The heartbreaker was that because Slayground kind of slid between the cracks, Darwyn said he wanted to get fans excited before he started work on the next installment.

Misinformed. This was something that DC was going to do regardless. Darwyn’s POV, as I recall, was that much like Batman Beyond if the project was going to happen, to do it with style, grace, heart, and respect. Both projects he was associated with, Minutemen and Silk Specter, had those by the truckload.
