After revealing Bruce Wayne’s first year as the Dark Knight in Zero Year, Batman team Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo move to Endgame this Fall.
Snyder says it’s not his final act writing Batman but will recharge the entire Batman family of books in a new CBR interview.
“Endgame” really is — it’s not the end of our run — and I haven’t said this to anyone before, but the way I would characterize it is, being in the past and getting to do “Zero Year” — and I remember coming and pitching “Zero
Year” to you and I was so passionate about it because I was terrified. I really got terrified and depressed and anxious when we began it. No one was being mean, I just got so intimidated by the sacred element of the origin, and I knew I had a way of making it personal and modern for myself. Getting done with that — and it really is the thing I’m proudest of that we’ve done on the book — I feel like now it’s my obligation in the present to try and change and celebrate the mythology by changing it as much as I can for new, good stories. … We’re trying to bring an excitement and a dynamism to the line that you haven’t seen, I think. And a new status and a new feel for it, where it’s a vibrant, exciting place in comics. And my job, with “Endgame,” and I can promise, I swear, I feel like I’ve been honest with you about where I was like, “I promise you this is gonna be my favorite thing that we’ve done.” [In] “Endgame” you’ll get to the last page of the first issue and it’s the biggest bombshell we’ve had in a long time where I knew you’ll see it and you’ll be like, “Oh my god, what are we in for?”
The big question: after taking on Joker in Death of the Family and Riddler in Zero Year, which classic rogue will Batman face next?
Batman #35 hits in October.
