The Day You Write To Please Everyone

The Comics I Read As A Kid Were All About Guys In Tights. But Here Was A Guy Who Wore A Fedora. He Fought Crime Like They Did In Marvel And Dc, But He Did It In The Real World. I Had Just Turned 12 When I Met The Spirit And It Was A Strange Coincidence. At The Same Time I Discovered Girls I Fell Out Of Love With Guys In Tights.

I Guess In My Own Egotistical Way I Like To Create My Own Library Of Batman Books That Doesn't Run Contrary To A Single Thing That Has Been Published Before, But It Also Stands On Its Own.

I Don't Own An Ounce Of The Work I've Ever Done On 'batman,' And I Still Work On 'batman.' I Love The Character, I Think It's A Lot Of Fun, And It's Kind Of Fun To Be In That Ballpark Every Once In A While, Where You're Seeing A Different Crowd.

I Don't Do A Comic Book Thinking There Is A Movie. I Just Want It To Be As Good A Comic Book As It Can Be.

I'm A Spoilt Brat. I Thought I Was Just Going To Walk In And Make Movies. But I'd Been My Own Boss For So Long That All Of A Sudden To Be Facing A Roomful Of People Who Were Niggling Over Every Little Scene... I Just Thought I'd Go Back And Draw My Comics And Have A Happy Life.
