Batman: The Deal Creators Discuss Their Hugely Popular Fan Fiction Comic

If your friends are anything like mine, sometime over the last few days you’ve seen a fan-created comic book called Batman: The Deal a number of times on social media.Created by Gerardo Preciado and Daniel Bayliss and posted online last week, the story is their ultimate take on Batman and The Joker’s love-hate relationship, not entirely unlike the way their relationship was depicted in The Dark Knight or Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s recent Death of the Family storyline.The story is punctuated by a lengthy quotation from stand-up comic Bill Hicks, a kind of philosophical monologue that gives a unique take on the never-ending struggle between the pair.We caught up with Preciado and Bayliss to discuss the story, which you can read at the link above.
