Quote

That's what everyone thinks--they think being a cop is about punishing people for doing wrong. But that's not true. You know it isn't. It's about believing in people, believing in the good. In the will of people to do what's right despite their own instincts.

KGBeast starts chasing our heroes in a big way, and you get the return of an old character from the mythology that I think people will be really excited to see.

Sometimes, all it takes is a few words to change your life.

Batman is the one you go to for answers and Clark Kent is the one you go to to really do the right thing. He stands as a shining example of what to do in any situation.

The Cursed Wheel, which Declan [Shalvey] is starting here, is the one constant. It's a story in the backups that will go through the whole year and be the one consistent narrative. It anchors the entire [book].

Bruce sees in this character - who fought all the way through Superheavy when his parents were missing, and now is determined to fight even though his parents are telling him he's worth nothing - the essence of Batman.

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.
Scott Snyder

It's one of the worst nightmare situations we could create for a young character, having the people who are supposed to believe in you keep telling you you're nothing.

Beware The Court of Owls, that watches all the time, ruling Gotham from a shadowed perch, behind granite and lime. They watch you at your hearth, they watch you in your bed speak not a whispered word of them or they'll send the Talon for your head.

[Duke] is the same way that Harper Row is a character who doesn't want to know who you are beneath the mask, and that makes her interesting. She'll show up and help Batman, but she never wants to know if he's Bruce Wayne.

There's nothing comparative to Damien [the current Robin] or any of the other characters. I love those characters. And this isn't, This is better than that. I think a couple of people misread what we had said in the first issue about that stuff.

You take the thing that is the worst thing that could have happened to you, the worst challenge in your life, and you turn it into fuel. You don't give up. And that's what Gotham is about.

A post-9/11, modern take being Batman training people to be the heroes they know they can be on their own.

[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.

- If I tell you, will you let met go? - You bet, partner. [...] - You promised! - Nope. I said you bet. You did ... and you lost.

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

What Batman is saying is that, I want to try something new that's more about this era and this moment. And I do think that it speaks to a modern take [as opposed] to a 90s take or a 2000s take being maybe the older program about having a sidekick.

I read THE WICKED + THE DIVINE last night, and no matter how high your expectations are for it, its better.

If I know what something's about, and I can always have that touchstone, I feel like I can reach for really ridiculous humor and also go really dark in terms of the things I'm afraid of.

Duke is a character who believes that heroism and the Robin mantle can exist entirely separate from Batman himself.
