So, I'm not the sharpest lightbulb in the drawer, but isn't the whole point of comics "[Insert superhero] Is Fucked"? Maybe DC was holding out for "Batman is Fucked Again" or "Batman: Fucked Again" or "Yep, We're Fucking Batman Over in 2023"? Like, speaking of Morrison, that whole run can be collected in the omnibus "Batman is fucked so hard he even has a kid." But, you know, I could be wrong on the whole marketing aspect.
Also, Happy New Year! I expect Daredevil to be No. 1 on all the lists in December!
sincere* question: do you think that the reason they didn't like the "bat man's fuc ked" image is because none of the words fit on the lines and you didn't use a hyphen or a dash (whichever one is the one to use)?

thank you again!

PS looking super forward to "batman's fucked: the squeakquel." or "2 fucked, 2 squeakquel (batman edition)."
also are you telling me you don’t think Alvin and the chipmunks: the squeakquel deserves to be in the criterion collection? because I think the chipettes are a generation-defining group
Wow, when u said he effed up, u really meant it didn’t u Chip?
I mean, how does Bruce even get from point A to B from last months issue to right now? It’s crazy to think somehow Failsafe had in him the ability to do something of this level all along. Makes me wonder why he bothered with the kryptonite with Superman is he just zap him away like he did.
Though knowing comics, there’s more to it than meets the eyes
So, is it just me or has ur run so far seemingly been one giant love letter to Grant Morrison? I mean is that ur particular jam for Batman outside ur own work, or just happy coincidence?
Jorge is off for this arc right? But he’s returning the following correct? Is this arc going to be the same length as Failsafe or maybe shorter/longer?
And congrats for all the kudos ur Daredevil and Public Domain series have been receiving. I always like to say that quality always gets it’s time in the spotlight. My hope is that ur fist saga will be as well received as devil’s reign was.
Happy new year! Failsafe took the multiverse gun from the Fortress! So he didn't have the ability until he discovered it. And I love the Morrison run! I think I'm playing off of it more than recent runs because it feels far enough in the past that bringing it ll back feels fresh!
Jorge is back with our next arc! This one runs until 135.
Shame on me for forgetting the multiverse gun. And here I pride myself in remembering the things that happen in current series.
Well I suppose when u realize Damian isn’t such a new addition to the mythos anymore it really does show how much time has gone by since then. So I tend to agree with ur assessment.
And thanks for the heads up about Jorge and this arcs run.
Looking forward to learning more about the differences between this earth and our prime one. Also very interested to learn more about our new baddy, I presume, Red Mask
I'm not surprised, Chip. DC also rejected the detailed, anatomically-correct ad I sent them when New 52 Catwoman #1 launched - BATMAN'S FUCKING
happy new year, chip! congrats on the (much deserved !!!!) recognition for dd, devil’s reign, and public domain :)

sometimes a squeakquel is even better than the furiginal it's true

Do you know if the HC of the failsafe arc will include the back issues? Cheers
I don't know! But I would imagine they will since the HC is 176 pages!
