The Batman titles in 1999 were dominated by the large crossover "No Man's Land", which sees Gotham City ravaged by a large earthquake, leading to the U.S. government's order to evacuate the city and abandoning and isolating those who choose to remain behind [REF].
For the #600 issue, the series moved into the next phase of Wayne's frame-up[REF] and featured three backup stories, which were presented as lost issues never before published from iconic eras in Batman's history.
