Packed with cameos and supporting appearances of classic iterations of Batman and the Joker throughout the characters’ history in comics, film, and television, the issue sees the main DC Universe’s Caped Crusader try to return to his own reality. To mark the milestone occasion, Zdarsky is not only joined by artists Mike Hawthorne, Jorge Jimenez, and Mikel Janin but also takes full advantage of the oversized issue to celebrate the entire history of the Dark Knight. Chip Zdarsky closes out the latest arc of his Batman run, “The Bat-Man of Gotham,” with Batman #135, which also carries the legacy numbering as Batman #900. ![]()

After all, though Hannah is probably the most gorgeous woman she’s ever seen, she’s also straight. When she runs into Hannah Dalton on Christmas Eve, she has no reason to believe her luck will change. And third, Christmas only brings her bad luck - being broken up with not once, not twice, but three times during the holidays is proof enough of that.
