audience batman bring character exciting experience fans great history introduced rich seen truly wide
When a character has as wide an audience and as rich a history as Batman, it's truly exciting to see him introduced into an all-new storytelling medium. BATMAN LIVE will bring a completely new experience to fans of the character - it's great to be able to give them something they haven't seen before.

One of the reasons I never had a problem handing over my characters to other creators is that I knew that they would add their own influences and takes on the characters and make them better for it.
batman characters charges jumps love pairs robin showing
I like having pairs of characters to play off each other. I love drawing Batman, but he's more fun with Robin. Batman charges ahead, Robin jumps off the walls. It's fun showing that contrast.
cape character costume couple hardest simple superman
Superman is the hardest character to draw. There are a couple of things that make him difficult. He's got a very simple costume and doesn't have the long cape like Batman. He's not a character that is necessarily always in shadow, and he doesn't have a mask.

I don't remember seeing both a front-page feature and editorial on the same company in the magazine in 23 years. We were ecstatic.

Even today, a lot of the CGI you see in movies is so clean and crisp that it just looks fake. It's weird: the more advanced they get, the faker it looks.

affair city gambling level love seen strong support
We've never really seen that strong of a level of support for gambling in the Southwestern part of the state. I don't think the city will have much of a love affair with gambling.

We're trying to use it as an intervention.
coast folks joining knows local lord ordinary service tradition traveled
I'd like to see some of the things that ordinary folks have. Our local folks, with their tradition of joining the Coast Guard, and the Life-Saving Service before that, traveled all over the world. So they'll have some souvenirs from Lord knows where.

I don't buy comics anymore, for the most part. I eat my lunch off of them.
