May 16, 2012: Creators Talk About DC Comics "Robot Chicken" Special

Robot Chicken DC Special Newsarama.com spoke with Geoff Johns, Seth Green and Matthew Senreich about the upcoming DC Comics "Robot Chicken" Special set to air on Cartoon Network later this year.

    The special takes place during the Super Friends era of the Justice League, focusing on characters like Aquaman, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, but featuring dozens of other DC characters along the way. Much like the second Robot Chicken Star Wars Special showed "behind-the-scenes" stories of bounty hunters like Boba Fett, the DC Comics Special will show some never-before-seen moments in the lives of DC characters.

    "What we like to do in Robot Chicken is take all the things that are outrageous and fantastic, and then superimpose the mundane and the normal over them," Green said. "So you've got something as outrageous as the Legion of Doom, but nobody talks about the inter-office politicking. We like to take the things that people most relate to in their regular lives and show them how similar that is to their heroes."

Look for the 22-minute special to air on Cartoon Network some time in September/October.
