John Siuntres talks with writer Brian Azzarello on this new episode of Word Balloon about his run on the new and upcoming DC Universe "First Wave" and his one shot special Batman/Doc Savage.

In this episode Azzarello hints at the follow:

"I think the pulp heroes reasons to fight crime are much darker than the superheroes were, with the exception of Doc Savage. Like The Avenger. He's a really dark character, and we're actually making him even darker...his power is disguise; his face has a lot of muscle control, he could mold his face to look like someone else."

There will be some Batman villains in the story, but as Brian says, "Not in the way you'd recognize them. It won't be too obvious who are wearing the white and black hats in the story."
