DC Announces Batman #900 Oversized Issue

February 17, 2023, 4:04pm

DC announced the milestone upcoming release of Batman #900 this May. Batman #135 (whose legacy numbering is actually #900) will see writer Chip Zdarsky continuing his ambitious (but exciting) re-invention of Batman’s world and mythos with the story “The Bat-Man of Gotham,” which has transported Bruce Wayne to an alternate reality, in which Bruce Wayne died, never created Batman, and therefore never beat back the darkness that constantly tries to drown Gotham.

Batman #900 will mark the end of “The Bat-Man of Gotham” storyline, and how else could it end other than having Batman finally face the new big bad of this alternate Gotham: the Red Mask. Red Mask has an infection he’s unleashing on Gotham, and Bruce is the only one who can (or will) stop him.

There will be an extensive creative team working on Batman #900. In addition to Chip Zdarsky, fan-favorite artist Jorge Jimenez will be doing the artwork, with help from Mike Hawthorne, and Adriano di Bendetto. The book will get a series of interconnected variant covers, with art by the likes of Joe Quesada, Jim Cheung, the legend Neal Adams, and others.
