On Blue Beetle And Booster Gold's Involvement In Smallville:

"I love the Blue Beetle. We introduced [this version of the character] back during 'Infinite Crisis.' I always like the chemistry between him and Booster, so when I was going to do this episode, I wanted to do those two together and I think the story that we came up works really well. It’s very Booster 1.0, meaning he’s in the early stages of his career as a hero -- and is pretty self-serving. You’ll see Beetle’s origin, Booster first meeting Clark and Lois and maybe a cameo by someone from Kord Industries."


On The Future Of DC's Animated Series' On Television:

"There is already a series that we’re working on that I can’t get into yet but yes, you’ll definitely see more animated series coming from Warner Bros. Animation. Bruce Timm, Alan Burnett and Sam Register really love DC and DC is in really, really goods hands. And if readers haven’t checked out 'MAD,' I highly recommend it."


On What He Thinks About Batman: Live:

"In all sincerity, when I first heard about it, I didn’t quite understand it. But when I heard the guys that were behind 'Walking with Dinosaurs' were involved, I was all ears. So I met with them and we talked about what they were thinking about doing and I started working alongside them and it just sounds awesome. I mean, to see Robin’s origin unfold before you... It’s perfect for an arena show. It’s not a musical because Batman may be good, but have you ever heard him sing?"


On Who He Thinks The Stage Show Will Appeal To:

"It’s a really smart story but it’s also for families. It’s for everybody. If you’re a fan or a family or if you’re even just a casual Batman fan, it’s truly for everyone."

I don't really care for Timm doing the next Batman show. I really wish we could just move on.

I look forward to seeing Booster and Beetle on Smallville, although I think Blue and Gold would be great for a cartoon series.

@Icon; Move on from Timm? Are you out of your frakking mind?

canadiancastaway The Batman did not suck sum people grew to like it later because it was being compared to Batman the Animated Series. Timms Batman the Animated Series was better but The Batman was decent it was mainly directed towards kids but The Batman did have modern day gadgets and interesting fight scenes, again it was not better that Batman the animated series but how can U say U dont mind the brave and the bold but The Batman sucks, I like Brave and Bold but The Batman was a new twist, I think DC is trying to do new things and sumtimes U have to

So we get original, cocky, up-him-self, joker version of Booster.

And Jaime Reyes version of Blue Beetle.
And with that I have almost no intrest any more in this ep.

Batman sang on The Brave and the Bold for the Music Miester episode too didn't he?

Then there is the musical from Batman Beyond:

Can't wait to see how badly Crapville messes up these two guys. Let me guess, blue and gold jacket and blue jeans?

Blue Beetle 1.O? I am confused I thought they were doing the Jaime Reyes version of the Blue Beetle so how can it be Blue Beetle 1.O?

After the Spiderman musical failed why on earth would anyone do a Batman one?
