"Cameron Stewart has spoken about his surprise withdrawal from Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne. The artist was due to illustrate issue #4 of Grant Morrison&amp;#039;s six-part series. It was announced earlier this week that he was to be replaced by Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight&amp;#039;s Georges Jeanty on the Wild West-themed issue. &amp;quot;Unfortunately, several weeks back I was forced to make the difficult decision to leave the book,&amp;quot; wrote Stewart on his blog. &amp;quot;It was a decision that I struggled with, but sadly conditions were such that I felt that my work would be drastically compromised and subpar should I stay on board, and so I felt that it was best that I walked away. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d like to extend big thanks to my editors for trying to do whatever they could to make it possible for me to stay, but in the end it just wasn&amp;#039;t happening. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not going to answer any questions about the specifics of this, as I don&amp;#039;t feel the details are interesting or relevant to anyone who isn&amp;#039;t directly involved with the production. &amp;quot;Suffice to say that the parting was amicable, and all is well. I&amp;#039;m of course very disappointed not to do it but these things happen.&amp;quot; He went on to reveal that he is working with Karl Kerschl on a comic based on &amp;quot;an immensely popular property&amp;quot;.
