Here is a fantastic interview with Dan Didio over at Comics Alliance, who talks about the new Batman Universe with Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne as Batman and Robin and also talks about why it took three years for Batwoman to come into the comic books and a possible solo series if she proves popular in Detective Comics.

ComicsAlliance: What's been the reaction to the recent revelation that Dick Grayson, the original Robin, is now the new Batman?

Dan DiDio: We had a lot of speculation about who was going to be the new Batman, and one of the things that I found most surprising was that most people were trying to guess in a different direction. But from our standpoint, we were always pretty locked in on the fact that Dick Grayson was going to be the new Batman... the legacy aspect plays into everything that makes DC great, where we have so many characters that have moved from one generation to another. People have become very invested in [Dick Grayson] character over the years, and interested to see how he accepts the mantle.

CA: Are the people of Gotham -- and the larger world -- aware that Dick Grayson is a different Batman when he reappears in the cowl?

DD: When you first see him, he's right next to [Bruce Wayne's son] Damian as the new Robin. And just by noticing this different Robin, and the brand new dynamic for the team, people are also picking up that there's a different Batman. It takes the dynamic and flips it upside down -- where at first Batman was grimmer and more driven, [Dick] is a lot lighter, he's a lot more fun. And on the reverse side where you used to have the carefree Robin before, you have a grim and gritty and angry little boy being Robin now.
