Quitely weighed in for Newsarama on his process in coming up with the final image:
“At first I thought it'd be fun to do my own version of Batman and Robin, fully intending to make my cover as different as possible, simply because that's one of the things you can get away with on an alternate cover,” Quitely said. “While I was playing around with the composition of what I wanted to be an absolutely iconic image of them, I started considering what it was specifically about the All Star dynamic duo that I liked, and that's the nature of their relationship - the impact this relationship has on Bruce and Alfred, on Batman and the rest of the league, it's a very loaded, complex thing.
“I re-read the series up to this point and instead of something deliberately ‘alternate', I've ended up with a piece that looks much closer to the established aesthetic of the series than I had at first intended. It's still my version, but it's my version of Frank and Jim's Batman and Robin.”
MUITO foda!!!
