October 4, 2010: Revisiting DC One Million 12 Years Later

Superman/Batman #79 Newsarama.com has posted an interview with writer Chris Roberson discussing the return to the DC One Million universe within the pages of "Superman/Batman #79".

    Newsarama: Chris, fans have often wondered why DC hasn't revisited the 853rd Century and the concept of DC One Million more often. What motivated this story in Superman/Batman? Was it something you pitched to them, or something they suggested?

    Chris Roberson: The editors on Superman/Batman, Matt Idelson and Will Moss, contacted me and asked if I'd be interested in pitching story ideas for the book. Growing up as a DC fanboy in the '70s and early '80s, the old World's Finest title was one of my favorites, and some of the Silver Age stories Curt Swan drew for that book remain some of my favorite stories of all time. So naturally I jumped at the chance to write for the modern-day successor to World's Finest.

    I'm also a huge fan of Grant Morrison's work, and have been rereading all of his comics over the course of this year. When Will Moss told me that I could suggest a partnering of any two "Superman family" and "Batman family" characters, the first thing I thought of was DC One Million.
