October 12, 2012: Scott Snyder Talks About Writing Superman

Superman With the announcement from DC Comics that writer Scott Snyder and artist Jim Lee would be collaborating on a new Superman title to be released in 2013, the LA Times asked Snyder how it all came about. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    Snyder said that the new title wasn't handed down to him, but rather an idea he pitched to DC Co-Publisher Dan DiDio after it had been percolating for some time.

    "I told him that I've had this Superman story in mind for a while, and it's a big, kind of epic-sized story, like 'Court of Owls,'" Snyder said. "It was sort of like, this is everything I could possibly imagine wanting to explore about the character in one story if I only ever got one story: to pit him against a threat that I couldn't be more excited about, to get into aspects of his character that have fascinated me since I was a kid. So what I pitched to Dan is this big, singular, epic story that will pit Superman against challenges. It will really rock him and Metropolis to the core, and at the same time be a pretty intimate exploration of the character and all of the things that I love about the character."
