Ed Brubaker: He’s pretty much a blatant ripoff of Dick Tracy. He came into Catwoman in an interesting way, actually. I had been working on Batman for a few months, and Matt Idelson, who was editing Catwoman at the time, called me up and said, “What do you think about Catwoman right now?” We’d been getting advance xeroxes of all the books from the Bat office, so I’d been reading Catwoman in black-and-whites at the time, and they were doing a storyline where Catwoman went to jail and got in naked shower fights. I wasn’t into it. [Laughs]

So I just said, “Well, I don’t personally dig it. I think it’s kind of insulting to women readers, and I don’t know if it’s aimed at women readers, but she’s a really great character. I love the Catwoman stuff from the ’60s and ’70s, and I love Batman: Year One.” I was just sort of kicking ideas around, and I didn’t know he was going to offer me the book, and I said, “What you should do is figure out a way to get her back to those East End roots, but then add that classiness of the high-society thief to it.” Matt said, “That’s a great idea. Do you want to write it?”

I thought about it for a day, and I called him back and said I’d commit to 12 issues, as long as we could give her a new costume and get a new artist, because the guy who was drawing the book at the time was really good, but he was a cheesecake artist. It wasn’t Jim Balent, this was years after Jim Balent had left the book.

A: Oh, you don’t have to tell me where Jim Balent was in 2002.

EB: Yeah, you’re the expert, right? Anyway, that was my condition. We were looking around for an artist, and Matt sent me xeroxes of the first 20 pages of Darwyn Cooke‘s Batman: Ego. I said, “If we could just get this guy, that would be amazing,” and Matt said, “He’s got this big Justice League project that he’s been working on, so I doubt we’ll get him,” and that was New Frontier. Then it turned out Cameron Stewart, who was inking Deadenders, actually shared a studio with Darwyn and Chip Zdarsky and a few other guys. So at Comic-Con, Cameron introduced me to Darwyn, and I told him, “Hey, I’m taking over Catwoman, and I have permission to redesign her costume.” Hoping that would lure him, that chance to redesign and redefine a classic character.

EB: So we got talking about the idea of revamping Catwoman, and that he would only have to stay for the first storyline, because there was some delay on New Frontier, so he just barely had room in his schedule to pencil these four issues.

At that point it was just going to be Catwoman #82, but when he sent in pencils to DC, we were suddenly getting phone calls. Everyone was going crazy for it, and they had to cancel Catwoman and reboot it with a new #1. They wanted to push it back six months and have us do backup stories in Detective that would lead into it, and they were going to have the person who was doing Catwoman rewrite their final issue so that it ended looking like she was dead. I remember being worried Darwyn was going to quit because the book was being pushed back and that might mess up his schedule. I knew he had New Frontier coming up, and that was going to be his priority as soon as he was done penciling Catwoman, because he was writing, drawing all of it. So I got on the phone with Darwyn, and he was actually psyched about it.
