Morrison on Batman and Robin
Newsarama.com has an interesting interview up, with Grant Morrison. Here is an excerpt from the article.
NRAMA: How is the way Frank draws Batman and his world different from the way he renders Superman?
GM: It’s much more kinetic. Batman and Robin is a heavily action-oriented book unlike Superman which was plot-driven, very tightly constructed and controlled. The work here has a little more of the We3-style energy and fragmentation about it.
We’ve had a lot of fun working out the different fighting styles of Batman and Robin – Dick Grayson is more slender than Bruce Wayne, and younger. His moves are more gymnastic, exuberant and acrobatic when he fights, with lots of somersaults and Le Parkeur-type stunts.
Damian is like a little war machine – direct, brutal and deadly. He takes it all very seriously. As I’ve been writing his scenes and seeing the art come in, there’s something about the whole “pint-sized scrapper” aspect of his character that’s reminding me of early Wolverine. He just won’t give in. He’s a badass kid who thinks he’s invulnerable – and because his organs can be harvested and replaced at his mother’s expense any time – he practically is!
NRAMA: Tell us about your work with the other artists on the series.
GM: . I’ve just started on my arc with Philip Tan and looking forward to seeing what he’s going to do with the Red Hood story. I’m encouraging him to do the really moody, high-contrast noir-ish stuff he’s so good at.
I know Frazer Irving’s coming on to do an arc and I’m very excited about working with him again. I’ve been dreaming of how the Frazer Irving Batman could look since we first worked together.
