The Invincibly Super Massive Comic Book Podcast of Stuff: Episode 04
Taking the place of the "Ask, and Ye Shall Receive...Answers" video series, Tony answers your questions in a different format. This week Scott Snyder is on to talk about Batman, Death of the Family, Superman along with questions from the community.
Wow! I'm so excited for Snyder's upcoming Riddler story. He's a tragically underused character. It's odd Nightwing has never had much of a rogues gallery. That's one thing I'll miss most about pre-new 52 Tim Drake. He actually had his own villains and supporting cast.
I'm really looking forward to read Snyder's take on Superman. Unfortunately there hasn't been a good supes story lately, so I'm quite excited to read his work with Jim Lee. :)
I like the new Mr. Freeze. I always felt that Batman should have been helping the old Mr. Freeze when his wife was dieing. Now I don't feel bad when Batman kick his butt.
Mr.Snyder seems like an awesome person, his inspiration behind "Death of the Family" is so true. Creepy, but always nice to know when someone else has thought about something you have. I love everything that I have read by him.
Man, I just love Scott Snyder. He just really gets these characters. Well, at least Superman and Batman. I can't wait for his Superman series. I need a good Superman story. And he's absolutely right. The best villains are the ones who not only challenge the hero physically, but also psychologically. I mean, why is Lex Luthor considered such a great villain? Because he's been able to challenge Superman not only in a physical, life-threatening way, but also has made Clark doubt himself. And I loved how when Scott listed off some of his favorite Superman stories, most of them were mine as well, especially 'What's so Funny About Truth, Justice, and the American Way'. I freaking LOVE that story! Mostly because the villains introduced in that issue were able to hit Superman where it hurts...his ideals. They weren't just incredibly powerful, they made Superman just doubt the entire way he went about doing things.
I really like this format of podcast, but I am honestly only really interested in the first part where you talk to creators. I like when you go over the questions with the creators though.
