barry batman behind bit both common figure flash forensic science seeing thinks thomas trying wayne
Batman and the Flash have a whole lot in common behind the mask. They've both experienced loss, know forensic science, and are both a bit introverted. In 'Flashpoint,' Thomas Wayne thinks Barry is crazy, but Barry thinks Thomas is crazy. It'll be really fun seeing those two trying to figure things out.
dc rule syndicate wants
Every villain in the DC Universe wants something different, and not all of them want to rule the world. Or at least, not all of them want to rule the world in the way the Crime Syndicate do.
captain driven love rule villains
I love Captain Cold. I have him on my door at the office. He's grounded; he doesn't want to rule the world. He's not necessarily driven by ego, which a lot of villains are.
areas finding outer
We are finding new areas in the ocean every day. It's as alien as going to outer space.
bring chance dc epic letter love super villains worked
'Forever Evil' is my love letter to DC super villains. It's my chance to take all of the villains I've worked with and all the ones I've never worked with and put them into one gigantic, epic story that will bring together the bads of the DC Universe.
believe driven emotional explored might power sound
I really explored self-awareness and emotions through 'Green Lantern.' It might sound goofy, but I do believe that emotions have power. We're all driven by something, and most of that is emotional reaction. For me, it was about recognizing my self-awareness.
antagonist compelling dc desire evil explore mean reason relative unique villains
Evil is relative - and what I mean by that is that our villains are as complex, as deep and as compelling as any of our heroes. Every antagonist in the DC Universe has a unique darkness, desire and drive. And the reason for being of 'Forever Evil' is to explore that darkness.
online truth
The truth is, we're all cyborgs with cell phones and online identities.
good initial instilled life qualities sister taken
My sister was the inspiration for the character, the good qualities instilled in the character. The initial inspiration was there, but Stargirl has taken on a life of her own. She's her own character now.
against anyway best dc good guys heroes hopefully nasty payoff powerful smarter stories taking thats tough trying universe villains winning work
Hopefully this is the payoff of all the work everybodys been doing for where were taking the DC Universe into 2006 and beyond. Everythings story-driven. Were all trying to do the best stories we can. These villains have to be real threats. Theyve got to be as tough as the heroes are, or tougher, because that makes our heroes stronger. Theres nothing better than having a hero go up against someone more powerful and smarter than them, and winning anyway because theyre doing the right thing. Thats why I like making villains capable, powerful, and nasty because it makes our good guys look that much better.
absolutely love since
I absolutely love Aquaman, and the character has been a passion since 'Blackest Night.'
characters dc major pour shake
I didn't want to take the DC universe, put it in a box, shake the box and pour it out. I wanted to take the major characters and show what they could be like if they were put on a different path.

I'm just thrilled people are checking out POWER GIRL. She's one of the greatest heroines in the DCU alongside Wonder Woman, Oracle, Supergirl and Black Canary. The book has been a lot of fun and working with Amanda and Jimmy has been the highlight. Thanks to everyone reading the book!
finding love
I love finding balance. My favorite thing to do is action-driven, emotionally-charged scenes.
