Geoff Johns is juggling 3 Epic stories from DC Comics. We talk about all of them. You'll hear behind the scene details of Flash Rebirth, Green Lantern The Blackest Night, and Legion oF 3 Worlds. You'll hear character discssions of all the major players, from the reborn Flash family to the GL Corps, and previews of what's to come in Adventure Comics and Superman : Secret Origin.


Here are some quotes from the conversation.
Answering the concerns that Johns current portrayal Of Barry
Allen is so different from his silver and bronze age characterization.

“Everyone is in a very different place at the beginning of Flash Rebirth to the end, because I didn’t
want to open up with a big Flash parade, and Barry running in with a big
smile,. I might as well have started with Flash #1 and we’d be off and running,
but there were other emotional explorations with Barry Allen and the Flash
team. I wanted to go against expectations and do a 180 on everything. Flash is back,
but Barry Allen isn’t…that’s what the story is about.

The great thing about it is it allows me to explore him
emotionally... I love the discussion and debates, because I know where this
story is going …I remember when we did The Sinestro Corps Wars, and Kyle at the
end of the first issue was possessed by Parallax. People went crazy! They
couldn’t believe how we could do this (laughs) …and Ethan was saying ‘We should
tell them that he’s not going to be Parallax,.’ And I said “No! Let them get riled
up, because they should, but we know where this story ends.’ … In Flash Rebirth
Barry is searching for the same answers…this story is trying to solve a crime,
but Barry is moving much too fast to do that.”

On this edition of The Word balloon podcast, a conversatio with the
creative team on Supergirl, Sterling Gates and Jamal Igle. They discuss
Supergirl, from the recent reveal that Lucy Lane is the new Superwoman,
to the death of Zor-El, and the fallout from New Krypton. There's
plenty of chracter dissections of Lana Lang, Allura Cat Grant and Kara
Zor-El herself, and their views on where all these strong women fit, in
this corner of the DC Superverse.


Some quotes from the conversation...


On Lucy Lane/Superwoman's role as Kara's new enemy.

Gates: "I wanted a villain that can act as a Lex Luthor type...when New Krypton
was
told to me, I thought it was a master stroke on Geoff (Johns)  and
James(Robinson's) part having General Lane be the main bad guy...what
great drama you get having Lois's
family be against the Superman family?...There's some more crazy stuff coming up with Superwoman."

On the character designs for the leading women in the series..

Igle: When It comes to Supergirl the very first conversation I had with Matt
Idelson He said, 'I don't want to see Supergirl's panties again,' and I
agreed ...I think there should be a coy sexiness about her but I don't
think it should be as overt as it's been drawn...it just didn't fit my
image of what a teenaged Supergirl is supposed to be...she's Superman's
cousin, and should be, even by default, sort of a role model to young
girls..."

(For
Lana's Asian influenced outfits) My wife Corrine works in the fashion
industry for a company that does a lot of photo touch ups for Vouge,
Cosmo, Louis Viton...
so I get to see all these fashion
materials... I was thinking more in terms of something a little
eclectic but business like...with Cat, it's all Victoria Secret and
Fredrick's of Holywood...the sluttiest dresses I can find (laughs)."


Gates: "I guess that means write more Cat Grant scenes."


On The Death of Zor El

Gates: "Going in, Geoff and Ja
