredibly fun to write (and to see Jorge bring to life!), but I think the DKR cameo is my favourite as it gives Bruce a glimpse of what life could have in store for him.
Sweet! Personally the ones that hit hardest to me were Batman Arkham, seeing him so remorseful over the return of joker after finally being freed of him, and Beyond, where Bruce met himself older and still in the game, but with his apprentice terry.
I’m curious, that red mask twist, is that a retcon of you know who’s origins, saying that happened then cause of him, or is his meddling now what made that situation currently? If that made any sense?
See, I love how it could be taken both ways. Either that he was the genesis of evil by way of his interference, or that his meddling has made things even worse by spreading evil more than it already had!
HHAHHAHAHAHA a Nissan Kicks on the 401. You’re braver than a one-handed Batman! I forget, is St. Catherine Street still the tattoo & piercings capital of the western world? It’s been ages since I’ve been. Enjoy them soggy cheese curds and drive safe!!!
Of course, your car has a secret identity. Don’t worry, Zdarscar’s secret is safe with me. Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah! 🤭🤫🤐 Have a great time in Montreal, Chip.
Since this is mostly a post about Batman, I'm writing with a question about Daredevil.
I just finished the first trade paperback and loved it, so I want to keep reading. But given that your run stopped and started and there's Devil's Reign and Woman Without Fear too, I was wondering if you could tell me the reading order for the collections? Please?
Originally they were meant to be read together as it was coming out, but I think in collections you're best to read DEVIL'S REIGN first and then WWOF because eventually WWOF spoils moments from DR
The fact that you used a Sealab clip makes me wish I could subscribe a second time.
Hey Chip please say your still going to be writing Batman still I literally subscribed so I could ask this question and I read the issue it was amazing. I believe you really understand Batman and its awsome thanks for the issues and hopefully many more
Yup! Still writing Batman! Have roughly another year's worth of issues approved from DC!
And that's very kind, but Batman contains multitudes and I'd say most writers understand him!
That’s awesome I’m so glad you’ll still be writing him and of course a lot of writers understand him I just really enjoy where you take the characters but thank you for responding
Can’t believe you’ve already written 900 issues of Batman

haha ABIGAILLLLLL!!!
Ah, so that’s who that was. What’d you do to piss her off so badly?
I was just being me!!!!!

Hi... Hope to drop by Crossover Comics tomorrow. Do you think you will have time to do sketches or just doing signings during the stop?
Yeah! I'll totally do some quick bad head sketches!
Batman #900 is very cool! you guys know how to celebrate an anniversary
This was a very good Batman comic. I would love to read the script of it in a few months or something. Would also be interesting to hear some of the process on this one, either conversations with the artist (ie emails?) or interviewing them? Don't want to spoil anything here, but a lot of interesting process stuff I'm sure.
Yeah, I'll ask DC and see if it's okay to lob the script up here!
Wow...just...wow... I was not expecting Batman 900 to hit that hard. Lots of explanation and some mysteries revealed here, and some of the best multiverse fun I have read ever!

Looking forward to seeing what comes next Chip!!!

I’m curious, that red mask twist, is that a retcon of you know who’s origins, saying that happened then cause of him, or is his meddling now what made that situation currently? If that made any sense?
Ha! I'll leave that to you to decide!
See, I love how it could be taken both ways. Either that he was the genesis of evil by way of his interference, or that his meddling has made things even worse by spreading evil more than it already had!
I grabbed my copy of Batman a little early, and Holy Cow! That’s a fun book that had me smiling. Drive safe chip and have a great trip!
Also, thanks again for the signed comic. That made my week when my buddy brought it to me at the snail.
Yeah, my pleasure! Sorry you couldn't make it!
Next time! Hopefully, I won't be working, or you'll just be signing at the Snail. Ha ha
Way to conquer the 401, Chip! We should rename it the Zdarsky.
The “Zdarskway?”
HHAHHAHAHAHA a Nissan Kicks on the 401. You’re braver than a one-handed Batman! I forget, is St. Catherine Street still the tattoo & piercings capital of the western world? It’s been ages since I’ve been. Enjoy them soggy cheese curds and drive safe!!!
Hi Chip,
Congratulations on Batman 900. Enjoy your poutine routine in Montreal. And Zdarcar? Did you abandon Mr. Carlson?
BTW I was so distracted by the unlettered DD 10 art, I did not see the Kaptara pages until a reread, then saw the Beefmaster - 😂 Sizzling!
Happy trails!
Mr. Carlson is Zdarscar's secret identity SHHHH!!!!
Of course, your car has a secret identity. Don’t worry, Zdarscar’s secret is safe with me. Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah! 🤭🤫🤐 Have a great time in Montreal, Chip.

Cool. So DD vols 1 - 7, is it? Then DR, WWOF, then Daredevil & Elektra?
I believe so, yes!
Thanks, mate. Can't wait to get stuck into them!
