Interview with comics writer and inker Karl Kesel: 'Harley Quinn is the first big break-out character'

I haven’t read a Superman or Batman comic in years (except for Grant Morrison’s great work on ALL-STAR SUPERMAN and BATMAN INCORPORATED— both of which I loved!) so I really can’t speak to what I might do differently with either. From what I understand, Dan Jurgens is handling one of the Superman books, and I can confidently say I’m sure he’s doing the sort of Superman I would enjoy. As for Batman: I’m of two minds. I love the stripped-down, ground-level version of the character that we saw in Miller’s BATMAN YEAR ONE— possibly the most perfect comic mini-series ever— but I also have a deep fondness for the wacky Batman of the 1950s, which Grant Morrison so brilliantly re-imagined in BATMAN INCORPORATED. Either version is completely valid, if you ask me.
