It seems like its been a while since Newsarama have done a 20 Q&A with Dan Didio, but with all the interviews surrounding BFTC and the new titles in June, there is no surprise a number of questions have been focusing on that. I've only included the Batman related questions below. Also a very nice point made about Bruce Wayne at the end!
Newsarama: 5) The Batman titles that are coming out in June – a reader asked if there will be a cohesion between them once they all launch and start rolling in the post Battle for the Cowl world as we see in the Superman titles after New Krypton?
DD: There’s a cohesion in a sense that it’s clear that they’re all coming from the same place. There is a new Batman, that’s pretty clear, so that character will be reflected in all the series and the ramifications of the change in the character will be reflected as well. But each of the series comes from a different point of view – Batman & Robin will naturally focus on the new team of batman and Robin, Batman will focus on the new Batman, Detective Comics will focus on the new Batwoman and her role in Gotham City as she tries to affect change; Streets of Gotham will focus on the supporting cast members of Gotham’s world and how they interact with Batman; Gotham City Sirens will be dealing with Catwoman, Ivy and Harley Quinn and their adventures, many of which may dovetail in with other adventures that are taking place in other places in other aspects of Batman’s world; Outsiders deals with Alfred who will be seen in other books, but this is Alfred’s mission and directive and is about adventures that take place outside of Gotham City and Batgirl will be featuring...well, we’ll leave that for another day.
NRAMA: And all of those are ongoing?
DD: Yes they are.
NRAMA: 7) Speaking of Batman & Robin – with te announcement of Grant and Frank on that title, a lot of people immediately started wondering about scheduling. How are you going to be working that out with this title, given that Frank’s not really a monthly artist?
DD: All Star Superman was a particular book that was the story that Grant and Frank were telling, so that’s why we waited on that one. In this case, we all are going in with our eyes open in regards to the expectations and the challenges of doing a monthly series with this creative team. Grant is working with Frank on beginning the books – they started early, but more importantly, we will make sure this book comes out, and the story is constructed in a way that other artists can come in so we can keep it on a monthly schedule.
NRAMA: 19) With the options that are coming up in regards to storytelling – that meaning, the use of co-features in books, will we be seeing the tales of Cave-Batman and his roommate anywhere in the coming months?
DD: If that man is Bruce Wayne, and he is in a cave, then the answer is that yes, that is a story that will definitely be told in the DC Universe at some point.
