I have this constant fear I got onto [Batman] too early. As a comic book writer, I’m a baby. I’m maybe five years old? Literally. Grant took on the character when he was Grant Morrison. He had done amazing things with All-Star Superman, New X-Men, right and left. Frank [Miller] had done amazing things with Daredevil. … I was talking about this with Neil Gaiman at a Vertigo gathering, and it’s pretty funny. We were at dinner and then he asked me how I was doing with Batman. I told him about “Super Heavy” and that I was nervous. He stopped me and said, “Scott, you’re worried that you’re not good enough,” which I replied that I was. “Soon,” he said, “you’ll be worried because you used to be better.”

It’s just a hill – up the bad side, down the bad side.
