December 8, 2009: Sterling Gates Talks "World's Finest" and "Supergirl"
ComicBookResources.com spoke with writer Sterling Gates and asked him about his stories in the "World's Finest" miniseries and the on-going "Supergirl" title. Here's a bit of what he had to say...
- CBR News: Sterling, in "World's Finest," you're in charge of re-uniting the Superman/Batman Universes in a big way. How excited were you to bring these two families back together?
Sterling Gates: It's a fantastic feeling! I love seeing those two families work together. I mean, they're two of the biggest "mini-universes" within the DCU, joining forces to stop common enemies.
I want to see that in a big way, and I want to see what these characters are like when you throw them together. I was interested in doing team-ups we've never really seen before - which is why you got Guardian and Robin, and the new Nightwing and Red Robin - and then diving back into classic team-ups like Supergirl and Batgirl, and Superman and Batman.
