Chip Zdarsky & Leonardo Romero To Tell Batman: Zur-En-Arrh Year One
Today's Batman #127 sees both Batman and his back-up personality Zur-En-Arrh fighting off Failsafe, as well as fighting each other. But in Batman #128, and as teased in the solicit for Batman #128, chip Zdarskuy and Leonardo Romero will be using the back-up strip currently telling a Catwoman/Penguin story for Zur-En-Arrh Year One.
The Batman of Zur-En-Arrh was originally created in the sixties as an alien who decided to become a Batman for their own planet. But when revived by Grant Morrison and Tony S Daniel in the noughties in Batman RIP, Zur-En-Arrh is revealed as a personality created by Bruce Wayne in the event he was ever mentally compromised. More violent than Batman, his costume made out of red, yellow, and purple rags referenced the one from the sixties character. And now, it emerges that this personality was the one who created Failsafe. Will we learn that story in Zur-En=Arrh Year One? Odds are good…
