I had a lot, a lot of fun doing this cover. I wanted to do something similar to my very first Batman cover, 670, but really didn't want to retread the idea. But this being a variant cover, I figured this is my only opportunity to do something similar but different enough to actually do. I mean how many covers are there that have Batman perched on some kind of gargoyle or rooftop? I'd say too many to count over the years. It's iconic and people want to see that, but as an artist, you try to bring something new to the common portrayal. I probably will shy away from gargoyle perchings for a good while now, especially since this one is out of my system.
