Dan Didio announced yesterday on Newsarama.com that Mark Bagley, will be taking over artistic duties on Batman with Judd Winick in July with #688.

Newsarama have posted an interview today with Mark, to discuss moving from Trinity onto Batman universe...

NRAMA: Is Batman and his "world" a place you're instantly comfortable in, or have you been reviewing and refreshing, so to speak?

Mark Bagley: I'm somewhat familiar with the Batman books...I will certainly be checking out the books a little more closely now though. But if Mike Marts and his crew are as efficient as Carlin's office I should have no problem getting all the reference that I may need.

NRAMA: At the same time, you're coming in post Battle for the Cowl, and this is a new Batman with his own take and some of his own toys. Is coming in with a "new" Batman like this more or less comfortable for you as an artist? It would seem that this way, you have a little more wiggle room to experiment and design somewhat...

MB: True. Batman is so frickin' iconic, that even at my best I don't feel comfortable with him. This Batman gives me a bit of wiggle room visually, and I'm a little more relaxed because of it. It's like with Spider-Man...I never felt the Amazing Spidey Spider-Man was really mine the way I did with Ultimate Spider-Man.

NRAMA: As you see it, is this Batman different physically from Bruce Wayne, both in size as well as his style and movement?

MB: I'm really not sure how much I should say about that now...but it is a different person under the cowl, so naturally I'll approach the drawing of the character in a way that reflects that.
