At NYCC , the traditional DC Universe fan circus host by executive editor program Dan DiDio was master by the recession , mouthy fans , a error that made DiDio take his seat — and a peek at what ’s coming up .
The main point that DC Universe first essay to drive home was that in problematic times when other publishing company were stir their price , they had heard the vocalism of the people and were rolling the Leontyne Price of books to $ 2.99 .
This was unveiled via a gargantuan Rosie The Riveter graphic on - filmdom express that they would “ Hold the bloodline , ” and “ Keep it 2.99 . ”
After some more poke at other publishing house ’ price and crow about DC Universe ’s cost - saving reward , it was an undecided elbow room for the crowd to ask questions or make statement or random gush , as they are wo nt to do . All was sky-high fielded by DiDio ’s deadpan delivery and the panel of DC luminaries that include co - Publisher Jim Lee .
One untried man suffer to thank DC for let in more lineament that are people of semblance in their leger , especially Aquaman ( give homage by his costume ) . DiDio responded that DC ’s stories had to reflect the wide-eyed diversity of their audience .
He then led us through mentions of various serial . “ Who want to spill about Hawkman ? ” unadulterated silence . “ Martian Manhunter ? ” shriek and applause .
Through all of this , a costumed girl had been bestow up from the audience and allowed to sit with the board , and at one point claimed a microphone to animadvert : “ But is he Batman pre - Crisis again ? What is Grant Morrison recollect ? ” to hisses from the audience and a deep in thought jury .
Many more approaching title and ideas were discussed : Batgirl in college facing campus foes . What would we think of a Batman and Wonderwoman romance ? Shouted from the back : “ SELINA ! ” Hints that a kinder , blue-blooded Bruce Wayne might be coming , with amorous storylines .
Crossovers that sound bizarrely the right way , like Lex Luthor meeting Sandman ’s Death .
Superboy#1will be revolve about around a secluded history of Smallville , and he ’ll race Kid Flash . Krypto might also be a role player .
Jim Lee , follow a discussion of superpets and the like , admit , “ I detest draw animals . My dogs look like rats . My rats count like alligator . ”
A fan asked , can Geoff Johns go back on Superman ? DiDio explicate that Johns has about 6 full - time Job justly now but Flash Point is come up . And there ’ll be a Who ’s Who following that .
Zombie will be out in February , and Static Shock in April .
What do we think about the new Wonderwoman costume ? Cheers , jeers , a scrummage over the costume alteration , though some “ like that it ’s real . ” Others : “ Sucks ! ”
When the venire is ask when more GLBT characters will be represented , the reaction is that Batwoman 0 is due in November of next year .
DC Universe ’s video game has a February cargo ships day of the month and will not be available on Mac ( sunniness , scoffing ) .
Asked if Vertigo part could find themselves worked into the DC Universe in the future , DiDio was emphatic in repeating , “ NEXT QUESTION ! ”
We moved into a lightning round phase where fans could shout yes or no questions . One stood to postulate , “ Is the evil Martian in bright Day John ’s wife ? ” to which DiDio came back with “ No — ” then , “ Shit , sorry . ” He was then sent to the tabular array to take a seat , head held in mock - ignominy , while the audience went wild and the Q&A was bear on by less loquacious parties .
