staring
At some point if you're a professional writer, no matter what, it always comes down to you staring at the blank page by yourself.
both characters good whenever
Whenever you can manoeuvre your characters into a situation where they both have a good argument to make, you're on the right track.
certainly comic far incredibly sure
I think comic books have come an incredibly far way, and I want to make sure we don't take a step back. I certainly don't want my name on a movie that would take it back.
highly regarded respect superhero
I think 'Green Lantern' has the potential to be a very highly regarded superhero movie. We're approaching it with such respect and such care.
compelling reason
With 'The Flash' in existence, there's no real compelling reason for us to do superpowers on 'Arrow.'
characters flash hard sort
I think it's very hard to talk about these characters in a closed-ended, sort of non-sequel way, especially characters like The Flash and Green Lantern, which have such rich, long histories.
funny surprised
It's funny: I like being surprised as a reader, so it's difficult for me to spoil my own stuff.
money palmer ray roy
On 'Arrow,' we have Ray Palmer and Roy Harper, and if you call Roy 'Ray' and Ray 'Roy,' you have to put money into the jar.
prefer sell soft
I'm not much of a salesman. I prefer the soft sell and the honest approach.
arc guy jonathan plot plots sort three time
I'm not like Jonathan Hickman, who's able to sort of plot out three years of a book ahead of time. I'm much more of a guy who plots out an arc or two at a time.
hopefully life manner
The nice thing about 'Arrow' is we never say never on the show. Hopefully the show will have a nice long life, and all manner of things can potentially happen.
That's one of the perks of my job, is getting to see what the Internet does.
characters developing flash indiana introduced kinds quantum
Doc Savage, Indiana Jones, Flash Gordon... these were the kinds of characters I was thinking about as I was developing Jonas Quantum because there aren't that many brand new characters being introduced anymore.
relaxing
Every season, we spend what really should be our hiatus, and what really should be me relaxing on a beach, planning out the whole season.
