February 27, 2013: Greg Pak Explains "Batman/Superman" Comic

Superman ComicsAlliance.com has also conducted an interview with writer Greg Pak, in which he discusses more of his plans for the upcoming "Batman/Superman" monthly comic book. Here's part of the interview...

    CA: So what does define your take on their relationship? Those are two characters that obviously have had tons of different interpretations individually, let alone as a team. Does writing them as a team change the way you look at them? Is this a different Batman and a different Superman than you'd write individually?

    GP: I think I'm probably focusing on specific aspects of their characters because I'm writing them together. Since I'm writing both of them, like I said, I'm thinking of things that are similar. In the New 52 in particular, I'm really excited about working with these characters in this context, particularly with the time frame that we're opening the story in.

    Our first story arc is telling the story of the first time these guys meet, which we are placing around Morrison's Action #1. It's a story you haven't seen before. You think you might've seen the first meeting, but all will be revealed very soon!

    CA: So Justice League #1 was not their first meeting?

    GP: No sir. It will all make sense in the end. I know it doesn't sound like it now, but it will all make sense. There's a meeting that happens much earlier, and it's a fantastic time to tell that kind of story, because these two guys are raw and young and rash and idealistic and passionate and, frankly, dangerous. They're also both in their own world doing their own thing, each independently coming up with this idea of basically becoming a superhero. Nobody's even uttered that word before, and yet they're coming up with this notion separately. They have no idea that anyone else is doing this, and they're going to see each other for the first time and maybe have a very different reaction than you might expect.
