Mark Waid Doing a Q&A Over On DC Universe

If anyone wants to pop over and ask him a question I thought I’d post the link here:

Ooooo, I just realised that Didio being gone means that Waid can finally return to the DCU.

Awesome.

It’s honestly hilarious to me, practically the minute Didio got fired Waid started getting invited to do stuff with DC again.

He has? Nevermind then, I just posted I suppose it would depend on Lee, but if he's already being offered work that answers my question.

On Word Balloon he talked about getting calls from DC Editors again, so while he doesn’t officially have a project announced, I don’t think it’s impossible that whatever DC has cooking post-Death Metal will have him involved. Personally I just want a Birthright sequel, a “Year 2” Superman that isn’t tied down with all this continuity bull****.

Well, Waid isn't doing much with Marvel now...

I have good memories of his Brave and the Bold, so I kind of want him to relaunch DC Comics Presents as a Superman co-feature again. Let him write Superman and whoever else he wants and only deal with continuity if he wants to. He's one of the few guys who can really do it.

Sold. I would love to see Waid explore the original story he had planned for Birthright, but changed because Jeph Loeb told him they were already planning on doing it on the Smallville TV show...then didn't.

Waid's plan was to have Clark battle a malfunctioning Jor-El AI. In retrospect, that makes all the douche moves Smallville's Jor-El AI pulled make more sense. I have no idea why they abandoned that plan.

Actually, jor el ai did malfunction in Smallville, if remember correctly.

I always read the original story was Brainiac showing up and invading, interesting to know where you heard the Jor-El AI story.
