We're going to be exploring stuff with Betty Kane. There's no way that could not be addressed. We're going to be exploring stuff with Maggie Sawyer. There will be lots of interesting things coming up. There's going to be a reintroduction of an older character that I'm somewhat associated from my career path that will be making its way into the book. Hopefully people will like it. The flavor of ["Batwoman"] definitely moves differently than with what Greg and I were doing in terms of story structure. At the beginning of the series, it definitely feels like you're getting more of what came before instead of starting over. By introducing a lot of new elements, the story structure has more cutting together of various pieces that will build to a greater whole, much more along lines of the story editing in the "Dark Knight" film, where all these intersecting pieces build up to a greater piece. It has its own voice, I think, and will be different enough but not feel alienating.

He'll be working with co-writer Haden Blackman. The "zero issue" of the comic series, which Williams describes as a "bridge from what came before to what comes next," will hit stores in November. The book takes a look at the Batwoman character from Batman's point-of-view, Williams said.
"We're kind of all over the place," he said. "The first story is horror, the second is espionage and intrigue, then we have a fantasy epic and then it goes into a family nighttime drama -- all with a twisted point of view. It sounds like it's all over the place with the genres, but we figured out how they dovetail into each other in a natural way. I think it's really, really cool."

Williams: Yeah. Definitely. The writing for the first arc isn't as experimental as it will be in the second arc, as far as the way the plot is structured. There are certain scenes that we need to be very visceral. But there are going to be some scenes that will have a very surreal, strange effect going on. It's hard to explain without giving away too many plot details. Like a lot of things I do with my art, I have a fusion of visual ideas and techniques and different styles on one page or within the story. As I was developing plot with Haden, I found myself wanting to work on stories where the plotlines and the plot ideas do the same thing. I think that's where we ended up with the first arc being more horror and the next one moving into an espionage thing, but they all kind of dovetail into each other through plot development and characterization.
