Mark Waid 4 | New History of the DC Universe

Mark Waid is back with the Bandits for his fourth solo appearance, as we dive into his latest projects and thoughts on the current state of Superman. First we jump into James Gunn's recently released Superman film and get Mark's takes, specifically on the approach to Jor-El and Lara's portrayal and whether the movie successfully captures the optimism that defines the character. The core of the conversation centers around Mark's "dream project," New History of the DC Universe, and the challenges of weaving 90 years of DC continuity into one cohesive timeline. Mark also talks about his current work on Action Comics, where he's diving into Clark Kent's teenage years with artist Skylar Patridge. Finally, we delve into his ongoing Batman/Superman: World's Finest series, revealing his approach to keeping the iconic partnership fresh and what makes this collaboration stand out from previous team-ups. New History of the DC Universe #2 hits stores this Wednesday, July 23. And the Mark Waid adventures continue in Action Comics, World's Finest, Batman & Robin: Year One, Justice League Unlimited, and the upcoming crossover event DC K.O.! (Damn, Mark... it's tiring just typing the names!)Support the show___________________Check out video versions of this and other episodes on YouTube: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits!If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or wherever you found this episode.
