A bit more.
Bendis praised his artistic collaborators on the Superman books, and said that all of Man of Steel is already written. He also clarified that he’s picking up from the current Superman and Action Comics storylines. “Dan Jurgens has been insanely gracious and cool with me, and I’m working with Pat Gleason on Action Comics,” Bendis said. “Pete Tomasi has been doing awesome work. We’ll be continuing the story that’s being told, but what we think is a great, fresh place to pick up the book.”
Bendis said he’s also surprised by discovering how much he loves writing certain characters. “I love writing Green Lantern. Yes, Green Lantern shows up in Man of Steel.”
“So many writers like writing the icons, I like writing the people,” Bendis continued. “I’ve been diving real hard into the people behind the icons.”
Last question concerned the challenge of writing Superman. “Writing Superman makes me feel good,” Bendis said. “It makes me feel the world could be this way if we get out stuff together. Also, I’m a father. I’m a man with a few jobs. I relate to this way more than I thought I would have. I look amazing in blue tights. I didn’t know!”
