It's a very interesting interview. One question, though. (And I'm going to try to send up the Nicieza signal for this one). Fabian, at one point you say this is a four-part story. Slip of the tongue, or is there another part we don't know about?

cool interview indeed. i'm really looking forward to this crossover. that's the second time in an interview that nicieza said he couldn't believe the awesomeness of hine's azrael with what he had left him. can't wait to see the crusader again.

In the letters page of Batman and Robin last week they said it would be in 708, which comes out wednesday, but I wasn't sure if that's a missprint or what. And for some reason I feel like 708 isn't what it's gonna be solicited as. I don't know why I have that feeling, just do.

This crossover sounds like it's going to be amazing! Can't wait for it! Pretty much if Tim Drake is in it, I'm there.

[FHIZ]

Well, it wasn't a misprint. This cross over starts tomorrow with David Hine/Guillem march on Batman #708

[Kate Fatale]

Wow. This certainly sounds exciting. Can't wait!

[Sakasa]

So it starts at devil's square. That area is really popular since last year. I am surprise that batgirl (Steph) is in on this one as that is part of her normal patrol area.

[SpideyZERO]

This definitely sounds good, I'm looking forward to this crossover!

Before last year, it'd been years since I had a Bat-book on my pull list. I'd forgotten the dangers of cross-title cross-overs. I hope this isn't a regular thing (first Titans, now this), since I read Red Robin for Red Robin and not Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Azrael, etc.

You read Red Robin for Anarky.

You read Red Robin for Anarky.

Partially, but I'm also a Tim Drake fan, especially when he's written as the guy who'll grow up to be the world's greatest detective, just maybe not as Batman.

So far, Red Robin has been filled with that Tim, and I'm along for the ride as long as that Tim stays.

[christinereed]

I agree. I'm not liking so many cross-overs.

However, the preview for Batman 708 looks pretty good. So, I haven't decided yet if I'm following the whole story or just the Red Robin issue.

Did anyone else find it weird that the interviewer didn't even ask if this had any relation to Batman #666? That to me is what makes this story interesting as it kind of ties into what Grant Morrison planned for the Azrael character. Being that this is a comic book website it would seem like and easy question to have. Especially since I think the suit of sorrows was made for Damian Wayne.

hmm...you have any evidence to back this up? i think it could be an interesting development (especially with the damian/michael lane meet up in 666) but just haven't noticed anything to go in that direction.
