TWENTY PERCENT COOLER

Q
How awesome is the Neon-talking Super-Street Bat Luge? The fact that it hasn't crossed-over into comics like Harley Quinn and Renee Montoya is criminal.

After seeing the new version of Harley Quinn, do you really want to see what would’ve happened to the NTSSBL?

Q
Okay, flipside: absolute balls-worst thing Peter Parker has ever fought crime in.
A

The armor costume is pretty awful, and the one that Iron Man made that had three extra arms for some reason. That’s what Spiders have, right? Seven limbs? Let’s go with seven.

Q
Is the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon good? And is it weird that the one character who is like, the ultimate (hyuk) loner is working with a government sponsored team?

Q
What's up with Angela?

Q
What are your opinions on Agents of SHIELD? Personally I think it could be good, but the concept is probably the last thing I would have actually asked for from a Marvel TV series.

Q
DC hires you to write a Red Tornado solo series. They are giving you total freedom to write this character however you want. What would you do with him/how would you make him cool.

Make it a team-up book, have Batman in the first issue, kill Red Tornado on page 1, and then it’s just Brave and the Bold from then on.

Q
Speaking of Arkham City, how dumb was it that Hugo Strange knew who batman was but never used it against him, even when he was going after him up that tower?

Look, if we’re going to be talking about plot points in Arkham City that were jaw-droppingly dumb, we’ll be here all night.

(remember how the terminally poisoned Batman walked right past a Lazarus pit multiple times?)

Q
I asked you this a while back but it may have gotten lost in the shuffle or you may have backburnered it because I didn't specifically request an answer, but : Have you written an article/gone into detail about your thoughts on Batman: The Brave and the Bold? If you have, I'd be very interested in seeing said article. I've only seen about 8 episodes so far, but I'm pretty sure it's the best Batman. Ever.
A

I haven’t. It’s good! I really like it! It’s the only time Aquaman has ever been good in like seventy years, and the rest of DC Entertainment could certainly take a lesson from it in how to not be ashamed of your silly past, because that silly past is actually totally awesome.

Red Tornado still sucks on it, though.

Q
How do you feel about Emma Frost as Silencer?

Q
What are your feelings on the seemingly increasing proliferation of real world "super-heroes?" Encouraging to see people interested in helping others under anonymity or an excuse to showboat and be silly?
