27-04-23 | The Dark Knight is celebrating an incredible milestone, as DC Comics releases the 900th issue of Batman. Don’t be fooled by its issue number, the upcoming Batman #135 is indeed the 900th edition. The series has been relaunched twice, first during the New 52 wave and later during the DC Rebirth. Counting up all three volumes will reveal the Batman magazine has reached a whopping 900 books!
Batman #135 concludes the latest storyline, The Bat-Man of Gotham. Previous chapters found Gotham City overrun with villainy and no Batman in sight to stop them. As Robin went on a quest to find Bruce Wayne, the mysterious Red Mask was having his way with the citizens of Gotham. Now Batman is back and ready to reclaim what is his.
As DC Comics put it : ‘The conclusion to the bestselling The Bat-Man of Gotham is so big it could only be contained in an oversize 900th anniversary issue featuring the return of fan-favorite artist Jorge Jiménez and a wild collection of guest stars! Full of wild revelations and a new path for Batman, this is one issue you won’t want to miss!’ And we are inclined to agree with them. It’s classic Batman from classic artists. Here’s to the next 900 issues!
