AP #300 cover star and co-designer Gerard Way was approved to write a limited Batman series under DC's Vertigo imprint roughly five years ago, he has revealed via tweets.
“They wanna put it out I just never have time to write it!” he told Mindless Self Indulgence frontman Jimmy Urine earlier this evening.
The former My Chemical Romance frontman revealed several of his concept sketches from the series, which include twisted spins on Batman, Mr. Freeze and the Joker, which you can view below.
The Batman series, which Way pitched to DC Comics in 2008, prior to the recording of both Conventional Weapons and Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys, was set to feature six issues.

More on Way's Batman:
-“He only eats rats”
-“the inside of the cape has a massive drawing of a magical kingdom that he made up, like his version of Heaven”
-“He has ESP, can turn into a bat, and can see into the future, but only he knows about these powers”
