Looking back at "Night of the Owls" for a second, you had William Cobb not only disappointed in Dick but calling him an imitation Batman, something that I know I've heard people say about the character. Was that you sort of calling out the detractors in real life who think that as well?

Oh yeah, that's 100% where it comes from. I mean I've heard that for year, for as long as I've been reading "Nightwing" and been a fan of the character that's always been the knock. "Well, he's just Batman Light!" I've said this before, but I've had other creators say to me when I was starting my run, "Well you can't keep him in Gotham, if you do he's just Batman Light -- if stuff gets too real or too problematic Batman will just get involved." That's a very valid point, but I kind of look at it like a challenge. I feel there are a lot of really interesting dynamics in the book by keeping him in Gotham, in the same city as Batman. For me showing he's not "Batman Light," for lack of a better term, doing it in Gotham City, is much more interesting.
