October 22, 2012: DiDio and Lee Discuss Superman in 2013

Superman At the recent New York Comic Con, DC Comics co-publishers Dan DiDio and Jim Lee spoke with ComicBookResources.com about the plans for Superman moving into 2013.

    "I think 'Superman' had a bigger change continuity-wise, tonality-wise than Batman. Batman was pretty much under control," said Lee. "But Grant did a great job. You're taking a giant ship that's been traveling in one direction for 75 years and turning it around 180 degrees. He brought a different attitude to the character. On top of it, you're selling a whole new costume and a whole new wardrobe for that costume. I think that's a very difficult thing to do. That said, I think we had a pretty good first year. The second year, we're bringing on Andy Diggle and Scott Lobdell and Scott Snyder - we're very confident about Superman."

    "That's the most fun about that. When you're writing, when you're editing, you get comfortable," said DiDio. "You know that character and we have to keep reminding ourselves how much we're changing that. So, that's a re-education for everybody, how we're trying to drive a new direction for the character."
