Chip Zdarsky to write Batman from issue #125

>Well, the news is out:

>I’m the new writer of BATMAN.


>Cover to Batman #125 by Jorge Jiménez. It’s pretty good!!!!
>Joining me on the title with the over-sized issue 125 is the immensely talented Jorge Jiménez, who’s already had an awesome tenure on that title, so he’ll be the expert I ask all of my questions to, like, “where’s Alfred” and “why a bat?”

>Early on in the process I let him know I’d be going a little darker with the scripts and Jorge immediately grabbed onto that and turned in pages that were gritty and intense, but still had the bigger-than-life energy of a Jorge Jiménez drawing. He’s the best! Truly the best. And yes, he is putting up with my bullshit, thank god.

>For all those asking, yes, this is for the long haul. Or at least until DC realizes their mistake. I’ve been cooking up plans that will be felt through all the bat-titles, which have an amazing roster of talent on them, and I think readers will be pretty happy.

Now he gets Batman and Red Batman!

Honestly sounds cool.

I hope he makes the book interesting.

Better than Raccoon Williamson.

I’m shocked people are willing to work for DC again.

hope they figure out to unshrink robin

didn’t that guy wrote a good daredvil?

I hope they let Zdarsky end the Luthor-man Inc. series.

I was actually about to drop Batman too. Hopefully it’s a bit more focused than his Daredevil run

Yeah: The Death of Daredevil, the most recent run, Devil's Reign and the next run when Daredevil may or may not kill Kingpin. Again. Maybe.

Still writing it right now

Cool. Williamson was pretty stretched out already as it is and it's clear his run was just shadow war/dark crisis set up.

I won't read it if they don't.

>Catwoman or Talia becomes the new Batman while Bruce is in a prison in Santa Prisca

Jimenez just went all in on Batman huh

If it ain't broke don't fix it

Zdarsky you coward bring back Alfred as a sentient AI running off a 1990s Apple computer.

So Williamson really is the DC's Gerry Duggan

I don't want this to turn into a batman bashing

but does it feel like every dc top writers is on at least 2 batman books

If is to safe Talia

Boy i can't wait for the pajeets to say Chip is the best writer ever after years of shitting on him when he wrote Spider-Man.
