CBR have posted the second part of their interview with writer Judd Winick regarding his return to Batman post BFTC.

The one very interesting point on this interview is how he was originally handed “Battle for the Cowl” and wrote two issues before he was taken off the project?

CBR: The June solicitations are out and “Batman” #687 is promising a meeting between the “new” Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman. What can you tell us about that first meeting? Is it safe to say the comicdom royalty are not amused?

Judd Winick: I can tell you that Superman and Wonder Woman are absolutely in the comic book. The nature of their meeting with Batman is something that I will have to keep quiet about until June 10. Where’s the fun in that?

I was quite pleased with the first issue. It’s sort of a #0 issue, if you will, which came about after a couple of manifestations. To explain that, I should talk about “Battle for the Cowl.” I was writing “Battle for the Cowl.” I actually wrote the first two issues. And I was very, very ahead of schedule. I knew where things were going to end and I was excited to do it, so I decided to get a jump on it. So I had two issues in the can and was moving along while the other six titles were picking the creative teams and getting going. But once I sat down with the editors for these books, Mike Marts being one of them, because of the immensity of the story I was writing, we found I was actually mining territory that they wanted to touch upon in the other monthlies. I was burning a lot of fire wood, because those were my marching orders. I was supposed to tell this big, gigantic story of what got us here. “Battle for the Cowl” was going to be big. It was going to be four issues and we were going to double ship each month and I think they were going to be 30 pages each. It was going to be a big, big thing. So there was a lot of ground to cover. All the characters were going to be represented. And I was robbing, inadvertently, all of this great story from the monthlies. And a lot of their motivations for things they were going to come to and what not, I was covering.
