CAMPER49 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 So BATMAN (2016) is approaching #135 in 2023, which according to my calculation should be BATMAN #900 using the Legacy numbering. Has anyone heard anything regarding this milestone issue? Or will DC not resort to Marvel numbering trickery and number it as #135 and just keep moving along as if #900 didn't happen? Does anyone care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAMANTIUM Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 It took me a minute cause I was remembering detective reaching the 1000 landmark. I'm sure a lot of people care, but I've only picked up some random issues between here and there, on tec and especially on Batman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAMANTIUM Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Should we also discuss this among other things in modern? Anyway I'd be excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I know I don’t care because I stopped collecting Modern Batman back in 1998…for the most part. TEC 1000 was the last milestone I purchased, all variants. I ended up with a 9.9 graded variant that will stay in my PC.

I forget if it was specifically #1000, but I don't thinks so, that's quite the book to sub yourself for 9.9 or buy. Either way glad for you. It did make me wonder if DC paper was easier, than Marvel or others, for grades but idk. Edited August 27, 2022 by ADAMANTIUM Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a lesser known variant by Kaare Andrews. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had certain issues that are classic for higher than 9.8, ie last Robin, but still hasn't happened for me so congrats. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littledoom Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 If it makes money they’ll for sure do a #900 issue 90 page giant size anniversary prestige format comics with 9 different covers for diff decades and 90 different store exclusives with color, black and white and virgin variants Browns81 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D84 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Legacy numbering is bull. They started over in 2011. Action Comics and Detective Comics never hit issue 1000. Another reason I walked away from modern comics. Browns81, RockMyAmadeus, Lazyboy and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Damn. I can remember deciding how many copies of Batman #500 to buy! (In the end, the answer was one. And even that was arguably too many.) Larryw7, Dr. Balls and Dave2739 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I'd be excited To be honest, I'm burnt out on all the spider man gimmicks. I would prefer a really great story rather than the next first appearance of spider-baby, spider-rapper, spider-cat, ad infimum. I guess all I would expect for Batman 900 is a good story as well. Probably won't happen though. ADAMANTIUM and Point Five 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After over 40 years of buying Amazing Spidey, I finally dumped it with number "900". Batman and Detective are the final two books on my pull list other than a few TwoMorrows magazines. And Bats and 'Tec are hanging on by a thread at this point. I may or may not make it to Batman 900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAMPER49 Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 I don't really care much for the different covers, just hoping that the story will be something memorable, in a good way. Who will be write the story, who's the artist, etc. When they brought Zur-En-Arrh back yet again in the latest story arc, I felt like scrapping the title completely, and for me to do that it's gotta be bad.

Jesse-Lee Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 They did a big blowout of covers for Batman #100 and made a big deal out of it - so that would have been what, Batman #865 going by legacy? So it makes me wonder if they'll acknowledge #900, or if they'll just do something for #150, #200, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
