“I can only tell you I never expected to be drawing Gotham as Scott has it written in the first issue,” Capullo tells Parallel Worlds.
“Within the first five pages of the first script, I was like WTF! You know, what is going on in this thing?”
“Yeah, the fun of it is,” adds Snyder,
“you will open the book, and see from Page 1, 2 and 3, and 4, how different it is from Year One. You’re going to close it back up and look at the cover to make sure you picked up the right book!”
