10. Good point. We had a question about the heroes who have come into the books where the title characters have stepped out. What happens if you find out what readers really like Batwoman in Detective, Mon-el in Superman and Flamebird and Nightwing in Action when it’s time for Bruce and Superman to come back home? Is your plan flexible enough to allow for more time, or spinoffs?

DD: That would be the best of both worlds – if we’re able to support the Batman titles or the Superman titles without Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent, then that shows the strength of the DC Universe and more importantly, the strength of the characters that are inhabiting those books. So my standpoint is that there is room for all of them, and as their stories progress, we’re going to let them flow according to their natural course, and whether or not Superman reutns sooner or later or how the changes in the Batman books play out – it all gives us hope that we have a lot of untapped potential for stories in the future with the characters that are now in them.

So, we have a long-term plan as for how this goes, but that doesn’t mean that we’re not going to be flexible as to how we play it.

NRAMA: So the return of Bruce Wayne or Superman are set in stone for a specific month or a specific issue?

DD: We have a very strong structure as to how these stories unfold, and that’s probably something that’s not too flexible, but there are a lot of aspects as to how things can progress.

Брюса вернут в 700 Бэте???


12. Is there word on a creative team for Flash post Rebirth? Obviously, it’s assumed that Geoff will be writing it...

DD: Yes it is, it is assumed. (laughs)

NRAMA: What are the chances that Ethan will join him?

DD: Right now, we’ve got Ethan and Geoff pushing pretty hard on Flash: Rebirth, and once we get a little closer, we’ll be announcing the team on the Flash monthly comic. It’s all part of a bigger announcement, because it’s not just about one Flash book.

Huh???


20. Looking back to the Battle for the Cowl teaser image that was released a while back, a reader pointed out that...

DD: That we were making it up as we went along? (laughs)


ENLARGE IMAGE NRAMA: Not exactly, but rather that not all of the images have been explained in the stories to date. Were some ideas dropped, or was the teaser larger in scope?

DD: The title of that poster was “I am Batman,” not “Battle for the Cowl.” It said it begins in Battle for the Cowl. We’re only in our first month for the direction of the Batman books, so we’re going to be seeing a lot of things that were set up in Battle for the Cowl playing out over the next few months. That was the goal – it wasn’t just to tease the three months of Cowl, but rather to se the direction for the new line of Batman books.

Опа-опа, ну, кто бы сомневался)))
