Despite this, DC Comics were encouraged by the improved sales of the trade paperback collected editions. Gotham Central repeatedly failed to break the top 100 comics in sales. Gotham Central's debut yielded Eisner Award nominations in 2003 for Best New Series, Best Writer (Rucka), Best Writer (Brubaker), and Best Penciller/Inker (Lark). They plotted out the new series' elements and decided to script the first story arc together, then split the lengthy cast into two shifts: Rucka would write the GCPD's day shift storylines, Brubaker would take the night shift, and Lark would pencil them both. The writers wanted Michael Lark for pencils and waited nearly a year to get him onboard due to scheduling, but used the opportunity to plan out the storylines. They wanted to do a series about the police in Gotham City and finally obtained approval from DC executives. Greg Rucka and Ed Brubaker collaborated on the "Officer Down" Batman crossover.
