March 6, 2011: Connection Between DC Comics and Superman Movie

Superman Movie News The DC Nation panel at the Emerald City Comicon this weekend saw a question posed to the panel regarding how close the costume designs for the new Superman movie and up-coming Wonder Woman TV show were to those seen in the comic books. The question was fielded by DC's Editor-in-Chief Bob Harras who sought help from Superman comic book editor Matt Idelson.

    "I haven't seen anything on 'Superman,'" Harras replied. "I've seen some sketches for the Wonder Woman costume and I will say this today - there is every intent to make them similar. People do these TV shows and these movies because they love the characters. And with DC being able to work much more closely with Warner Bros, I think you'll be happy with what comes across."

    This led to another fan asking about the level of involvement DC Comics had with the Superman movie. He cited the fact that Geoff Johns and David Goyer had worked together in the past, and since Goyer is writing the Superman script, the attendee was hoping there was some kind of coordination between the comic and film iterations.

    Harras looked to Idelson with a smile and said, "Matt actually spoke with David Goyer this week. He cannot tell you anything."

    Idelson, however, did say that "there's definitely a connection." He also assured everyone there that "Geoff and David talk all the time, so there is interaction."
