What's going on with Neil Adams's Batman project that he posted on his website?

DiDio: Well, since it's never been officially announced, I can't really say if anything's going on with it.

Nrama: Well, it's on his website!

DiDio: And if I had 80 pages in my drawer of it, right now, I still wouldn't be able to talk about it.

Barbara Gordon hasn't got the best track record for mentoring young heroines. Cassie, Misfit, and now Steph. Will there be any mention of that? Also where is Misfit?

DiDio: Misfit will be seen in the new Batgirl series down the road, if I'm not mistaken. That was one of the discussion we heard in the long-term story plans. As for Barbara's mentoring, I think that's going to be the crux of a lot of what goes on at the early stages in the Batgirl series, as Stephanie takes over the mantle of Batgirl.

Nrama: There are always several people asking about the Birds of Prey characters, but it sounds like we've got more than one showing up in Batgirl?

DiDio: Yeah. We're going to see them in different places. Black Canary is very involved with what's going on in Green Arrow/Black Canary, naturally, and she'll be involved with what's taking place in Justice League of America. Barbara Gordon is front and center inBatgirl. She's a main player in that book.

As for other characters, if there's interest in certain characters, we'll find the right place to do it. But we also want to make sure we have the people with the best sensibilities to tell the stories with those characters. And we want to make sure we put those characters in the best situations for them.

It's about not rushing and putting them in something just because everyone wants to know where they are, but making sure we have real good platform and story before we put them out there.

Are Michael Green and Mike Johnson off Superman/Batman for good? Do either of them have any future projects with DC? And what is the future of the Superman/Batmanseries? Will it continue to function out of continuity, or will it be brought into the fold now that Blackest Night is crossing over?

DiDio: We have a Blackest Night crossover taking place. And we have changed teams on the book. Right now, we're putting together other projects for those two as well, because we'd like to have them still involved in the DC Universe for sure. But our plans forSuperman/Batman are interesting. Over the next few months, you're going to seeSuperman/Batman actually reflecting major events of the past of the DC Universe. We're going to be building on other stories, other events, using these characters. So you're going to see an expansion on Superman/Batman's role in the post-"Emperor Joker's" world. So you're going to see effects of "Emperor Joker" in Superman/Batman. As well as "Our Worlds at War". There are going to be events that we're going to be filling out there.

So for folks who had fun and enjoyed these big events of the past, we're going to revisit them in the Superman/Batman book. And expand on the stories of those. And those stories will fit within continuity even more tightly now because they're written with the current DC Universe in mind.

Nrama: Do the stories take place in the past?

DiDio: They take place in the past, in the time period where those events are taking place.

Nrama: But they may tie in to what's going on currently.

DiDio: Exactly.

Be sure to check out that Neil Adams artwork it is really very cool!
