Not only will David Finch be giving us the awesome cover to Batman #700, but will be drawing some of the issue as well, which was announced at C2E2 over last weekend. Mr. Finch recently sat down with Newsarama to discuss the project...

Newsarama: David, just overall, how was it getting to draw a story for Batman #700?

Finch: This is such an important milestone issue for Batman, I was obviously very happy to be involved. What really makes it special is the script by Grant. I certainly don't hold out hope to do Grant the kind of justice that Frank Quitely does, but I feel like it's bringing out my best. His writing is incredibly vivid, and it creates pictures in my head that are pretty awesome. We'll see how much of that awesome I can translate to the page.

Nrama: What can you tell us about the subject of the story?

Finch: It's very expansive for six pages. Grant is touching on a lot of future Batmen and incorporating them into the wider mythology that he's building.

Nrama: Anything you got to draw for this story that stood out as a favorite or a challenge?

Finch: I don't want to ruin it, but one scene in particular is very surreal. I had to incorporate elements of manga and pop surrealism among other things, and I can only hope that it shows a portion of what's written on the page.

Nrama: Anything about the story that surprised you?

Finch: Everything about this story surprised me, and I don't want to spoil anything at all.
