Ed Brubaker recently talked to the website <a href="http://www.comicbookresources.com">Comic Book Resources</a> about his his upcoming Gotham Central title. He is sharing writing duties with Greg Rucka, with Micheal Lark providing the art.
Man of the initial questions was whether or not the title was limited or ongoing. Thankfully, Brubaker addresses the length of series by commented, "It will be an ongoing series until they decide to end it."
"It's about cops in Gotham City and what it's like being a cop in the DCU. There's a lot of commercial potential. I'd compare it to Busiek's 'Marvels' series. We've seen the superhero world through the eyes of a reporter, I wanted to work on a book that showed that world through the eyes of the cops."
Brubaker said he wanted Gotham Central to explore themes such as, "How does it feel when you can't solve a case and the commissioner has to go upstairs and flick the switch on the Bat-Signal?"
