GKO: MADHOUSE
Here you will find our rambalings on all area's of Batman, interviews and speical features!
Newarama has got a interview with Neal Adams talking about Batman: Odyssey:
Newsarama: Neal, my teenage daughter is reading Homer’s The Odyssey right now, and if this comic is anything like that, it's going to be quite the journey for Batman.
Neal Adams: It is something like that. You know, everybody's "odyssey" is a little bit different. Batman's is his own and unique to him. But this is my own humble little offering to the Batman mythos.
Nrama: You've been talking about this story for a while. Have you had this "odyssey" in mind for Batman for a while?
Adams: Well, what I discovered is that I've been collecting these little bits and pieces of this story for a long time without ever thinking about it. I wasn't necessarily thinking about the opportunity to write any of them into a story, but I had just been wondering about why people don't do certain things they ought to do with the character.
So when the opportunity came for me to do this, I scrambled through the unconscious of my brain for all those bits and pieces I've been collecting through the years, and I jumbled them into this story that I think has some things in there that you just don't normally think of.
Nrama: What do you mean by "things they ought to do with the character?"
Adams: Well, I mean things that are there, but things you don't really think about. It's like Sherlock Holmes. I listen to the old Sherlock Holmes radio shows on the internet, and what happens is some guy walks into his office, and Sherlock Holmes says, "You're a doctor and you work in a hospital and you're recently divorced, and you have a dog that is near the end of its life." And the guy says, "My God! It's like you crawled into my head! How do you know these things?" Then Holmes explains it all, pointing out the marks on his cane or something on his clothing, and now the guy says, "Oh, OK. I thought you were doing something special, but instead it makes all the sense in the world. It was here all along."
So it's like that when I mention these things about Batman to people, and they say, "Oh, yeah. That's true. I never really thought about that."
