3. It's called Jartemis? Well I did think it was a little fast although the Annual gave me the impression that they both have feelings for each other.

If I read it correctly, Lobdell essentially said as far as he's concerned Jason and Artemis won't be having romantic feelings for the other anytime soon, unless he's fired tomorrow and the next writer wants to do it. And I like what he implies. They are not a natural fit romantically but they can still love and be loyal to each other, in the platonic sense.

I understood that. I mean Artemis spent the Annual teasing Jason by making him think she liked Dick. Once she's alone with Dick he instantly asks her if she's together with Jason. She questions Jason being with anyone and Dick's "out of of his league" remark sounds like something you'd say to comfort someone who's going through heartbreak. The art has them depicted kinda somber.

Well he does admit the possibility of Jason and Artemis having feelings for each other but is worded in such a way that it wouldn't be a traditional relationship and certainly not one that would define the characters moving forward.

Lobdell will also be with EVS answering fan questions this Saturday

4. Jason is not another Punisher but he still kills when he really has to. And he'll be more violent and darker. ---> Perfect

Exactly. This was a pretty insightful interview throughout but that part really caught my attention, and its something I have been insisting for years as well. That Jason isn't just punisher-lite, killing indiscriminately, its not his only method, but a last resort to dealing with high profile criminals. Though I am looking forward to Lobdells tease for a more violent and darker approach, glad to see that thats what the higher ups also now want for the character and series as well.

Though in the meantime it was nice to see where Lobdells decisions lie with that topic and how he is sometimes restrained, such as when he was describing the Qurac scene, writing that Jason then kills some of the terrorists, only to have the editor be like,

ED: 'no dude, he can't he promised Batman'
SL: 'Its a WAR scenario!'
ED: 'still! he pinky promised'

I'm ad-libing :P but you get my point, I'm just glad to see that Lobdell has a good grasp on Jasons moral compass when it comes to killing, since I admit I was worried he was trying to imply that Jason would now stop killing for good.

Everyone stops at the second basket. The impatience. For all they know it could be his last one.

Interview with Lobdell yeeee

https://batman-news.com/2017/12/21/h...ist-criticism/

Pretty good interview that explained some of the things I complained about like the dumb "I promised broose!!" idea that made no sense to me. So, it was because of the old editors (freaking editors...) and the new ones want a darker approach with Jason now (YES!! Please make him dumb this stupid promise!).

I hope we get more interviews like this in the future.
