Don Kramer lets you know about the organization needed to keep a machine like DC running:
Actually, Detective just dropped into my lap. I was getting ready for 52, had just received the first script and literally was just starting to read the first line when I got a call from my editor, Pete Tomasi that they were moving me onto Detective. There were some scheduling conflicts between [series writer] Paul [Dini], J.H. Williams and Rags [Morales] that simply worked in my favor. I was asked to do a couple of sketches as to how I would draw the Riddler (the costume with the glasses was described to me). They already knew how I drew Batman, since I just came off the [Face the Face] run with James Robinson. They E-mailed me the script and I was off and running. Well, it’s been more of a jog.

I liked Mr. Kramer’s work on JSA a lot better than his recent work on Detective. Several of his JSA books looked great, but the Detective work has just been so-so. Maybe it’s the intermittent nature of the work, with so many fill-ins.
