It’s a real Batman day around here, so if you hate Batman, I guess you can just fuck right off!!!

no wait don’t go I’m sorry it’s ok to have preferences and dislikes

GOD YOU’RE SUCH A COWARD

I’m also superstitious (that’s a Batman reference, mom)!


DC posted an interview against my wishes. I told them I didn’t want any videos that featured both Jorge AND myself because Jorge is too handsome and I look like a troll next to him.

I WILL SAY THOUGH, if you don’t want to be spoiled, don’t watch this video! There are definitely elements in here that spoil things (and not just spoiling YOU with too much handsomeness).

Also, DC cut out the most important part, where I said that what I hope to accomplish with this job is to show that literally ANYONE can write Batman. Fuckin’ lamestream media!!

THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE YOUR NEWSLETTER. TO GIVE PEOPLE THE UNFILTERED TRUTH

Exactly! Finally we agree on something!


The other Batman news is that Jorge unveiled his amazing cover for issue 127!

#Batman #127 COVER.. One of my design bets for this new run is to take special care of the covers, I´m enjoying this collection, and I want each one to have a personal solid design, without forgetting its relationship with the interior pages.. hope u like it! SEPTEMBER! @zdarsky

It’s scary!!!!!!!

Being a giant baby I told DC that I want to reveal covers too, so they gave me all the variants (well, except one I believe)! WORLD EXCLUSIVE, YEAH!!!


First up is this stunner by Inhyuk Lee to tie into our Catwoman backup story! It’s gorgeous! Also, I love that Batman has bat-symbols on his gold bars?!

Next, an awesome Alex Garner cover celebrating Gotham’s unsung heroes: the brave men and women who commit crimes in alleys knowing full well Batman just absolutely loves to beat up criminals in alleys.

The legendary Gabriele Dell’Otto has a wraparound cover highlighting one of Batman’s lesser known heroic jobs: testing wastewater for covid levels! Thank you for your service, Batman! #maskup

oh yeah and some guy named Jock I guess

All pretty cool, yeah?!

YEAH

Man, it is SO nice when you and I agree on things.

But you know what’s an even BETTER variant?

ALEX ROSS?

I … no. But that would be cool. What I’M talking about is this fuckin’ thing!

Yup, I’ve gone and done it. It’s at the printers. THE ONLY VARIANT FOR PUBLIC DOMAIN #1! I’ve only printed 300 of these things, so it’s a very limited edition! Once the world is Public Domain-crazy and all the kids are playing with their Syd & Jerry Dallas action figures, all you speculators will be rich beyond your mildest dreams!!

As always, the fine folks at The Beguiling are handling these. There will be signed and unsigned copies, but BE WARNED: The signed ones will ship out in September because I’ll be in the woods until then in what DC is calling “the Bat-writer Protection Program” and won’t be able to sign them.

And, like before, these are only available to my ANNUAL SUBSTACK SUBSCRIBERS! And we’ll be sending out free copies to the CHIPNUTZ SUBSCRIBERS!

So go get the stupidest variant I’ve ever done!

Bye!

Watching that video I have trouble believing my DNA is 99.9% identical to Jorge's.
