"What you're going to find out about Batman in issue #1 changes everything. How Kal-El comes to this world is completely different, and there's a twist there that nobody's ever done that I've ever seen in comics. I remember I was sitting in a hotel room with Donny Cates in 2019. He was telling me his everything he had planned for Thor for years, and I was telling him about this. And we were both just one-upping each other and giggling like madmen at about 3am. I told him the big twist that happens in those first few pages of Dark Knights of Steel #1, and his jaw dropped. He's just like, 'You bastard, why didn't I think of that?' Which is what you want." -- Tom Taylor

"Who is this character on the amazing Yasmine Putri Batman #92 cover?! But when does she appear for the first time? Is it Batman #89? Is it Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen #3? Am I writing her origin story in the Joker 80th Anniversary Special? Is she Joker’s new girlfriend? Is she a part of 'Joker War'??! Who the heck is this Punchline, and why does she want to stab everyone?!?!?!?!?!?! ... Wait, I’m not supposed to say that’s Punchline yet, am I? I’m not supposed to say any of this! And what about this incredible character design from Jorge Jimenez…? Well, while we’re here… Maybe I’ll let you be the first to meet her. I am very excited for her to start showing up in the books. Spoilers. She is not a nice guy." -- James Tynion IV
