Newsarama has posted an interview with writer Paul Dini on his upcoming Batman titles this coming June; Streets of Gotham and Gotham City Sirens and what to expect from these series.

Newsarama: Paul, was this move to Gotham City Sirens and Streets of Gotham always in the plans for you? Did you pitch these when you heard the plans for Batman after Final Crisis, or did they call you looking for a writer?

Paul Dini: A little bit of both. Things were going to change after Batman R.I.P., and they were going to shake things up on Batman and Detective, and I don’t think anybody was really sure about exactly what was going to go on – we’re talking back in the formative stages, nearly a year ago. So we sat down and starting asking what would be fun to do as a Batman book, and just shot around a bunch of ideas. There was a lot of back and forth and give and take with Streets of Gotham, but I came up with a take that I was really excited about, and my editor Mike Marts got excited about it, and talked with Dan [DiDio] about it in early December, and we all decided to go ahead with it. I never wanted to be too far away from the Batman universe, and Dan and Mike never wanted me all that far away, either.

So that was the first one we were going to do, and then Gotham City Sirens came up, and I couldn't resist.
