Newsarama has posted a interview with Greg Rucka on his current run of Detective Comics:

Newsarama: This isn’t your first go-around on Detective Comics, but it couldn’t be any more different than last time, Greg. Does it feel like the same book, at all?

Greg Rucka: It's a different animal entirely – there's no question. Batman has been the main character in Detective Comics for awhile now, but the fact that the title originally did feature other lead characters was a large factor in our decision to bring Batomwn here. The precedent was there.

Nrama: Talking history here, Detective Comics is the longest continuously running comic book in the U.S. Was there any kind of anticipation or reluctance to bring in two new characters to be the leads in a book that for so long has been associated with Batman?

Rucka: Not really. [laughs] Both Jim and I have been waiting so long to show people what we're working on, so we're excited to get it out there. Launching this as a "Batwoman #1" versus doing it in Detective Comics took off pressure – it mitigated the idea of jumping into a new #1. I'm very proud of this.

And it's not as if there's a lack of Batman out there in comics, so it's not like we're taking the thunder away from Batman at all. Nobody in the world thinks this is a permanent situation, but I think it's good. Comics fans want new stuff that looks exactly like the old stuff. It is hard for the publishers, and even the audience, to change something.
