February 23, 2013: Greg Pak Talks "Batman/Superman" Comic

Superman Newsarama.com caught up with writer Greg Pak to get the lowdown on what he has planned for the upcoming "Batman/Superman" comic book series. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    Q: Greg, let's start at the beginning, DC tells us the series will deal with the first time Superman and Batman met in the New 52 universe. So can readers assume they in fact met and have/had a history together prior to the events of Justice League #1?

    Greg Pak: Yes! You may think you've seen it all, but this is their true first meeting, at a critical early stage in their lives and careers.

    Q: For loyal or hardcore (your choice) DC readers, the timeline of the New 52 is important. Using the Justice League #1 was "5 years ago" premise, can you tell readers approximately when the start of the series takes place, in relation to both the current day New 52-DCU and the Justice League first story arc period.

    And how about Grant Morrison's first Action Comics arc as well?

    Pak: The huge attraction of this story to me is the chance to explore who these characters are in their very early, raw years. So this story begins around the time of Morrison's Action #1, when both of these men are young and wild and dangerous. Anything can happen. They've never even heard of each other before - never even heard the word "superhero."

    So how will Clark react the first time he sees an insanely dangerous combatant dressed like a giant bat? And how will Bruce react at the sight of an alien with the power to bend steel in his bare hands? It's a hugely fun place to dive in with these characters.
