    "Nemesis" Asks: What if Batman was The Joker?

     

    1259885401.jpg

     

    Superstar writer Mark Millar is no stranger to big events, and for two of his biggest projects, fan favorite Canadian artist Steve McNiven has been riding shotgun with the Scottish scribe.

     

    After collaborating on Marvel Comics' best-selling "Civil War" in 2006 and 2007, Millar and McNiven teamed up once more for the post-apocalyptic "Wolverine" serial "Old Man Logan" in 2008 and 2009.

     

    Five weeks ago today, Millar and McNiven released a one-page teaser poster for their third project, "Nemesis," with no information other than a release date: March 2010. Posters in the forums and the message boards throughout cyberspace have speculated that the book was everything from an "X-Men" revamp to an "Avengers" project and all points in between.

     

    The guessing can stop now as CBR News spoke exclusively with Millar and McNiven earlier this week, and the two shared as much as they could about their latest collaboration, a mini-series that will be released through Marvel's Icon imprint starring Nemesis, a supervillain that Millar compared to The Joker. The twist being that at his disposal, he had all of Batman's gadgets and resources, and that his primary target was Millarworld's answer to Commissioner Gordon.

    That major publishing event we mentioned earlier today? Well, here it is.

     

    Original stories featuring Batman and Superman in graphic novel form from the biggest creators out there. But these aren’t one-offs. We’re talking ongoing series of OGNs in a new continuity, on a new Earth.

     

    Sound appealing?

     

    Starting next year, DC Comics will unveil SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE and BATMAN: EARTH ONE, two graphic novels spotlighting the most powerful heroes of the DC Universe, with their first years and earliest moments retold in a standalone, original graphic novel format, on a new earth with an all-new continuity.

     

     

     

    Return to Smallville and experience the journey of Earth’s greatest adopted son, as he grows from boy to Superman in SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE by J. Michael Straczynski and artist Shane Davis.

     

    Watch from the darkest corners of Crime Alley as a young boy is struck by unbelievable tragedy that will forge the greatest crime-fighter to ever stalk the rooftops of Gotham City in BATMAN: EARTH ONE, by writer Geoff Johns and artist Gary Frank.

     

    What does JMS have to say? Well, here’s a snippet from his first interview on the subject:

     

    “What I’m trying to do is to dig in to the character and look at him through modern eyes. If you were to create the Superman story today, for the first time, but keep intact all that works, what would it look like?”

     

    “It is monumental for us as comic readers to see Superman birthed for the first time,” Davis said. “It’s a privilege to realize that you’re the artist that gets to draw it, better yet having the luxury to do it in an original graphic novel. This is going to be epic!”

     

    What about Geoff Johns? Well, we happen to have a bit from his first interview as well:

     

    “BATMAN: EARTH ONE allows Gary and I to break the restraints of any continuity and focus on two things: character and story.

    Location Scouting Has Begun for Riddick Sequel

     

    Vin Diesel has announced on his Facebook page that location scouting has already begun in New Zealand for a new installment in the "Chronicles of Riddick" franchise, for which director David Twohy has finished the script.

     

    In August, Twohy talked to ShockTillYouDrop.com about the project. "I've sketched out two ideas for the next installment," he said. "Vin and I have decided on one approach of those two, and there's some interest at the studio level but it would be as a PG-13 film, and we don't want to do that anymore. That's one of the concessions we thought we made with 'Riddick' that we shouldn't have made. We also spent too much money and we were too ambitions, so yes, if we do go back to a third one, it will be focused again, hopefully again the same way that 'Pitch Black' was, and we'll spend less money doing it. We're just trying to figure out how much less we can do it for, because I don't think Vin is going to work for scale again."

     

    He added that "the third movie would be more modestly-scaled and it would probably feel more like 'Pitch Black' then 'Chronicles.'"
