February 16, 2015: Greg Pak on the Identity of Superman's Joker

Batman/Superman #19 USA Today has published an interview with writer Greg Pak in which he talks about revealing the identity of Superman's "Joker" within the pages of this week's "Batman/Superman #19". Here's part of the interview...

    "This is one of the creepier scarier Superman stories I've had the pleasure of writing, and also it's a big mystery, which is also not necessarily your typical Superman story," says Pak, who also pens the good guy's solo adventures in Action Comics. "It's a great opportunity to hit some unexpected notes and see how they play out in Superman's universe."

    Pak can't answer what Superman's reaction will be to the villain's reveal without getting into spoilers, but will say that "everything that happens to Superman is tweaking his thinking in certain ways. These are new experiences and there are going to be consequences to them."

    Plus, he adds, "not everything gets put back into a neat box. Certain things can't be tied up so easily and certain locks may be broken."

    And when Superman fan base gets a full look at this insane threat, Pak hopes they'll "be surprised and deliciously freaked out," he says. "The joy of thrillers and horror stories is it gives us a safe place to indulge in the worst fears we have. It's that kind of crazy thing where we laugh the most when we go to horror moves - it's our nature."
