May 25, 2011: Joshua Hale Fialkov Puts the Crime in "Superman/Batman"

Superman/Batman #86 Superman/Batman #85 ComicBookResource.com interviewed writer Joshua Hale Fialkov and asked him all about his three-issue run on "Superman/Batman", which takes us back to the early years of the World's Finest duo. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    CBR News: What can you tell us about your upcoming three-issue story arc in "Superman/Batman?" I understand that your story brings Superman into Gotham City to solve a murder?

    Joshua Hale Fialkov: I think fans of my independent comics will be pleasantly surprised. The Batman and Superman that really reverberate with me are the golden age pulp versions of the characters, and I tried my best to steer the story in that way. Rather than having Superman come to Gotham, instead I have Clark Kent, Reporter come to Gotham, and he finds himself immediately having to make decisions that Superman would never have to, especially involving his new "friend" Batman, who he admires and doesn't quite understand at the same time. So, you throw in a murder that very clearly points to the Dark Knight, and Clark is just about swallowed up by the gray that is Gotham and Batman.

Read the entire interview at the CBR website, and check out Fialkov's first issue of "Superman/Batman" (issue #85) when it's released to comic book stores on June 8.
