GKO: MADHOUSE
Here you will find our rambalings on all area's of Batman, interviews and speical features!
What's going on with the new Batwoman series? Your blog suggests that it's hit a few snags recently.
There's a little editorial stuff, you know--[editor] Mike Siglain got this offer from Disney that he's taking, so there are some editorial shifts over issue lengths and stuff. But things are running and production is moving forward.
I gather that you and Greg Rucka were originally planning to make your third arc in Detective a resolution to the story of Alice from Elegy; is that story still going to be happening in Batwoman, or is that going off in a different direction?
It's going off in a different direction, primarily because I just want to respect what Greg wanted to do--that was the story he wanted to tell. Even though I had a great deal of input on some of it, pretty much how we worked throughout the whole thing, I just felt like I didn't really want to tell that story without Greg. I figured I'd leave that door open for him. And if, ultimately, he decides that he doesn't want to ever do it, maybe I can address some of the concerns over that character at that time.
So what should we look forward to?
A little bit of everything, in a lot of ways. Which is not surprising, considering how I tend to approach my drawing--I tend to throw a lot of ideas into a single illustration sometimes. The stories are going to be quite varied, even though they all will have interconnecting threads that carry the series through, because we ultimately have a much bigger story to tell. But the bigger story can kind of be broken down into arcs within the greater arc, and each of those individual arcs have their own unique flavor. The first arc is very much a horror story, and then the second is an espionage/intrigue sort of thing, and after that sort of a fantasy epic for the third, and initial plans for the fourth are more along the lines of a family drama. These are the core sensibilities of what's being presented, but at the same time, like I was saying, they'll all be connected through plotlines, and natural progressions from each other. It's been a lot of fun so far.
Is the second arc the one that Amy Reeder is drawing?
Yeah!
