March 11, 2011: Cullen Bunn Talks "Superman/Batman"

Superman/Batman #81 Writer Cullen Bunn spoke with ComicBookResources.com about his "Sorcerer King" story running in "Superman/Batman" starting with last month's issue #81. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    You've got a lot of other things in the pipeline, including your four issue "Superman/Batman" arc. What can you tell us about that story?

    The other day I was at a signing, trying to explain the high concept pitch [for "Superman/Batman"], and I realized I am the worst high concept pitchman ever. It's a very magic-heavy story because I like the idea that magic is Superman's other weakness. It's a story that kind of puts Superman in a world where magic is a driving force instead of the laws of nature and science. He's been thrust into a world where he has to deal with magic on a much larger scale, and Batman is trying to figure out where Superman is. Along the way, Superman meets magic versions of familiar characters. He meets the Batman of this magical world and a number of other DC characters. Back in "our world," Batman is dealing with a lot of the magic heroes like Shadowpact and some of the other characters who are magic-focused. It gave me a real chance to kind of cut loose on a lot of stuff. I just really wanted to tell a fun, old fashioned comic book story.
