But I love the idea of Bruce wandering into a city alone not knowing exactly where everything is anymore. I also wanted to sort of dive a little bit into how Gotham was able to advance so quickly, and with the idea that Bruce gave everything away, and donated to charity, and created all these funds for the city and whatnot, that it kind of seemed a little plausible that a city infused with a billion-dollar fortune could make these sort of changes within a 10 year period. So for me, it was mostly about setting and the possibility of Bruce going out there alone and not having any idea of what this new city is. Drawing traditional Gotham is great for the last two volumes but I was really looking forward to drawing sort of Blade Runner Batman Beyond, sort of Neo-Gotham. "I think every artist sort of wants Blade Runner and I've done it a few times in my career with Tokyo Ghost, and a few other sci-fi books I'm sure I did. The Batman Beyond universe is known for its slick tech-heavy aesthetic, and it provided Murphy a chance to shake up Bruce's familiarity with the city, as after 10 years and a host of upgrades the city is not the one he knew like the back of his hand before he went to prison. ![]()
