Editing Gotham Central (section)

===End of the series===
Despite the sales, writer [[Greg Rucka]] assured that DC would have continued publishing ''Gotham Central'' as long as he wanted to write it and that it was his decision to conclude the series. Rucka felt that the book was a co-creation between himself, Lark and Brubaker and when they left, with issue #25 and #37 respectively, it was time to move on. The year-long break provided by the ''Infinite Crisis'' event provided an opportune place to close out the main storylines.<ref>[http://www.newsarama.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=49462 Greg Rucka on the end of ''Gotham Central'']{{dead link|date=March 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes}}, [[Newsarama]], November 15, 2005</ref> At one point, Rucka was in talks to replace ''Gotham Central'' with a new series called ''Streets of Gotham'', which would focus on Renee Montoya as a private investigator. Those plans were scrapped in favor of making Montoya a major character in the weekly series ''[[52 (comics)|52]]'', with Rucka as a co-writer. In 2009, DC released an unrelated series called ''[[Batman: Streets of Gotham]]'' that has been described as a mixture of ''Gotham Central'' and another canceled Batman series, ''[[Batman: Gotham Knights]]''.
