GKO: MADHOUSE
Here you will find our rambalings on all area's of Batman, interviews and speical features!
IGN Comics: First off, you're newly exclusive to DC and your first regular interior assignment is with Batman. I have to imagine you did have significant input in that, and could have picked from much of DC's library. Why Batman? Is it the character? The vibe or tone of the franchise? Is it the thrill of Gotham City – its villains?
David Finch: I've always been a big Batman fan, so getting the chance to put my mark on the character was very important to me. Batman really is about a lot more than just Bruce Wayne though. It's the mood of Gotham City, and all of his crazy villians that make the book what it is.
IGN Comics: Batman: The Dark Knight has the distinction for you, and for the readers, of being a series that you not only draw but write as well. What made you pursue the writing side of the series? Was this something you had been wanting to do for a while?
Finch: I've wanted to have more of a direct input in regards to story for a while, and this was a great opportunity to jump in and run with it. I love to have the control to tell the kind of visual stories that I want to, but the characters and their journeys are very important to me too.
IGN Comics: Obviously being the writer and artist you can approach the creation of the series from any number of angles. How do you do it? Do you write out a full script ahead of time or let your instincts as an artist guide from a more vague outline? How does that creative process work here?
Finch: I started out with a very tight outline for my first six issues, and I wrote the first script out completely before I started, but I'm finding that I'm tweaking and changing along the way. I'm starting to loosen up and let the things that come more naturally in the drawing stage stay more undefined, but keeping the overall planning pretty controlled.
