When both THOR and Captain America: The First Avenger were released, both of their respective comics received new #1 issues. When Spider-Man 3 hit the big screen, his comic book counterpart was suddenly "Back In Black". You see, whenever Marvel release a new movie, they capitalize on that by allowing it to affect the comic books in order to draw in new readers. Well, according to Scott Snyder in a recent interview with Hero Complex, we shouldn't get our hopes up for DC doing the same.
On Whether We Should Expect To See Any Sort Of Crossover Due To The Dark Knight Rises:
No. Not at all. DC really lets us do stories we want to do, pretty much. I don’t have any initiative from DC or Warner to include those characters. You won’t see Bane. And I’m really not sure if you’re going to see Catwoman, either, honestly. We’re really just trying to do the story that we think would be the best Bruce Wayne story at this point.
On Whether He Would Consider Writing For TV Or Film:
Yeah, I enjoy it. I’ve done a couple screenplays with my best friend, including “Severed,” a historical horror comic from Image. So, yeah, I’m up for it, and I love the animated stuff; I’d love to write for the DC Animated Universe at some point. I’m a huge fan of that whole Bruce Timm and Paul Dini kind of ‘verse. I’m up for anything. Anywhere I can tell a story that I’m excited about, I’d try. But I’m so focused on comics right now.
On Some Of His Other Future Plans With DC And What We Might See From Him:
Yeah, I love Elseworlds stories like “Superman: Red Son,” “Gotham by Gaslight,” “Old Man Logan,” “Days of Future Past.” I adore stories that explore some possible future or alternate reality. So when you get into those, there are characters that I never thought I’d be up for writing at this point. Superman, for example, is not someone I would tend to lean toward in terms of ideas as a writer, who all of a sudden becomes interesting because some tiny thing about them has changed. I love those kinds of stories. We actually have some planned coming up, so I’m very excited about them.
