Over at Slate.com, Brad Meltzer, while commenting on the end of Harry Potter, talks a little bit about his comic work...
When I wrote my first Batman scene, well … I'd waited my whole life to write that scene. Batman had always been my favorite;... Before I started, I came up with a storyline that I thought would work well. But when I wrote the word Batman in the script and I waited to see what his first words would be, I realized: You know what? Batman would never be in this scene. I know it sounds insane, but for that moment, the character was just so much bigger than me. At the crucial moment, my internal sense of how Batman would and wouldn't behave outweighed my own desires about plot and narrative.
