Joshua then proceeds to ask Tini a question about a poster that always behind her when they do Zoom calls:

Ben Abernathy asks Joshua where the idea for KNIGHT TERRORS came from:

Ben Abernathy asks Joshua Williamson how challenging was overseeing and managing the multiple creative teams, titles and editors for the KNIGHT TERRORS event:

Joshua explains why Deadman is one of the lead characters (along with Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman) in the KNIGHT TERRORS event:

The conversation moves to artist Howard Porter. He has worked with Joshua Williamson on FLASH, DEATHSTROKE and BATMAN. He drew KNIGHT TERRORS: FIRST BLOOD and KNIGHT TERRORS: NIGHT’S END. Why was Howard Porter the perfect artist to tell the “bookends” of the series?

Next up is BATMAN: KNIGHT TERRORS. Joshua Williamson is the writer with art by Guillem March.

Ben Abernathy asks Joshua about having Batman in both the main story and his own story:

The conversation now turns to SUPERMAN! Joshua Williamson is also writing KNIGHT TERRORS: SUPERMAN.

What is Superman afraid of? What nightmares does Superman have when he sleeps?

Tini Howard is up next. She is writing KNIGHT TERRORS: CATWOMAN and KNIGHT TERRORS: HARLEY QUINN.

Tini Howard is asked about the upcoming GOTHAM WAR event. She is the co-author of the event.

What is Selina Kyle afraid of?

Tini tells us what Harley Quinn is dreaming about:

Josie Campbell talks about KNIGHT TERRRORS: WONDER WOMAN.

What would Diana be afraid of?

Josie tells us about her upcoming project: AMAZONS ATTACK

Dennis Culver, writer of KNIGHT TERRORS: ZATANNA, talks about how Zatanna fits in to this story because Zatanna doesn’t fall asleep. She doesn’t succumb to power of Insomnia.

Jeremy Adams, Writer of KNIGHT TERRORS: GREEN LANTERN, had the hardest task of writing Hal Jordan, who has the ability to overcome great fear.

Ben Abernathy asks Jeremy what is Hal’s fear:

The final question that Ben Abernathy asks everyone on the panel: “What is your biggest fear?”

This concludes the DAWN OF DC: KNIGHT TERRORS panel. Everyone on the panel was very passionate about the books they are writing. I am very impressed with the quality of writing that Joshua Williamson has on his books: SUPERMAN, GREEN ARROW, KNIGHT TERRORS, KNIGHT TERRORS: SUPERMAN, and all the rest. I always enjoy his work and I hope you do too!
