More Dan Didio 20 Q&A with Newsarama were he give us an update on the top 20 (or 25 this time around), questions from the fans.
As always I've summarised the Batman questions from the interview...
7. We have a few more questions asking about the Batgirl series – is it something that’s still out there, or is it something that will be retro-solicited after, perhaps, the conclusion of the Oracle miniseries?
DD: No – it’s not going to be retro-solicited. It will be hitting shops in August. As will Adventure Comics.
10. Any word on who will be sharing the art duties on Batman & Robin with Frank Quitely?
DD: We’ve selected our artist, and we’ll be announcing them soon. I’d prefer to have the book on the stands before announcing who the next artist will be – let’s get Frank’s work out there and give it a chance to shine before people start to worry about what’s next. But he’s currently working on another project, and will start his arc on Batman & Robin as soon as he’s done with that.
17. A question that was asked in the context of Marvel’s recent re-introduction of Spider-Man 2099 – will we ever see more of Batman Beyond in the DC Universe?
DD: We touched upon him in Countdown, I know, but as of right now, there are no plans for a series or appearances. Sorry.
NRAMA: Is there a bit of...resistance towards using that character since it was something that came from the animated side of things to DC, rather than moving from DC to the animation?
DD: You mean like the resistance to us using Harley Quinn or Live Wire or Renee Montoya? (laughs)
NRAMA: Okay, good point, my fault for forgetting her.
DD: It’s really just the issue with the time frame – Batman Beyond is a future of Batman’s world, and it’s different from what we have established in the DCU right now, and rather than do a separate series based on a different timeline, we’d rather explore what we have currently going on in the DCU. It’s just not a future for Batman that we are looking to explore right now.
NRAMA: Because even an introduction of Terry McGuiness as a character starts a clock ticking, in a sense?
DD: Yep.
23. In 2007 – an eight-part miniseries called Batman: Odyssey was announced, with art by Neal Adams and dialogue by Frank Miller...
DD: Since it was never announced by DC Comics, it’s hard for me to comment on something that’s not really official...
But something like that would be great wouldn’t it? More than that, I’d like to be someone actively participating in that if it was happening. Nothing would excite me more to be working with Neal Adams on a new Batman project. Neal Adams was probably one of the first artists to make me truly excited about Batman in the 1970s when I first encountered his artwork, and I think he’s still one of the true masters of the craft out there working today and can deliver above expectations at any time.
