 Post subject: 20 questions with Dan Didio |
 |
|
Oh, balls. Edited with original source for less copypasta. Link here.
Some highlights:
1. To kick things off Dan, one of the big announcements coming from DC was the new Batman-related titles that are coming in June. Can you go into any more detail about them than you did at the con, more particularly about the characters that will be appearing in them, their tone, and what niches they’ll fill?
Dan DiDio: Sure- how about we talk about some of the characters? What you’re going to see in Gotham City Sirens is Catwoman, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, and some other guest stars along the way, but those will be the three leads in that book, and it picks up directly from the ‘Faces of Evil’ conversation with Hush.
In Streets of Gotham, you’re going to get a chance to see the supporting cast of Batman’s world, meaning that you’re going to see Batgirl and Huntress and also the new DA of Gotham City, Miss Kate Spencer.
Naturally, I’m going to be a little more cagey about Red Robin, Batman and Robin and Batman, primarily because who lands in which book will be determined by who wins the Battle for the Cowl, but obviously, Batwoman, Kate Kane is front and center when that book hits the stands in June.
...
4. When will we learn the fate of Hawkman and Hawkgirl?
DD: Actually Hawkman and Hawkgirl are recuperating right now from the events of Final Crisis, and they’ll be seen in one or two spots coming up, but they also have a big role in the first part of Blackest Night.
...
6. Speaking of Blackest Night – there are some readers who are seeing it as having the potential for being a “reset” button for a lot of characters within the DCU, perhaps moving things back to a previous set point in regards to who’s alive and who’s dead. Is there anything you say about the limits of Blackest Night? This is not just a wholesale “everybody up!” is it?
DD: No – not at all. The key concept behind Blackest Night is: the dead shall rise. You’ll see the birth of the Black Lantern Corps because of that. The idea that we’re repopulating the world with characters that have died is getting pretty far ahead of the story, because how the characters return, what their goals are and what happens to them is central to everything that happens within the miniseries. I don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves – and also, I said it earlier: the dead shall rise. You’re going to have to anticipate that these characters will not be seen in the same light, or act in the same manner that they did before their deaths.
And also – there are a finite number of rings out there, so the characters that do rise have a very specific purpose for being chosen, a very specific purpose, and a very specific goal. And that goal ain’t a good one. It’s not called Blackest Night for nothing.
...
9. You’ve said that there are plans for the Marvel Family, Billy and Mary specifically. Any more details that you can give about those?
DD: JSA #25 brings some closure to the story of evil Mary Marvel and Billy Batson being off of the Rock of Eternity.
...
19. What’s the current status of All Star Batman and Robin?
DD: On hiatus.

Goddamn Batman versus all star Green Lantern was mind-blowing. Let there be all star Flash.

Flash hasn't called himself "the careless whisper" yet (has he?), but if he does, I would be more than happy to see him do.

All-Star Batman: "He probably doesn't even know that he can run in time. Or go through walls yet."
This is what I would expect to see. Though I'm not really expecting AS Batman VS AS Flash.

Actually, I was referencing "The careless whisper Flash" from the kind-hearted Something Awful goons.

Oh joy.
"He probably doesn't know that he can stick anything to any part of his body or that he has a sense that tingles at the base of his skull to warn him of impending danger yet."
"He probably doesn't know that he can mind-control whales or give human beings headaches yet."
"He probably doesn't know that he can regenerate from his adamantium skeleton or that he'll be simultaneously snikting lots of bubs on six different teams per month yet."
"He probably doesn't know that he was originally a sidekick and that he'll take the mantle of his mentor and, instead of throwing his shield to incapacitate the enemy, will cheat and intentionally miss so that the enemy will get distracted so he can shoot them dead yet."
"He probably doesn't know that he's going to lose his right arm in addition to the eye he's already lost and that he's actually Samuel L. Jackson yet."
"He probably doesn't know that it was done 35 minutes ago yet."
"He probably doesn't know that the world will look up and shout 'Save us' and he'll whisper 'No' yet."
The possibilities are endless |

You missed one in all those, Mikko:
"They probably don't know they come from another fictional universe."
The question is,
Is Batman this awesome?
And with this up, moar Awesome "Batman is so much smarter than you" statements plx.

Dan Didio sounds like a careless whisper tool.
I cannot say it enough.
