Saturday’s DC Comics: The Gotham City Panel, moderated by Rob Levin, the Line group editor, included Matt Fraction, Scott Snyder, Nick Draggotta, Daniel Warren Johnson, Dan Jurgens and Kyle Higgins. The panel began with a trailer for the DC Highlovely Weekly Cinematic Audio Podcast adaptation for Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s Dark Viction Series set, set on Wednesday, July 30th.
Levin began with fractions about being one of the few creators to reboot the main Batman title with his playful, resourceful self. Levin asked about his personal interest in assuming Batman. Fractions say, “In the end, you can draw a straight line from today, I looked it up and looked it up in July 1979. So, yeah, it’s Gotham’s new day and I celebrated the coolest and coolest partners and coolest cities and cool cars and cool gadgets.
Fraction talks about his collaborator, Jorge Jiménez, “He’s amazing and incredibly fast.” Tim Drake is an active Robin affiliated with Batman on the run and plays a key role in the second issue of GCPD, which is currently running a troubling run by Vandal Savage. The ongoing thread will be Gotham’s Batman and Robin who cannot work with the police. Fraction used gadgets like James Bond to mention Batman, increasing the chance to see Bruce Wayne dominating in an era when Bruce Wayne couldn’t become Batman.
Next they discussed Snyder and Dragotta and the absolute Batman and their current Ark, focusing on newer versions of Bane and Arkham. Snyder said, “Under Gotham, it’s a maze. You don’t know. I wanted it to be completely alien, scary and scary because it’s fun in the series?”
Dragotta said, “Because we’re looking at this, this is a black site. This is where people disappear. So it’s black.”
In Bane, Snyder states: “Poison doesn’t just boost muscles, it boosts the mind. And he has all the fighting styles, all the military battles, all the kind of strategies that he can think about in his head. He’s like a walking war.”
The panel then pivoted for the sequel to Jurgens and Mike Perkins’ The Batman: Second Night and DC Black Label Miniseries the Batman: First Night. Jurgens, held in 1939, stated, “Bruce Wayne was only Batman for a few weeks at that point. There’s no Batcave. There’s no Batmobile. There’s no Alfred. It’s basically a story just for Blues.
Levin then relies on Higgins to Batman, the legendary legend of Elzeworld, and Batman, a story of the Batman family that softens future spaces. Higgins praised the title artist Dan Mora.
The panel concludes with his work on Johnson and the upcoming Absolute Batman annual #1. There we present a one-page story that focuses on how Bruce got his monster truck and fought against white supremacists. Dragotta and Johnson discussed how Johnson participated in the annual participants, allowing them to write while chasing visually exciting artists. Fractions ended the panel by captivating everyone with his story of learning Adobe Illustrator to create maps.
