Batman Off World #1 is out now, conratz on pulling off a compelling and different kind of Batman story!As far as pitches are concerned, was Off World your first pitch to DC?The story picks up with Batman only 1 year into his tenure as a superhero, what were the factors in setting the story at this point in time?I saw you had mentioned in a previous interview your love of Atari Force, is there any desire to ask DC to dust it off and give you a whirl writing a new series? There’s something so primal about how you write Batman, reminding me of Batman vs. Predator in some respects. What goes into writing Batman in a state of constantly improving on himself?There are a lot of different alien races in Batman Off-World, one of which is the Branx created by Marv Wolfman, George Pérez, did you have to dig deep into your research to pick which aliens to add to the story?How do you balance the grounded nature of batman with, aliens and spaceships?I saw some commotion on Reddit around Ione and Batman kissing on a cover, what kind of woman do you think can steal Batman’s heart?Switching gears to Action Comics #1061, I adore what you’re doing with Bizarro, and similar to Batman Off-World, you’re dealing with another alien world, this time Sorcerers' World. Is it fair to say you’re interest lies with alien worlds and characters at DC Comics?Do you have a favorite Bizarro story?  John Timms brings a lot of dynamic action in the first issue of the story arc, is there a panel or page where he blew your expectations away?Do you have a method in writing Bizarro dialogue, like do you write the dialogue than reverse it?

With six issues under your belt, do you feel like you understand the character even better?You’re also writing a Wild Dog story that kicked off in Batman: The Brave and the Bold #7, the first chapter has such great cadence and pace, what makes Wild Dog so fun to write?If detective agency Pine and Merrimac had to take on a case with Peacemaker OR Wild Dog, would they take it?
