Summary The Dark Knight is DC Comics’ crown jewel, but no story is serving him better than the DC Black Label series Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham. This story is set in a radically different Gotham, one where the city lacks its usual cache of colorful criminals, but is still suffering from all manner of crime.

Rafael Grampá: First of all, it's very difficult to create a new Batman version because there's so many good ones. The first thing that you need to think is "Don't try to present something that I think it's a better version." Don't go for it. You ruin the journey. So my point was create something that I believed could be fun for me. I started to revisit, revisit his origin some years ago.

Rafael Grampá: I live in São Paulo. This is the experience that I have of a big city. That was easy. I just brought some the worst elements of São Paulo to Gotham and also the one of the some of the nicest elements. But this is a Batman from the point of view of a person that lives in Brazil, a South American person. Actually, I'm the first Brazilian artist to write a Batman story. That became something for our country.

Rafael Grampá: I had ideas for villains for Batman stories but with inspirations from Silence of the Lambs. And I thought we'd be strong, bringing those inspirations for Batman stories. Because back then, the classic Batman villains have that origin based on films and posters. And posters, Two-Face was inspired by the Jekyll and Hyde poster. So when I realized that I needed new villains, I started thinking about those ideas and references that fit.

I want to talk about the animations you guys have had in coordination with the every every issue that's been released. It's such an innovative way to market the series and I think it's a step above what we see from other books.
