That maybe so. But the podcast interviewing people involved in the universe is really good.morriss wrote:
Kevin Smith needs to be kept away from comics. He can't write them for shit.
The Kevin Smith 'Fatman on Batman' podcast is well worth a listen, if you haven't already. I'd start at Ep 1 where he interviews Paul Dini. Then in 2 & 3 it's Mark Hammill. There's a Bruce Timm episode and a Walter Flanaghan one (which is awesome).
You have to suffer him trying to sell you stuff for a few mins at the start then it's about 1-1.5 hours worth of Batman chat.
Good shit. -

Registered 9 years agoAlan Moore doesn't want someone like me buying any of his stuff, ever again:
If people do want to go out and buy these Watchmen prequels, they would be doing me an enormous favor if they would just stop buying my other books. When I think of my audience, I like to have good thoughts and think about how lucky I am to have one that is as intelligent as mine and as moral as mine.
Edited by morriss at 18:24:37 25-07-2012
So, I wouldn't want to think that my readership were the kind of comic fans who are just addicted to a regular fix of their favorite character and, "Yeah well Jack Kirby he's not as good as he used to be, is he?" And, "Who cares that he created almost everything that Marvel have built their line upon?" And note, Jack Kirby, I'm saying, created them. I'm not even saying "Lee and Kirby." From my perspective, it looks like Jack did most of the work.
The kind of readers who are prepared to turn a blind eye when the people who create their favorite reading material, their favorite characters, are marginalized or put to the wall--that's not the kind of readers I want. So, even if it means a huge drop in sales upon my other work, I would prefer it that way. I mean, there's no way I can police this, of course. But, I would hope that you wouldn't want to buy a book knowing that its author actually had complete contempt for you. So, I'm hoping that will be enough. -

Registered 8 years agoI didn't think it was possible for Alan Moore to disappear even further up his own arsehole.
Talented bloke for sure, but it's hard to take the plea of "don't buy my books if you're a comics mong" seriously when he's already sat on a big stack of money and the result isn't going to affect him. -

I'm not sure if any of them are considered canon though, especially given DC's penchant for endlessly rebooting their continuity.Now with 80% more Cthulhu!

Gordon is my favourite thing about Year One. -
Brian Cranston does the voice of Gordon I think. Keep meaning to watch it.
Just started Batman on the New 52, really good so far! Big fan of Scott Snyder. -
