CLUE #2: 'The First Villain' - Finch on CBR: "Killer Croc, right away. Killer Croc actually appears very early in Jim Lee's initial run on Hush, and I think he was the first villain that appeared in Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso's run. I didn't want to copy what they were doing, but I loved that and I loved the character, so it's a bit of a nod to some of my favorite Batman stories."
CLUE #3: 'The Co-star' - Finch on Newsarama: "The Demon plays an ongoing part in the book. Jason Blood is very helpful to Batman when it comes to understanding his enemy."
MOTIVE: Undecided? Then be sure to read the full interviews on both CBR and Newsarama, before checking out Batman: The Return, an October one-shot written by scribe Grant morrison, with Finch on art. It will set-up the direction of Batman: The Dark Knight, and no doubt stir up plenty of conviction from fans in the process.

Honestly, this is the first time a Batbook has appealed to me in months.
ReplyDeleteI'm no big fan of Finch's but every character mentioned there plays perfectly into his style and tendencies.
I do find it sad, however, that this book was announced today, a new Wolverine book was announced yesterday and Atlas was announced as coming to an end.
I know what you are saying Doug - I'm almost more excited to see David's Etrigan, than I am his Batman!
ReplyDeleteIf this spills out into a series for Jason Blood, I won't be complaining.
It's horrible when a book you love gets the knock isn't it - I still miss Captain Britain on my pull-list...
Thanks for the great comments!
