J.H. Williams III details 'Batwoman'

J.H. Williams III has discussed his writing duties on Batwoman.

The artist, who worked alongside writer Greg Rucka on the acclaimed Batwoman-starring run on Detective Comics, will pen the new ongoing series with co-writer Haden Blackman.

"The first thing I did was examine the direction of the series so far," Williams told Robot 6. "There were certain plot elements Greg planned on following up on that I'm going to avoid in case he plans on returning and pursuing those.

"But besides that, it was just a matter of taking a look at the material and seeing what sort of angle we could take that might not be expected. At the same time, it needs to feel natural as to what came before it. It was a matter of doing brainstorming, figuring out what the series needed, a lot of invention, and plans for a creating a rogue's gallery that Batwoman can call her own."

Williams will illustrate the first arc, with Amy Reeder Hadley providing art for the second. He also intends to illustrate the third arc.

Williams, who has previously written Batman: Snow and a story in Hellboy: Weird Tales, said that he hopes to become known as a writer as well an artist.
