In an interview with MTV, Mikey dishes out some more info on his comic. The story is based off The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and will star Batman and Scarecrow with art by Mateus Santoluoco. With his own industry connections independent of Gerard (Jim Lee, as well as his own friends and fellow comic geeks). Mikey said:

“The story follows the Scarecrow as Ichabod Crane and Batman as the Headless Horseman. I took the character of Jonathan Crane and put him in Tarrytown, New York, in the 1700s,” Way explained. “They gave me the option to write a story about any character in the DC Universe, and I was like, ‘Well, I’m gonna do Batman. I’ve got to do Batman.’ Then I had the idea for my story, and it seemed pretty straightforward, and I was sure someone else had done it already. So I had to go to all my friends — my council — and to Jim Lee, and be like, ‘Has anyone done a Batman story like this before?’ And we were all amazed that no one has.

“Then I just got down to writing it,” he continued, “and it turned out that there wasn’t that much pressure, because the whole book is artists and writers doing Halloween-based storylines. I ended up with something like 20 pages of dialogue, so the big problem was that I just had too much, and we had to cut some of it.”

guess it's gonna be interesting..

kinda like the sample picture...
