Jock's Dark Knight Detective


Scott Snyder and Jock are two of the most welcome additions to the Bat-universe in a long time. Today DC's blog featured the dynamic-as-hell artwork from Detective Comics #876 by Jock. Dick Grayson is leaping spectacularly over Gotham, the panels move over Batman as he descends on the city below.

The artist describes the collaborative relationship between he and Snyder:
"One of the elements writer Scott Snyder and I talked about while planning our issues is Dick's gymnastic background, and how it’s important to distinguish between Bruce and Dick under the cowl. So I’m drawing a completely different Batman to the more thick set, monolithic figure I’d draw if it were Bruce Wayne."

Let's hope this Snyder and Jock remain in Gotham for a nice, long visit.
