GKO: MADHOUSE
Here you will find our rambalings on all area's of Batman, interviews and speical features!
Newsarama: Mike, was this idea to have two Batmen something Grant conceived?
Mike Marts: Yeah. Like most of the big things we've been doing with the Batman group over the last few years, most of the big ideas are coming from Grant Morrison's direction. And that includes this idea of more than one Batman that we're rolling out.
Nrama: Since their costumes are a little different, are they two different Batmen in public? Can people within the DCU tell there are two different Batmen?
Marts: That's not quite revealed yet. That's something that will become apparent in the first few issues of our Batman Inc. in November.
Nrama: Can you tell us anything about what this means to Dick Grayson and Bruce Wayne as individuals?
Marts: That's something the two of them are going to have to figure out themselves. But it will definitely require a re-examining of their individual roles as heroes. And also what the whole concept and idea of Batman means to not only Gotham City, but the world as well.
Nrama: So is this an internal examination on the part of Dick and Bruce, or more about the external perception of Batman?
Marts: It's more about what Batman means to the world than what it means to these two individuals. They've been heroes for so long that they don't take it personal. Whatever happens along the way. They're able to roll with the punches and able to adapt.
Their goal is going to be more global. It's going to be bigger than just what Batman means to them personally.
Nrama: Global. Got it. Let's talk about the fact that Dick Grayson has three books and Bruce Wayne has two books. Is there a reason for that difference?
Marts: You know, that's a loose line-up. Moving forward, we'll definitely have the flexibility to play with that a little bit. But at least at the onset, in November, that's the way we're dividing things up.
