Newsarama: Scott, Josh and James, how did the three of you end up working on this one issue together? And how did you divide that up?
Joshua Williamson: We've been talking about this book for so long. And at one point, we started talking about doing something with Bruce in the Dark Multiverse. So we had all these conversations about what we wanted to do with it.
Then after all these conversations the three of us have been having, we started talking about this issue. And we knew we all wanted to write it.
I think there was a part of us that each of us really wanted to write, so it because this thing were we thought, well, why don't we just do it together?
James Tynion IV: It was also that, while we were plotting it, we started seeing that there were three threads through the story, each expressing a different part of Bruce's journey through the Dark Multiverse.
And the nice thing about it was that each of us was kind of drawn to one of the threads. We each wanted to go at it.
So one week, when we needed to start putting words down on the paper, we were just like, "OK, Josh you go tackle this bit, James you go tackle that," and then Scott tackled one of the major framing pieces.
Ultimately, that ended up with a full, comprehensive plot that we started passing back and forth.
It was a really seamless process. For an issue that handles so much of Batman's history and the cosmos and the history of the DC Universe in general, it was a very smooth process to write.
