Using other artists’ styles also belays a notion that you have keenly understood what their style brings to a story. It’s a tricky balance, and I’m anxious to see how it all shakes out.Īrrant: In the previous Detective Comics story arcs, you did some homages to Batman artists of the past – working in their style for certain appropriate scenes. But at the same time, I’m working to find a way for it to be cohesive with what came before. It’s important for me to make her feel comfortable doing her own style. I’m trying to interject a lot of things but not be too heavy-handed and allow Amy Reeder to draw the way she draws – not the way I draw. A lot of times we’re dealing with the esoteric emotion side of things, and it’s important to think about how scenes could play out with a particular layout and what that could symbolize. I want to write scripts that are fully fleshed out and have some sort of readability to them. I can’t help but think in those terms, and it goes into my writing as well. In some ways, I’m trying to put down on paper visual descriptive stimulation along the lines of something you’d want to read besides just a bare-bones outline of a story and “here’s some dialogue to go with it.” Williams: Essentially it’s one of the things where you try to get as much descriptive detail in the document that you’re working on it’s not just “here’s what happens and here’s where it happens.” But it’s important to imbue the feelings the scenes should evoke, and what the storytellers’ point is for the scene and larger story. It was a matter of doing brainstorming, figuring out what the series needed, a lot of invention, and plans for a creating a rogue’s gallery that Batwoman can call her own. At the same time, it needs to feel natural as to what came before it. But besides that, it was just a matter of taking a look at the material and seeing what sort of angle we could take that might not be expected.
There were certain plot elements Greg planned on following up on that I’m going to avoid in case he plans on returning and pursuing those. Williams: Well, the first thing I did was examine the direction of the series so far. But this is undoubtedly your biggest writing gig yet – so what did you do to freshen up your skills on plotting and dialogue? Then I’m going to put the finishing touches on a couple other scripts for the series.Īrrant: After departure, you were the natural choice to continue Kate’s story – especially given the intense nature of the creation of the character, as well as your own writing background. Williams III: I’m working on the tale end of Issue 1 of Batwoman, on the art side specifically.
