Right here we go, the ultimate batch of solutions to the questions you guys and gals requested Scott Lobdell. A couple of weeks in the past, the author of Superboy, Red Hood and the Outlaws and Teen Titans requested for questions from the Comedian Vine Group. He did not understand how shortly you guys would bounce on the likelihood to get your questions answered.

That is the ultimate batch. Everybody’s questions ought to have been answered with this group. Scott has agreed to do that once more however we’ll give him a relaxation and maybe set a stronger restrict on the quantity.

For solutions to different questions, the primary spherical was right here and the second group right here.

Can we count on as powerful a Jason Todd as we have seen since his resurrection? I imply is he actually turning over a brand new leaf, or is he nonetheless going to resort to among the similar techniques as he is been used to previously?

I assume that might rely in your definition of powerful. Actually he’s as able to being as powerful as he must be, he’s Jason. However will we be seeing him slicing off heads and stuffing them into duffel luggage simply to make a degree? Mmmno.

hehey

Will Tim Drake be utilizing his signature Bo Workers anytime quickly, i’ve not seen it in any of the promo artwork, and hes used a Bo Workers as his weapon of alternative for many of his historical past, its bizarre seeing him with out it.

He’ll in all probability use it as he wants it, I am positive it’s in all probability collapsed someplace in a type of myriad pouches he wears! LOL! However as far as I’ve seen within the first few points, Tim is such a talented hand handy combatant (and he is bought these razor sharp wings on him) he hasn’t used it but. However I do not sww why he would not use it sooner or later.

superkid1995

How does your model of Jason Todd differ from Judd Winick’s and Grant Morrison’s model of the character?

I do not see Jason as obsessed as he’s with the previous, with Gotham, with placing out hearth with hearth the best way he has in his combat towards crime. I feel they had been all nice tales, however we’re transferring previous that the identical approach most individuals do with their lives as they develop and alter by means of experiences.

Will there be different ‘Outlaws’ afterward within the guide in addition to the primary three?

Si! See earlier solutions for extra particulars.

What are you able to inform us concerning the ‘charcoal lady’ from the Teen Titans ?

Nothing. She am a shock! (Okay, I’ll let you know she hasn’t at all times regarded like that.)

Will the brand new model of Superboy be a whole re-imagining of the character or will some a part of his historical past from the previous 20 years akin to the primary Superboy collection, Lemire’s Superboy, Savid’s Young Justice and Geoff John’s Journey Comics be intact?

Alas, the aim was to at all times maintain most of that included. However with all of the adjustments to Superman lots of it now not held. So on the final second I used to be requested to mirror these adjustments within the Superboy title — which is why for some followers who had been paying shut consideration to all my interviews had been stunned by the occasions of a model new Superboy in concern one.

Do you might have a specific favourite run from any of the previous Teen Titans and Superboy books?

No, I discovered enjoyable issues in most all of the runs!

How will you describe Superboy’s angle and persona evaluate to his completely different one’s from the previous ?

I feel he’s extra intellectually curious than he was previously. He is extra about residing and studying within the second than questioning about his previous or who his cell clumps had been primarily based on.

What does mission N.O.W.H.E.R.E. stand for?

Ha ha! You’re the FIRST individual to ask that! Critically! However it’s a thriller, sorry.

And why are they kidnapping teenage heroes solely?

As a result of they’ve written off the “first era” of hereos like Batman and Superman et al… they imagine if they will management these children they will management the way forward for meta-humans.

Does Cassie now have a ‘Captain Marvel’ kind of transformation primarily based on the previews?

Nope. She is at all times Cassie and at all times tremendous powered whether or not the bracelets are seen or not. There is no such thing as a “transformation.”

Will Superman and Superboy confront one another afterward?

I might think about so, no?

p.s thanks very a lot for those who do reply my questions. Sorry if it is thought-about to be too many query I am the sort to ask plenty of query since I’m nonetheless an adolescent ; )

That is okay. You remind me of myself once I was youthful.

haydenclaireheroes

Will the brand new Teen Titans collection character’s personalities be slightly like their personalities within the Teen Titan collection earlier than the Dc Reboot or will or not it’s like a very completely different character?

Whereas there will likely be some adjustments, I feel they’re fairly near what they had been.

DarkShadows

trogdor74

My query is, do you might have any deliberate lengths in your run on any of your 3 ongoings? I ask as a result of it looks as if it might change into tasking engaged on 3 ongoing a month with no dealys allowed and no finish in sight! I might relatively you stick on all 3 for good however that does not appear very reasonable.

Are you kidding?! I used to jot down Uncanny, X-Males and Era X month-to-month… in addition to handfuls of mini’s and one-shots as they got here up! These comedian writing children lately!

However, critically, for now I see myself on all three for so long as they may have me. Between Brett, Kenneth and RB I’ve three superb artists who at all times ensure I am not late! (However thanks in your concern for my well being!)

Um.

Batcrow

Are the brand new redesigns additionally going for use for Young Justice?

No approach!

What function will Wonder Girl have within the Teen Titans guide, and the way vital is it?

I type of see her as Spock to Tim’s Captain Kirk. They’re the primary two Teen Titans and in a approach that may make them the closest even when they do not at all times agree on every thing. She is essentially the most bodily highly effective member of the staff and so she will get lots of respect from everybody.

speedstermike

When will we see Bart new go well with?

I feel round concern seven or eight.

justafan

Will you be creating new characters in addition to villains? or will you recycle pre present ones?

Requested and answered.

What’s your favourite a part of a personality?

How they work together with different characters — and I really like when characters we love aside do not at all times see eye to eye when they’re collectively and we type of have to decide on a facet.

Will any future characters have inconvenient powers or powers with pre-existing situations?

Sure, Charcoal Girl particularly doesn’t have a straightforward time of it. We’ll perceive why in concern two!

Will you ever write a collection with an ending? (i imply like Y: the Final Man, DMZ, and many others)

In a baby’s energy to grasp the multiplication desk, there’s extra sanctity than in all of your shouted “amens” and “holy holies” and “hosannas.” An thought is a larger monument than a cathedral. And the advance of man’s data is a larger miracle than all of the sticks turned to snakes or the parting of the waters.’

Michiel76

Hello Scott,

I am a very long time comedian fan however have by no means learn a guide performed by DC,

I do know who Superman and Batman are however solely from the films, I’ve by no means learn (and generally heard) something concerning the characters you’re writing.

May you inform me in your individual phrases why I ought to decide up these comics?

Ha ha! That’s lots of stress to placed on me! However, critically, apart from be variety to your neighbors and to floss commonly, I would not be snug telling you to do something, not to mention the place to spend your hard-earned cash! Do the analysis on the books, take a look at the previews and the opinions, after which make your individual resolution — you’ll really feel higher than for those who take my recommendation!

Thanks for doing one thing like this and answering our questions.

You are welcome! It has been enjoyable!

Regards,

Michiel76

protoalex1

Will Superboy ever get a father or mom determine? (The Kents are lifeless 🙁 )

That’s an fascinating query. I have never actually considered it. Whereas having a mom and father figures is vital, there are various individuals on the planet who’ve had just one or the opposite, others in no way. Hmmm. I’ll take into consideration that.

Will the Teen Titans ever get an superior HQ after N.O.W.H.E.R.E. is completed with them?

Unlikely.

Will the Suicide Squad ever work together with the Teen Titans?

In the event that they did I might hope the Teen Titans kick their butts and throw them again into jail! However that is me!

Is Superboy gonna be a teenage douche or a fairly good man with a mood? 🙂

Um, neither? Critically, these are my two decisions?! LOL!

Will Superboy get an superior rogues gallery?!

Si! And at the very least one green-hued one from his current previous publication!

Storybook9

I wish to know your ideas on American comics vs. manga and their influences on their readers and on one another, and the trail you prefer to comics to be taking within the close to future, in addition to, in the event that they differ, the trail you suppose comics will probably be taking in years to come back.

I’m sorry that I do know so little or no about manga comics that I am unable to reply your query. I’ll say that I feel the way forward for comics is in good tales we need to learn time and again!

Massagingmytemples

Hello Scott!

Wow! You are alive! I began studying comics within the 90’s when X-men The Animated Collection was on the air and also you had been writing the X-titles. I really like your work and marvel if Marvel requested you to come back again and write X-men, would you? X-men might actually use your expertise once more.

Sure, I reside! I LIVE! LOL! Thanks for loving my previous work, I hope you might have as a lot enjoyable studying the Teen TItans as I’ve had engaged on them! I’ve to say that asking me if I might come again to the X-Males if Marvel requested is type of like asking me if I might fly to the Moon if I a found tomorrow that I had grown a pair of wings on my butt — neither one goes to be occurring in my future so it would not make sense to spend any time desirous about it! As Stan Lee himself used to say, “Face Entrance Effendi!” (And, proper?! LOL!)

DarkChris

Hey Scott,

I am a fan of yours and Ilias Kyriazis. Are you able to inform us something concerning the convention- associated story you write?

A Greek fan

Simply that it’s late! Late! LATE!

Gonshyk

Which nature could be Bart? He will likely be severe and somber like in “Quickest man alive” or extra like younger himself in Young Justice ’90?

I do not discover him to be a severe or sober individual.

Enzeru

Will “Red Hood and the Outlaws” introduce new characters, or will their allies / enemies be already present characters?

New. (See earlier solutions for extra element!)

Loopy Pan

Rose’s different eye again……….why? >:(

Why not? I might suppose as somebody who wears glasses you may be slightly extra delicate to the portrayal of a personality who reduce out her personal eye in a drug-induced frenzy introduced on the evil machinations of her father/brother. (Admittedly I may be biased as I’m not a fan of self-mutilation.)

cluelessnu

What are your ideas on the faux article that went round proclaiming that the comedian could be exploring the thought of Tim Drake as an asexual and Superboy as a bisexual?

http://cluelessnu.tumblr.com/put up/8910205891/dieuxfaux-blindflower-missveryvery-scott

Really one of many more strange articles I’ve examine me! LOL! Sorry, and I do not imply to be impolite, however I asexuality is not something I spend any time considering. And this text did nothing to immediate me to start out desirous about it.

Hemen

First 1. Will Superboy have new powers in Teen Titans?

Attention-grabbing query. I might in all probability say “Not new. However… tweaked.”

2. Are you aware if Perez’s Superman can raise planets or not? (silver age powers)

I have no idea.

3. Will Wonder Girl and Superboy get collectively once more within the new teen titans collection?

I feel that’s in all probability one of many pairings nicely see over the primary yr. Certainly one of.

Herx

1) Will occasions which have taken place within the Red Robin collection nonetheless be cannon to Tim Drakes character?

Some.

2) Similar query (type of) however about Starfire and R.E.B.E.L.S collection ?

Some. However not as a lot.

3) Why no cape and cowel for Tim?

He did not need to put on them. Like lots of children, Tim is not somebody who wears the identical garments each day.

4) out of the three titles, which one has been the toughest to try to create?

None! It has been a blast! (Hope that does not come off as a cop out… I imply it!)

kungnima

Will Aqualad present up in Teen Titans?

Finally, however not inside the first yr.

Rixec

Will the Teen Titans ever meet Static and Blue Beetle?

I am unable to think about they will not. However no plans proper now.

HubrisRanger

Hey Scott, cheers for doing this. Two questions, one structural, one fan-boyish.

1) Your books all through have had a wholesome humorousness, and I’ve heard Red Hood is following that custom. What concerning the different two? Do you discover that humor is high quality you count on in superhero tales?

I would not say I count on them in superhero tales as a lot as I look forward to finding humor just about anyplace (have you ever ever gotten the giggles at a funereal?!) If we’re portraying these characters and conditions as actual, it’s possible that humor goes to indicate up someplace! =)

2) Are you able to say something concerning the standing of Stephanie Brown or Cassandra Cain? I really like each these characters, and each have very fascinating relationships with Tim and one another. I really feel like they wilk constructing in direction of one thing with that triangle, and was curious for those who had any plans for that triangle.

Alas, I’ve bought nothing on both one.

Thanks once more, and good luck sifting by means of all these!

LOL! Proper?!

buttersdaman000

Why does Superboy have completely different seems in Teen Titans and Superboy?

Requested and answered! Scroll above! =)

danhimself

Man I really like that he is doing this!!! So superior that he is taking time to reply all of our questions…I hope extra creators see this and resolve to do the identical

Me too! However that wasn’t a query so I’m ignoring it! Oh, wait! You tricked me!

manolis

Do you like me?

What’s to not love, Dr. V?!

Additionally, inform us three cool intimate issues about your new character from TT #3, “Wall” 🙂

He is Mexican. He is an everlasting optimist! And he is homosexual (as you’ve got in all probability realized by the point these solutions have arrived!).

spiderbat87

@danhimself stated:

Man I really like that he is doing this!!! So superior that he is taking time to reply all of our questions…I hope extra creators see this and resolve to do the identical

I do know its fairly cool. Thanks man.

I can’t be tricked once more! (LOL!)

Jackwong

To begin, I am actually anxious concerning the upcoming reboot. Nervous extra so than excited, which is why that is so lengthy.

Are Raven and Beast Boy hanging out with Donna in outer area? What about Wally? Was Lian born? Many people would love for them to be alive within the DCnU, ideally not faking demise.

Requested and answered, sorry!

Could not the inventive staff be extra unique with names earlier than deciding on Bugg and THE WALL?

Like “Cyborg” for a robotic and “Raven” for a woman with an extended blue cape with a sharp nostril on the cowl? Child Flash for a youthful model of Flash? (If I got here up with that now, think about who many individuals would accuse me of being frightfully un-original! LOL!) A man dressed up as a bat and is known as Batman. Why not simply “Bat!”? “I’m… Bat!”

However critically, I feel you’re overthinking it. We might spend per week, you and I, going over present character’s names and sorting by means of those that you just discover acceptable after which we might spend one other few weeks developing with alternate options to these names.

And there are rumors that Tim and Cassie are at odds with each other.

Not likely, no. No extra so than you and I are at odds.

Does this should do with their mutual love for Kon?

Why would that make them at odds?

Is Kon extra how he was within the Young Justice run or is he extra just like the cartoon model?

Um, neither?

‘Trigger this appears to be like an identical storyline to Young Justice the animated collection and I choose the Kon from the comics when he was youthful. Private opinion, although.

Aren’t all opinions private?

Earlier, you stated, “Koriand’r doesn’t have lots of fond recollections on the subject of her “past love” right here on Earth, so don’t count on her to have any emotions of nostalgia for a handful of youngsters she doesn’t know.” Why does DC devalue Dick and Kory’s relationship a lot?

Do you maintain onto each relationship you’ve got ever had in life? I used to be married for 8 1/2 yr and nearly by no means consider my spouse in any respect some ten years later. Dick and Kori had been in love they usually broke up. Do you suppose it will be a extra correct portrayal of relationships in the event that they spent the previous couple of years carrying a torch for one another? I do not actually see the place two individuals transferring on from their previous devalues something.

They liked one another and I perceive for those who guys need to ship Dick/Babs, however Kory was an enormous half in Dick’s life. He went from being a sidekick to his personal man together with her. Please do not write it out in order that they had been solely in a relationship for the sexual facet of it as a result of it was rather more than that. They nonetheless care very deeply for one another, even after breaking apart, as a result of being a Titan is all about being a part of a household. And on the finish of all of it, households love one another, it doesn’t matter what.

Um… so they’re a former couple who love one another or they’re brother and sister who love one another? Or they’re a former couple who, over time, have come to see one another extra like brother and sister? Have they stopped sleeping with one another once they began feeling brotherly and sisterly to one another?

Once more, these are your opinions. I do not like to consider characters as mired previously.

Additionally, not a query, however I really like the truth that Jason appears to be related to the Bat-fam once more. Maybe Mia can present up in a problem and reconnect with him and her brother?

No plans for that.

redwingx

@Jackwong: I agree. Kory made Dick to the person everyone knows and love. Starfire is a large a part of Dick’s development. She does not deserve this.

Have you ever stayed in love and on good phrases with everybody who was an enormous a part of your life? I feel that might make you a really uncommon and fortunate individual.

TimDrakeRedRobin

All writers clearly have completely different writing kinds that present when writing a characters actions, actions and many others. my questions are,

What’s Tim Drake’s persona going to be like on this collection? who of the opposite characters do you suppose are going to play larger friendship or rival roles in Tim’s life on the staff? How completely different will Tim’s combating type be now that he has wings? And eventually, how outdated is Tim going to be?

Tim is Tim and I do not see his persona altering. You’ll have to to inform me.

LastSonofViltrum

Are all pre-existing encounters/relationships between characters featured in Teen Titans nonetheless thought-about canon?

No.

kilv007

I am happy with Bugg, however the Wall….why did u title him the wall. if he has the ability to create partitions.. does that actually clasify as tremendous energy? Why would somebody hunt a teen who can create partitions? ..okay this may be plot associated, sorry..

Effectively by now he has been renamed Bunker, so perhaps that will likely be extra palatable. You do not suppose a man who can create psionic partitions has tremendous powers? Think about if you’re a staff of tremendous heroes and the Starship Enterprise drifted into orbit and open hearth on you and your pals… however one in every of them might psionically create a wall in entrance of you. I might suppose that might be superior to have that child round. (Additionally, for those who had been in control of, say, a SWAT staff, and you possibly can someway educate them to be “bullet proof” by psionically making a wall… would you?)

How does he pertains to the TT, he’s a cheerful boy, with a pleasant household…Tim is an orphan who was practice by batman, or u might say a loopy vigilante is dependent upon perspective, Cassi has Zeus as a father, I suppose Zeus continues to be her father, connor has Lex and Kal-el as his …genetics codes, Bart is not even suppose to be born, the Bugg, i’ve some loopy concepts so in poor health simply keep silent..so THE WALL, what’s his perform within the TT? how does he match on this class of atmosphere, only for the journey, that feels like a positive kill..

Um, you answered your individual query, I feel.

Additionally if he’s Mexican would not u wish to put him in a extra conventional emmmm….colours. as an alternative of purple?

Um… do you suppose he ought to be dressed within the colours of a Mexican flag? Which one? And do you suppose all Individuals ought to put on crimson, white and blue? Hmm. I reside a couple of block away from a closely Mexican-populated avenue in Los Angeles and belief me, you’ll not discover a extra colourful avenue within the metropolis! Awwww!

Love the brand new TT by the best way…the brand new Red Robin uniform, niiice…

Thanks – and thank Brett Sales space!

TheGoldenOne

Would you want to jot down the X-men once more?

Are you providing? Is that this Axel?! I’m flattered!

mfundo

Why does Martian Manhunter pose as an African American whereas Miss Martian poses as a Caucasian?

Not a clue.

Will Miss Martian seem within the reboot with an superior new look?

Alas, no plans for the most well liked chick in Titan’s historical past!

Will Superboy ever get it on with Miss Martian or is he too space-ist to hook up with a Martian?

LOL! Who would not, given the possibility?!

dan6433

Let’s have a look at what number of instances we have stated “up to now” up to now. Up to now we have stated “up to now” a number of instances. Nice composition, ‘G-Man’.

Up to now, so good!

1fearless1

Scott,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I’ve been studying comics since for a really very long time now and I have been very disillusioned on what DC/WB’s resolution on Cassandra Cain as a villain.

Will she ever come again as one of many good guys once more? Perhaps a part of the Teen Titans?

I’m sorry to say I’ve nothing so as to add to the Cassandra Cain dialogue.

DC/WB and different comedian firms on the market ALWAYS put out black characters and name it “Variety.” That’s Not contemplate range, when ONLY black characters are created.

Will we be seeing extra Asian superheroes (Not some martial artist professional) sooner or later? If not, then why?

Thanks!

Effectively as you realize, Miguel shouldn’t be solely of Mexican heritage, however he’s truly from Mexico. And the mysterious “Charcoal Girl” shouldn’t be from round right here both. The villains in TEEN TITANS #2 are Samoan triplets named Thrice.

There’s additionally a detailed buddy of Jason’s in RED HOOD & THE OUTLAWS primary who’s Asian and never some martial arts professional (though she does have mad abilities!)! However sure, lets have extra various characters from across the globe!

And there you might have it, gang! This was the final entry on the midday reduce off level!

It has been a blast, and I hope to make it an everyday factor — however perhaps sooner or later we have to restrict it to the primary twenty questions?! LOL! Do not feel badly — it was my very own fault for not placing a restrict on it. I’m usually stunned I bought so many responses!

Sorry for the individuals who requested questions I did not get to reply — perhaps the following spherical?!

See you within the humorous books!
