NRAMA: With Streets of Gotham, it sounds as if you’re going with an all too often ignored take, that is, focusing on how Batman is seen, rather than showing the story through Batman’s point of view. What can you say about the different views that will be highlighted?
PD: One of the things that has always formed an image of Batman for me goes back to the animated series. The first thing that anybody ever saw from Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski was a little trailer which in part became our opening for the very first animated series, which had these thugs on a rooftop and Batman is just...there. He’s like a living shadow. You don’t even see any detail on him – he’s just a silhouette. I’ve always liked that interpretation of Batman – you see him from the crooks’ point of view, or you see him from an innocent person’s point of view. So with this, it was “Let’s leave the Batcave behind, let’s leave the alter ego behind, let’s just do Batman and the effect he has on people.â€
That’s a lot of fun, seeing it from that point of view.
NRAMA: As you said at the Wonder Con panel, there will be multiple points of view showing Batman – how will you pull a throughline through all of this?
PD: We’re looking at doing it more in arcs like “Heart of Hush.†We have some stories in the works about some very compelling people, and we’ll have compelling stories that take place from the point of view of regular people of Gotham or Jim Gordon or cops on his staff who find themselves working in tandem, or at odds with, this creature known as Batman.
In short : BUY IT.

He's been writing Detective Comics for a while now, about the same time as Morrison took over Batman.
He also was the main force, with Bruce Timm, behind the Batman Animated series.
He created Harley Quinn and wrote the comics that introduced her in the DC-verse proper.
He also did the oversized DC books with Alex Ross featuring DC icons.
And the Jingle Belle books at Image.
