night expectations wicked
I read THE WICKED + THE DIVINE last night, and no matter how high your expectations are for it, its better.
believe thinking people
That's what everyone thinks--they think being a cop is about punishing people for doing wrong. But that's not true. You know it isn't. It's about believing in people, believing in the good. In the will of people to do what's right despite their own instincts.
men lasts last-man-standing
I always, always got to be the last man standing.
hero personality psychology
I spoke to Geoff Johns a lot. We went back and forth, and found a way to bring up the best qualities in his personality and psychology and also fill a niche in Gotham that we've never seen. It became about is there a way to really plant this hero in Gotham and say this is someone you haven't seen before - both in terms of who they are as a person and who they are as a hero.
night long together
Does it matter how long they were together that night? To lovers, an hour can last a century. But even for lovers, every hour ends.
mets said lost
- If I tell you, will you let met go? - You bet, partner. [...] - You promised! - Nope. I said "you bet." You did ... and you lost.
few-words sometimes changing-your-life
Sometimes, all it takes is a few words to change your life.
films movies nice otherwise screen unseen
These films are a nice enhancement to what we usually do, which is to screen movies that would otherwise go unseen in the Lehigh Valley.
head life ready thoughts throw worst
The first thoughts in my head were, 'Are we ready to see the very worst life can throw at us?'
thinking heroism inspired
First of all, what made him [Duke in "Zero Year"] captivating is this sense of somebody who wants to save the city regardless of whether Batman wants to or not, but has been inspired by Batman. He's always been - not combative with Batman or anything - but I think he has a sense that what Robin is and what heroism is in Gotham is something that's inspired by Batman and sort of separate from Batman.
thinking worry scary
This one's like that because it's about these things that I think weigh heavily on me in terms of my own failings and the things that I worry about and my personal demons. Is the sum of my personal demons greater than the things that I like about myself? Is this moment - because it's a particulary high tension, scary moment for all of us in terms of the global climate - going to bring out the best or the worst in us?
character interesting helping
[Duke] is the same way that Harper Row is a character who doesn't want to know who you are beneath the mask, and that makes her interesting. She'll show up and help Batman, but she never wants to know if he's Bruce Wayne.
fun humorous thinking
I was on Batman with "Superheavy" or "Zero Year" where there was a lot of fun and bombast, but it was also personal. [In All-Star], I wanted to take that to its complete extreme, like the end of the Earth extreme, where it's over-the-top humorous, yet at the same time really deeply about what I think is of this particular moment in time, at least for me. The things I'm terrified of and the things I'm hopeful about. My life is the page.
character
One of the things that's great is that Batman is a character that lends himself to very personal stories.
