In the second half of my conversation with Matt Fraction, we shift gears to talk about his ever-evolving writing process, from Batman to his Eisner-winning work on Jimmy Olsen and other standout projects from across his career.

Fraction digs into how his approach to storytelling has changed over the years, balancing structure with spontaneity, and what keeps him inspired as both a writer and a fan.

We also dive into today’s movie and TV landscape—what’s working, what isn’t, and how the comics medium continues to shape (and sometimes outshine) its Hollywood adaptations.

To wrap things up, Matt and I swap some of our favorite cult film recommendations—deep cuts and offbeat classics that deserve a spotlight. It’s a wide-ranging, candid discussion that blends comics craft, pop culture commentary, and cinephile passion.
