October 31, 2009: An Interview with Paul Levitz About Writing Comics

ComicBookResources.com caught up with Paul Levitz to talk to him about the transition from DC Comics President and Publisher to DC Comics writer. Here's a portion of the interview where he discusses the up-coming "Superman/Batman" annual he's writing...

    Can you tease any details about the story you're telling in the annual?

    It's hard to give much away with it being just one issue, but it picks up on the meeting of Batman Beyond and Superman in the old "Batman Beyond" show. It's that continuity. And I think I counted about seven or eight elements of DC Universe mythology that I somehow managed to get in for a panel or more, somewhere throughout the process, as much to amuse me more than anything else. But hopefully that amuses the readers, as well.

    It's always tricky with "Superman/Batman," but is this story set in current DCU continuity?

    I don't know. I understand in some theory, "Batman Beyond" takes place on Earth 82 at this point. It fits very squarely into the "Batman Beyond" TV show continuity to the extent that has a logical place in the DC Universe. It fits there, OK?
