February 15, 2012: J.T. Krul Talks "Superman Beyond"
Newsarama.com caught up with writer J.T. Krul to ask him about writing the "Superman Beyond" ongoing series that will debut first as short digital comics released weekly before being collected in a printed collection as part of the "Batman Beyond Unlimited" monthly title. Here's a portion of the interview...
- Q: J.T., this is a comic that has digital chapters, right? That are available separately from the other "Beyond" comics?
J.T. Krul: Yeah, online, it's available in individual chapters. But when they do the print version, it will be printed with both Batman Beyond and Justice League Beyond, in the "Batman Beyond Unlimited" title.
Q: What's the overall premise?
Krul: This story is set in the future, when Superman is on his own. So this story is about Superman kind of taking stock and figuring out where he belongs in the world.
All his connections to Earth are, quite frankly, dying. It seems like in the Beyond universe, the only person he really has in his life anymore is Bruce Wayne. And we all know how friendly Bruce is. He doesn't provide that much support for anybody. So for Superman, his connection was to the world, but it was also the people, like his parents and Lois. With those people gone, he's trying to figure out, what's his connection to the planet and to humanity now?
As he's confronted with his own internal decision about where he belongs in the world, he's going to come to find out that there's still pretty big threats out there that the Man of Steel physically and mentally is the only one prepared to deal with it and do what needs to be done.
The first issue of "Batman Beyond Unlimited" will be released on February 29.
