James Robinson and Sterling Gates at War of the Supermen event in Norman, Oklahoma [video]
James Robinson (“Starman,” “Justice League: Cry for Justice”) and Sterling Gates (“Supergirl,” “World’s Finest”) were in Norman, Oklahoma for a “War of the Supermen” event at Speeding Bullet Comics. Matt Price and Kyle Roberts provide a special bonus comics video from the event.
James Robinson on “Superman”
In the second part of his interview with Comic Book Resources
, James Robinson talks about “Superman,” a new “Justice Society” project, and the new “Starman” collection. Robinson’s first story arc of “Superman” will feature the Jack Kirby-created character Atlas.
Robinson told CBR:
“…the idea of bringing Atlas into present day and having the Man of Tomorrow meet the Man of the Past is a lot of fun.
“At the same, in terms of Superman’s rogues’ gallery, yes, he has guys that can beat him punch for punch; fist for fist, Doomsday is obviously the prime example. But they all lack any sense of humanity. Atlas is going to have humanity. The way I like to look at him is like in the Marvel Universe, Namor is a hero but he really skates the fine line between being a hero and a villain, but he stays on the side of the hero.
“Atlas, skates that line between hero and villain but he ultimately always falls on the villain side.”

Does Jack Knight Cometh?
Over at Newsarama, a conversation with Dan Didio yielded this tidbit about my favorite Starman.
“2008 will see the return of James Robinson to the DCU in a very strong and positive way, and with James coming back, I can only hope that Jack comes back with him.”
Not to get all fanboy crazy, but….
HELLS YEAH! WOOOOOO!
Also included — Ethan VanSciver is insanely interested in doing Plastic Man work (possibly even in continuity?) and Smallville’s Chloe Sullivan, recently said to be appearing in the DC Universe proper, will not be appearing in the DC Universe proper.
