"About five years ago I wrote the story for Steve Dillon, figuring that it would be the best way to cement his comeback. He’d been ill for a while but was now keen to get back to where he’d been, and with the Preacher show about to kick off, I thought it would gain the maximum publicity possible -- the Preacher team doing Batman (I suppose I could have gone for X-Men or whatever instead, but I have my limits). Probably my most cynically commercial decision ever. Anyway, not long after I wrote the last script, fate intervened in the worst possible way…" - Garth Ennis
"For me, the book isn’t a tribute to Steve, it’s just something that in practical terms exists because of him. I don’t think anyone would be too surprised to learn that were I to celebrate Steve’s life it wouldn’t be with a Batman comic or any kind of comic -- it would be with a large donation to his favourite charitable cause, the Arthur Guinness Foundation. But I do like to think of him having a good old laugh at Mr. I-hate-superheroes ending up writing Batman." - Garth Ennis
