The minds behind 'The Adventure Continues' dive back into the world of Batman with a story they were never able to tell
Initially, it was predicated by the toys coming out, but that said, they’re pretty awesome looking toys.
Rather than make it toy-driven, we thought, what’s an awesome story that involves the core members of our cast — I mean Batman/Bruce and his little family he’s got, with Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl and Alfred — and we’ll weave the new characters in and out of that dynamic. It’s good to have a few things agreed upon in advance, because it challenges you to come up with something that matches that.
Without question, the character I had most fun with was the vampire Batman. I think I must have drawn more action shots and sketch shots of him compared with the others by maybe three to one. Most of the stuff that went into the office — they didn’t see half of what I did. I really enjoyed the Kelley Jones and Doug Moench book that he appeared in, and the idea of trying to turn that into something that Bruce Timm, Glenn Murkami would design was such fun.
I had such a great time doing that. At some point, I’m going to put up on my Instagram all the sketches that nobody got to see.We’re in the middle of the Red Hood story right now, and I think he’s a fascinating character. Going into him and his story and the choices Batman made, and the mistakes he made, and how that came back upon him in the present day.
The animated series in the 1990s is, for many fans, as close to a definitive Batman as has ever existed. Do you feel any pressure in continuing that now, knowing quite how beloved the series was, and what it means to so many people?I mean, I do.
