Especially being able to put him in real world situations like finding friends at school and getting homework done and things. He’s kind of almost basically an adult more than a kid and so I kind of wanted to hit the spot of Damian where he’s a lot younger, and he is still more of a kid than we’ve seen.

How did you develop your own take on the son of Batman? So then I pitched that story to them, and they liked it – so here we are.ĭS: I noticed that with Damian, your characterization is somewhat different to the way he is depicted in the comics. I thought I could take that story, put Robin as one of the characters that was in the story, and then make it a Batman and Robin story. They asked me if I’d be interested in doing something in the middle grade space and I had an idea for a middle grade story that was just kind of sitting in the back of my mind. They’ve been really great about doing a lot of books for kids and younger readers the past five, six years. Batman was always one of my favorite superheroes so, for me, it was less intimidating and more an exciting opportunity to get to play with these characters.ĭS: Did DC approach you about Batman or did you have the opportunity to pitch to them? So for me, it was getting to write fanfiction – it was as fun as much as it was work. I mean, one of the things about Star Wars was that I grew up with Star Wars. Dean Simons: You jumped from Star Wars to Batman.
