COMING DECEMBER 2009
So, where am I on Batman: Year One, well I’m at Chapter 7. The longest chapter I’ve written, 48 pages to be correct and growing. In my mind, I feel like chapter 7 is the main chapter as it beings to challenge the characters and test their faiths. It will show them how human they are when evil rears it’s face.
I know when I started this novel, that the seventh chapter would be the mother of all chapters, it’s at the end and half way to the new Novel Batman: Year Two.
I really want to keep you guys updated seeing how this December, Batman: Year One is hitting the web. The novel isn’t complete, but it’s at 60%. I really not looking to drag this novel for a whole year, if I have the chapters ready to ship, they’ll hit the web much quicker. With Seven Chapters ready, we could see them all out by April of 2010. I want this Novel to be complete and out by July. Fingers crossed of course.
I’ve been talking to Gwen, who wants to do another Q&A about Batman: Year One, a hard hitting one. That pushes me to the limits, her words of course. That Q&A will might be out sometime soon. I’ll keep you updated if anything new breaks out.

Some people might be wondering how Batman: Year One is turning out. And I can say it’s getting the treatment, respect, and dictation it deserves. Last year, I couldn’t go much into detail what the story is really going to look like, but with only seven months to go before it’s release date. That changes this year at the 2nd annual Indie Revolution, I finally get more into detail, and talk about some of the characters, and how Batman: Year One plans to play out.
I was worried that how this was my first fan fiction, that I might have trouble getting off the right foot, and end up telling a story that’s best fit shown among friends. That’s just not the case, I took the source of the material and created my own world. The L.N.S.A was the first novel I push the limits with, and continue to do. With Batman: Year One, I wonder if this would be possible, my mind set was about the diehard batman fans, what would they think? But, that’s the reason writers fall short from telling a good story, and pushing the limits.
Batman: Year One is aimed at everyone, it’s theirs to decided whether they like it or not. I took the series and made it my own, and re-tooled everything the way I wanted my Gotham to look like, how I wanted my Bruce Wanye, Carmine, and Batman to look like as well.

The Batman: Year One is on the sixth chapter, I’m glad of the progress I’m making with the novel, despite it’s December 2009 release date. So, if I do manage to finish the novel before time, you the reader should expect more then one chapter a month.
With the Indie Revolution coming this July 5th , I plan to treat the reader into a more in depth of what the novel will hold. And the entire first chapter will be there for all to read. I have gone back, to change a few things here and there on the first rough draft you read at last year Indie Revolution. The one you will read this July, is the final draft.
