Finch states: "Even though Dick is here, it's not easy for Bruce to completely walk away. As much as Dick has proven himself, Bruce Wayne is still Bruce Wayne. It's very difficult for Bruce to just completely walk away from a fight he's been fighting his whole life. And then there's something in particular that keeps him interested as we kick off the series". Finch also addressed the nature of new, globally themed stories permeating most of the <i>Batman</i> line with Bruce Wayne, and how his title will stand out and largely apart from that trend: "Batman, in my book, is entirely in Gotham City. And yeah, this is the Batman we all know and love, and have for 70 years. Although Batman is spending time all over the world, he still has Gotham City as his home base, and he still has so many connections and ties and grudges and friendships in Gotham City".<sup id="cite_ref-FinchInterview_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FinchInterview-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Finch described his overall take on the character of Bruce Wayne: "Batman is a character that I know very well, and I had a strong sense of direction for him. I would be more reluctant to take on a character that I don't feel like I can relate to as well. He's very driven and black and white. I love that in a world of so much grey he can cut through it with so much clarity. Right or wrong, he never has to question. And there's something very engaging about a character that pushes his limits and never surrenders. There are so many variables and possibilities in a story, but you always know what Batman will do".<sup id="cite_ref-FinchInterview2_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FinchInterview2-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Plot">Plot</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Batman:_The_Dark_Knight&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Plot"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Volume_One">Volume One</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Batman:_The_Dark_Knight&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Volume One"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Launched alongside <i><a href="/wiki/Batman_Incorporated" title="Batman Incorporated">Batman Incorporated</a></i>, the first volume of the series would last five issues.
