I really wanted to make sure that if we set Duke up, that he's set up the right way and he's his own hero for the right reasons.

Jordie Bellaire knows how to tell a story with color.

On this global stage, Superman is someone that we can all look up to and he's almost kind of ultimately American.

One of the things that's great is that Batman is a character that lends himself to very personal stories.

Does it matter how long they were together that night? To lovers, an hour can last a century. But even for lovers, every hour ends.

I think thing that makes Batman so endlessly interesting is that he's one of the most flawed and deeply human characters, even though he seems completely the most inhuman and infallible in costume. Psychologically he's one of the most complicated in both his strengths and his weaknesses. For me, one of his great strengths and weaknesses is that confidence. His emotional self-protection is one of the things that makes him heroic and sacrificing; he doesn't have a personal life. He sacrifices those to be the best hero he can be.

[Bruce] sees a lot of himself in [Batman], you know? You could argue that something even worse than what happened to Bruce happened to [Duke's] parents, who are now Joker-ized*. They're not just gone or irretrievably lost. And I'm NOT curing them, so you can put that out there! There's no relief from that.
