Woohoo!!!!

There was a new post on the DC website today detailing creative teams.

Geoff Johns, Brian Michael Bendis, Paul Dini, Christopher Priest, Denny O'Neil, Neal Adams, Kelley Jones, Dustin Nguyen, and Alex Maleev were named.

Surprised to see no mention of either Scott Snyder or Tom King.

Tomasi seems to be introducing a new version of the Arkham Knight to the comics.

I am now convinced that the 80 Years Special and the 'Tec 1000 will find a place in my collection !

[Badou]

Arkham Knight? Really? Feels a bit odd that this is the big Detective story that Tomasi is going to use. Everyone is going to associate the identity with Jason no matter what they do though.

[Armor of God]

Its a strange choice to go with. But I guess since Tomasi wrote the tie inn comics he probably had ideas that he wanted to use but was ultimately shackled by the game's story developments.

Maybe it'll end up being similar to the comics Prometheus and Arrowverse Prometheus situation. Maybe Tomasi's Arkham Knight will be someone with legitimate history tied to Arkham, possibly similar to the Lady Arkham character from the Telltale games. So maybe Tomasi will abandon the militia angle and the evil Batman appearance.

Ofcourse there was an original speculation that Arkham Knight was supposed to be a clone of Batman with Talia al Ghul's DNA added. But admittedly thar would make him Heretic lite.

No Dixon or Nolan? dissapointing.

Shame there's no Grant Morrison.

Yeah he said he didn't want to do any of the 1000's because he felt that he had said what he wanted to on those characters. He was also felt that if he forced himself to come up with something decent the likelihood was that he would get too involved and fail to stick to the short story guidline.

Ah. Thank you. Hope we'll still be getting Arkham Asylum 2 and the Bat book Morrison was talking up before AA2

Still a shame there's no Grant Morrison. Glad to see Paul Dini there. Not keen on Snyder's post New 52 Batman works. Like Johns, Tomasi and Nguyen. Nguyen doing a Batman: Lil Gotham tale?

Lack of Morrison is a gut punch and there were a bunch of other creators who deserved a shot a heck of a lot more than Johns and Bendis for sure. Overall, in the end I dont think it will be much different from Action 1000 creator wise(Snyder and King will likely be announced later) which is seriously lame and makes it automatically inferior to that one if I'm being honest. I can only hope that the lead story which introduces Arkham Knight will atleast be better than the one which gave us Rogol Zaar. I also feel that Tec 1000 will end up becoming a vehicle to push other upcoming stories:

Johns= 3 Jokers
Snyder= Last Knight
King= His Bane storyline
Tomasi= His Tec run/Arkham Knight storyline
If Murphy makes it then I expect the same for Curse of the White Knight


Priest's story is the one I'm looking forward to the most and I hope that he gets a proper gig within 2 or so years.

Oh, you know for sure that none of them were considered / asked if they wanted to contribute?

(And didn't somebody previously say something about Morrison specifically said he didn't want to contribute to either Action Comics #1000 or Detective Comics #1000 for various reasons?)

[Armor of God]

Oh, you know for sure that none of them were considered / asked if they wanted to contribute?

No but I find it hard to believe they didn't jump at the chance and if Bendis and Johns did then what does it say about this whole situation.

[Armor of God]

Morrison said that short stories weren't his cup of tea but he also kept away from AC 1000 so there's a consistency there to his words.

There could be many reasons why if a writer or artist were asked they may have passed on the opportunity. They may have exclusive deals to work at other companies; schedules may not have permitted them to make the commitment; or many other things.
Just because they aren't involved doesn't automatically mean they were dissed by DC. Until you talk to the people who are (or aren't) involved, it's a little premature to be more than simply disappointed they aren't in it.

The fact that Bendis has been with DC less then a year and is involved with both big deal anniversary issues is fucking ridiculous in my opinion.
