As I keep saying one of the Bat titles I'm looking forward to the most this June is Detective Comics featuring Batwoman. Newsarama have sat down with artist J.H. Williams to talk about his upcoming work on the title...
NRAMA: Looking at the character design sheets that have come out, you're tweaking Batwoman's costume somewhat - was this something that you wanted to do for her to make sense for you to draw her, or was it something that came from Greg or DC?
JHW: I definitely felt she needed to make more sense visually. The overall look is still there but we removed aspects that now let's you take the character more seriously. There was a bit of hokiness (is that a word?) to her before. She needed to be tough as nails. Greg also had certain things he wanted altered too, such as her skin tone, which I completely agreed on. He had been trying to get her skin redhead pale/white ever since her first appearance. It's a brilliant choice when concerning her visual palette; it gives her a more graphic appearance. He and I had some good conversations early on to get where we both wanted to come from with her. The first result was actually the cover to the first issue - that was the first time I drew her at all. Then DC wanted a rough construction drawing of the different elements and that is where the character sheet came from, so that was secondary to the first cover. Kinda backwards, but that is usually what happens with me since most of my designing is done on the actual pages, things like that tend to be filed away in my head rather than on paper.
