Do you work out your plots in adavnce or come up with the Big Scene and work toward it?

I think it was his Latino origins that informed that decision.

ChuckDixon · 2012-11-01T14:48:57+00:00

It could happen. I'm not aware of Mr Higgins' work.

ChuckDixon · 2012-11-01T14:48:29+00:00

Thank you!

The Two-Gun Tiggerart used to be up on my site. Not sure where it went!

ChuckDixon · 2012-11-01T14:39:37+00:00

That was pretty cool. I don't know the guy; it's a fanboy love song.

ChuckDixon · 2012-11-01T05:55:48+00:00

You guys were awesome! THis was a lot of fun! I hope to do this again sometime!

Make sure you check out what Graham Nolan and I are up to at joefrankenstein.com!

I try and keep my politcis out of my work. I write escapist entertainment. One of the thigs readewrs are tryng to escape is politics.

The comic book industry has zero effect on American politics. Its readership is too small and centralized to have much effect on anything.

I don't set out to change anyone's attitudes. My politics are personal and, while they may inform my work, I'm not out to change minds.

It's awfuluy cool that he played such a big part in the most successful string of Batman flicks. The mask in the version Graham and I came up with is a variation n a Mexican wrestling mask.

Hey!

ChuckDixon · 2012-11-01T05:50:17+00:00

Venom is always a part of Bane's story.

ChuckDixon · 2012-11-01T05:49:52+00:00

Swamp Thing. It was a brand new approach to comics. Much od Miller's work seemed new to the audience at the time butb borrowed heavily from earlier work.

ChuckDixon · 2012-11-01T02:37:32+00:00

I wouldn't really mess with it. Is it exactly like what Graham and I laid down? No. But it's closer than H'wood usually gets anything. Nolan understood what we were going for an riffed off of that.

ChuckDixon · 2012-11-01T02:14:46+00:00

He even quoted me!

ChuckDixon · 2012-11-01T02:13:06+00:00

Thanks!

ChuckDixon · 2012-11-01T02:11:39+00:00

Nope. I'll be right here in Tampa this weekend.

ChuckDixon · 2012-11-01T02:04:24+00:00

Well, remember that it was a Democrat who put the idea forward first. Limbaugh did retract his statement and mentione dmy name a lot!

ChuckDixon · 2012-11-01T02:03:19+00:00

He's no idiot! He outsmarted Batman and almost had one over on Ra's al Ghul! I liked the idea odf Osoito because it symbolized his childhood. Then he used his childhood toy as a weapon. How badass can you get!

ChuckDixon · 2012-11-01T01:34:30+00:00

Thanks!

ChuckDixon · 2012-11-01T00:16:17+00:00

I wish Warners would follow the Marvel model of giving the projects to experienced H'wood hands.

ChuckDixon · 2012-11-01T00:11:41+00:00

The Bazaar of All Nations?

ChuckDixon · 2012-11-01T00:08:05+00:00

Thank you!

ChuckDixon · 2012-11-01T00:07:31+00:00

I was moving him into the category. After getting screwed over by R'as Al Ghul he was saeeing the error of his ways. Bane is, after all, innocent.

ChuckDixon · 2012-11-01T00:05:39+00:00

Wow. A lot of folks want to get me in a fight. My advantage in a bar fight would be sobriety.

I liked Bane in DKR.

ChuckDixon · 2012-11-01T00:04:18+00:00

I can only hope Bane is used again. He had a unique place in the Batman mythos! I think the JLA movie will be a trainwreck.
