With all the news annoucements come out today regarding Brightest Day, I though maybe some the Batman stuff would be over looked. We'll CBR have conducted an interview with writer Geoff Johns, with some talk about his up coming project Batman: Earth One
CBR: Why did it take so long to land yourself on a Batman project? Have you been waiting for just the right time or was it this particular project that inspired you?
GJ: It's just the way it fell. I tend to stay on books a long time, so I don't get a chance to jump from character to character.
CBR: Have you been waiting to take a crack at Bruce Wayne for a while?
GJ: Yes and this was the perfect opportunity, the perfect project.
CBR: And the perfect partner in Gary Frank?
GJ: Again, if you look at the books I do, I tend to work with the same artists, like Scott Kolins, Ethan Van Sciver, Ivan Reis and now Gary Frank, Doug Mahnke and Francis Manapul. When I find a creative collaborator that I really connect with on multiple levels, I really value that relationship. It's not easy to find those people that creatively, you just click with. Gary Frank is one of the best artists in the business, and I think everybody knows that. And to work with him on something like this, where again, we can re-create everything from the ground up and tell a Batman story that is just slightly different or very different than anything that's happened before – it's really a story about a guy who is trying to overcome loss at the center of it all – and build these fantastic villains, and create a troubled supporting cast, and see heroes rise and villains rise in this multi-part story, when you work on something this big and you commit to it for this long, you've got to do it with the right people. Because I tend to work on projects that tend to be long-term, I look for the best creative partners I can have. And Gary is definitely one of them.
CBR: Kris Krause feels there's one character, his favorite actually, in the DCU who is in desperate need of a retooled origin that gels better with Batman's world and that's Dick Grayson. He's hoping this will happen under your watchful eye in "Batman: Earth One." Realizing it's early in the process, he wanted to know if somewhere down the line, you plan on working Dick Grayson into the story?
GJ: I don't want to share any details yet, but I will say that obviously we will be talking about Dick Grayson along with many other favorite Batman supporting characters.
