“I keep saying [Clownhunter]’s one part Kaneda’s Gang from Akira, one part Casey Jones from TMNT, and one part Deadpool (in terms of a kind of amused detachment from reality).” — James Tynion IV

Punchline Special #1
Dec. 9th, 2020 11:00 pmcyberghostface
"This is the story of Punchline going from being another Joker Gang member to being a real celebrity and icon in Gotham City. A character who understands the power of her voice and how to wield it to build power.
This is the first step in a big new frightening conspiracy that's going to run through the background of Gotham City through 2021. The Joker may have left Gotham City, but his dangerous presence is being felt, in a huge huge way. The Joker Gang has always been a bit of a disorganized, chaotic mess (reflecting the whims of its boss)... Punchline is going to take that mess and organize it into something that is dangerous in a whole new way. We're going to see that there are people loyal to her hiding in every corner of Gotham City. The Clown Prince of Crime never really wanted to be the kingpin of Gotham, he just wanted to take down Batman… The Clown Princess on the other hand..." -- James Tynion IV

Punchline Special #1
Nov. 10th, 2020 10:00 amcyberghostface
"We wanted the character to catch. But the fact that within two days of her design being out in the world, not even her appearing, we were getting fan art and cosplay of the character... that was an incredible feeling. And continues to be an incredible feeling. There feels like there is already a growing Punchline fandom online, even though the character has only appeared in a few comics so far. That is a really phenomenal experience, and something I do not take lightly." -- James Tynion IV

Detective Comics #1000
May. 15th, 2019 10:10 pmcyberghostface
"This was a chance to give Leslie a speech I wanted to give her about violence. It doesn’t make Batman look too good and I think you have to preserve the notion of hero when you’re doing these characters. You can make them flawed, and that’s one of the big changes when I came into the industry 50 years ago and now. I don’t think I could have written that speech for her 40 years ago." -- Denny O'Neil

Batman: White Knight #1 - Special Edition
Sep. 12th, 2018 05:00 pmcyberghostface
"We know the Joker is a genius, we know he's relentless, and we know he can play the crowd, so why not make him a politician? Frank Miller modeled him after David Bowie. Chris Nolan showed him as a controlled sociopath. I see the Joker as Don Draper." -- Sean Murphy
So obviously this is an old issue with the entire series being finished and posted here months ago. That being said, DC is rereleasing the first issue for free both in stores and digitally for Batman Day to promote the upcoming trade so I am posting the first issue in its entirety.

Catwoman: Anodyne 1 of 4
Dec. 17th, 2015 07:05 pmespanolbotOne of my all time favourite comic runs is that of the Ed Brubaker/Cameron Stewart/Darwyn Cooke period on Catwoman, and I thought that I'd share some.

We Are Robin #1
Oct. 29th, 2015 06:11 pminformationgeek
"I think I’ve said this before, that the central idea of the book is: there’s one thing to want to be part of a movement; you see it on facebook and twitter all the time. “Right, rock on. #WeAreRobin.” It’s one thing to do that and feel part of something, but it’s another to actually step up and do it, to go out and help people, and to make your city a better place.
And not every one of these characters is going to have that in him or her. There’s a very interesting to me possibility, to talk about what are heroics in general. Is that just putting on a domino mask and beating up bad guys? No, it’s a broader concept than that. I think that plays well into a book with lots of different kids from lots of different backgrounds and interests and skill sets and fears. From that point of view, it’s going to run the gamut a bit broader of what the concept of a hero in Gotham City is." - Lee Bermejo
