Oooh Chip! That sexy story reminded me of the night I was in bed next to my wife reading issue #15 of your Daredevil run - the issue where he and Elektra bust out of somewhere (too old to remember details) in a corvette and Daredevil kills the lights on the car and drives off down a dirt road into a majestic wood, navigating with his echolocation, which gives Elektra a lady boner and they do it on the hood.
I’ll tell you what - I put that comic down (neatly, bagged and boarded), rolled over onto my wife, and did the best impression of Daredevil I could muster, meaning I killed the lights and put on a blindfold.
She kept saying “I can’t feel it.”
And I was like, “do you feel it?”
And she was like, “no”
And I was like, “no, Elektra says ‘do you feel it?’”
And my wife said, “you need to stop reading comic books.”
Maybe you can get the award for Writing More Books than Kieron? Granted, he's a dashing man about town and you live in the wilderness, so maybe he doesn't have the time? It seems like you should be a lock for that statuette. I just worry that the industry is turning against you. Hang in there!
Really looking forward to your inevitable vampire sex novel. I also have a show called "Interview With The Dracula" where I interview comic creators. Just put that in your back pocket if you ever want to do that for real. And I'm not surprised Joe Q does a great Batman, though Bruce digging is own grave has way more of a "sexy vampire" vibe to it. I assume that is the vibe Jorge was going for.
Feels dirty seeing JQ doing DC work? Says the guy straddling the fence between DC and Marvel at this very moment 😆.
Wow, I have to say, that little short story u dropped, while a bit of classic chip tongue in cheek humor, was actually very nice. Strangely enough it makes me imagine, in a more serious setting, someone like Vicki Vale getting to interview Batman for the first time, and her having a hard time keeping herself professional, because she’s in a room alone with the God $&@! Batman, 🤣.
Very very excited for what u have planned for the new year Chip. I’m assuming someone on the planet, Failsafe is just waiting to drop a “I’ll be Back” or “I’m Back” line for when he next shows up. Though this does pose the question, with how you have written him, is it possible to stop Failsafe at all? He seems like a legitimately unbeatable character, save if someone had some cosmic power to overwhelm him with...but he’d probably have something for that too.
Does that take away any of the fun from the characters? Making him seemingly unbeatable and prepared for everything thrown at him?
Can’t wait for 131 to drop chip! Keep up the good work!
lol I love that all of your comments are you trying to guess what's coming up in Batman. I'll never tell!!!!
But yeah, writing powerful characters is fun for that reason. One of my favourite Spidey stories was him versus Morlun by JMS and JRJR. Like, I was a grown-ass man reading it and I was on the edge of my seat wondering how the fuck Spidey was going to get out of that one.
I confess to a small amount of probing for where things might be going next. Compared to Tom and James who preceded you, I find u a lot harder to nail down what might come next. So that makes me all the more determined to get a good feel for what u have in mind for Batman!
Morlun is one of my favorite Spidey villains also! He was such a departure from the normal tech based or mutated based enemies spidey was used to handling. Plus, the fact he basically killed Spider-Man back in The Other storyline, cements him in my book as one of the all time greats. So I can clearly see why that’d be an appealing character.
And I can see how that work for Failsafe also, being this seemingly unstoppable thing that just...won’t...give...UP! That sense of dread, and the fact he seems to follow Batman wherever he goes, definitely had me on the edge of my seat. At the same time I might add that in those cases, the unstoppable enemy was, in the end...stopped. That wasn’t the case with FS. He seemingly won, then just flew off. Whether this gets rectified in a future encounter with Bruce and him is something I guess I’ll have to wait and see.
Speaking of where things are going next, are we still going to see Tim play a strong role moving forward? With some other Robins off the board maybe due to storylines unfolding in '23, it seems like Tim has a chance grab the spotlight again between Batman and his (really cool!) solo series.
Tim is the focus of our backup stories from 131-134 and I definitely want him as a part of the book going forward to some degree. But! That being said, I want to make sure to not take him away from other books!
Oh no! Don't be Batman and become too shut off that everyone pushes you away and your girlfriend cheats on you with/leaves you for a slimy Frenchman. That would be the worst. That should only happen to terrible people, like Batman

I'm sorry but you can't hold me legally accountable for your divorce
I’m so glad you’ve watched it. A lot of my response to the show was “I’m so happy for Chip and Tini.”
haha! we are truly #blessed
It's a very special time for us!!!!!!!!!
ha ha ha there's something *so wrong with us* and always has been
we probably shouldn't be writing batman and catwoman tbh!!!!
but the gif! the gif chip

I've always said, "quantity over quality"!!!
Will you be creating a new love interest for Batman? I feel bad for him since Selina doesn't love him anymore.
The only thing Batman loves is fighting crime!!!!!
Wow. that is a very SEXY vampire story. Like damn. I'm definitely thinking about sex as much as I think about vampires.
Anyway, that last issue of Batman was BONNNNNKERS. Kudos. Can't believe that opening sequence. Have you been to space?
yeah i've been to space it's nbd
CLEARLY.
Funniest interview ever!!! Once again I thank you for starting my day off laughing
Kieron's awesome and all, but could he write vampire fiction of that quality? Pshaw.
he probably could and HAS :(

I'm sure you and Meghan can share! Just be ... nice? (Also, Riley is killing it on that book.)
YES! I'm loving the book!
That's true. He's a pretty crappy person if you think about it. Too much of a work-a-holic. Too cold to truly show love.
i'm basically writing what I know
Oh no! Don't be Batman and become too shut off that everyone pushes you away and your girlfriend cheats on you with/leaves you for a slimy Frenchman. That would be the worst. That should only happen to terrible people, like Batman
