I like the 90's art, I find the current 80's throwback style bland. I think you'd be shocked to hear that some people don't like Jim's stuff. For me it's the ultimate manly super art, the ultimate expression of the art form. Plus most of them haven't actually seen any of my work since the 90's and they are merely going off a couple of pinups. <br /><br />I'd like to cross over with JL at some point. I have suggested it, but I'm not sure if I'd like to take on another team book after TT. I would love to work with Geoff and Scott again!<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />BrettBretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12168403050889835504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68327275018045829.post-63153217757368053942011-07-07T09:39:59.025-06:002011-07-07T09:39:59.025-06:00iFanboy had an interesting podcast about the new D...iFanboy had an interesting podcast about the new DC universe. I guess I must really love 90's style art because I don't see it as a bad thing, were as they were probably most critical of your book out of all the relaunches. Why is 80's style art good and 90's bad? If you are a "Jim Lee-clone" and he is the "best" artist at DC why are you not equally revered? <br /><br />I am so excited for Teen Titans, and I'll go on record (and probably be hated) for saying I imagine much like his Fantastic Four run, at some point Jim Lee will need some fill in work and I so hope Brett gets to do some pages with Scott Williams throwing down the inks.<br /><br />-Stevestevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735856522366561444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68327275018045829.post-31844350863243262052011-06-25T22:19:25.583-06:002011-06-25T22:19:25.583-06:00hey :-)

I've been trying to draw Tim in his new costume, but have held off on completing it for now until I get a better view of the whole thing.<br /><br />When you say that the outside of his wings is not black, is the outside solid red? Is the inside still black and red the way it is on the cover and preview image? <br /><br />And one more question if you can answer, is the area just below his belt, the shapes in common with the Young Justice cartoon's Robin, solid red, or just red piping/lines? On the finished cover it looks like red piping/seams making the shape, but on the solicited sketch/promotional drawing those shapes are solid red, as they are in YJ.<br /><br />Whenever you post any of the designs, or have them used in an interview, or however they show up, I look forward to seeing them a great deal.<br /><br />Are you by any chance going to be at the San Diego Comicon this year?RonnieThunderboltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702701068828260322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68327275018045829.post-13326099611475097422011-06-25T10:23:35.207-06:002011-06-25T10:23:35.207-06:00No need Werwoefchen, only a few sour grapes here. ...No need Werwoefchen, only a few sour grapes here.

Yes we were told that the first 3 issues must be done... not sure if that's just pencils or totally completed by August 31. I'm actually hoping to be finishing up issue 4 at that point and I hope to be almost done with 5 when 1 ships. I'd like to do the first 12 issue without a fill in.<br /><br />I think they are a bit overwhelmed with all the titles.

I even asked DC if I could draw a 'special' image for Oni but they didn't want me to to;)<br /><br />I just saw the first colored Superboy image form TT1, fricken cool!!! I can't show it though:( They have started releasing a few things here and there so hopefully soon!<br /><br />Dylan,<br /><br />Thank you. I wanted more traditional one at first, before the whole reboot, not a reboot thing. Scott had actually done a script that I was just about to start drawing when they decided on re... tooling? SO with the new script new costumes to reflect the new direction. What Oni seemed to not understand is that his/her Titans were going to be cancelled. So if this one flops there will be no TT book. It won't get brought back to what he/she wants with those sales numbers. <br /><br />Robert,<br /><br />That's the plan, Tim is the real star of the book. <br /><br />Trust me these will be all new interactions, since this will be the first time they meet in the DCNu.<br /><br />Best!<br /><br />BrettBretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12168403050889835504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68327275018045829.post-63628894505777180992011-06-23T08:30:44.679-06:002011-06-23T08:30:44.679-06:00I hope we continue to see the character Tim grew i...I hope we continue to see the character Tim grew into over in Red Robin, the one Batman tapped as the next leader of the Outsiders over in Bat Inc. It feels like Tim has gone beyond the TT but I'll have to see how Scott and Brett tie it all together. With any luck they do well TT picks up and Tim can get back to doing his own thing. I've already seen him interact with Conner, Bart, and Cassie so it'll be interesting to see how the creators make that fresh when so many interactions between the four already exist in prior volumes.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05989780558557083642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68327275018045829.post-77149719319133414412011-06-22T19:38:22.426-06:002011-06-22T19:38:22.426-06:00Brett,

As to Tim's new look. I've made it clear both here and other places that I'm not a fan of what's being done with this book based on my initial impressions, but this is Brett's blog and he has laid ground rules regarding the criticism of the redesigns, so I will respect that and to be fair given the enthusiasm of his writer Scott for this project give the stories in September a chance to win me over. It wouldn't be fair for me to write off an entire project based on a couple interviews, one rough promo image, and one cover.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05989780558557083642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68327275018045829.post-30232770996359510762011-06-21T07:05:42.606-06:002011-06-21T07:05:42.606-06:00I get what you're saying Werwoelfchen, but Bat...I get what you're saying Werwoelfchen, but Batman's always been about the gadgets too, the utility belt is a magical thing, it has plenty of room for however many gadgets are needed, no matter how little space it appears to possess. ;) Besides, the bandoleer just has a bunch of lipstick capsules on it, so it's not like it can carry a ton of stuff, maybe a few extra pounds of very tiny gear, like portable flashlights and a few matches or something. <br /><br />Really, given how light the pouches on his current belt are, he could probably carry twice as much gear by dropping the bandoleer and just switching to a belt with bigger pouches, like so: http://www.petpeoplesplace.com/petstore/pet-image-large/batman-no-mans-land-vol-3-tpb-rare-oop-mint_370505750780.jpg<br /><br />At the very least maybe they could be made black instead of orange, the orange clashing with the red and black is the worst part of them.<br /><br />Also, don't discount Tim's skills, he was trained by Shiva (and beat her) and has fought off tons of martial arts enemies without relying on any more gear than Batman would use to do it. He does use his brains more than his brawn, he plans ahead more and thinks well on his feet, but that involves situational awareness more than it does what's in his pockets. Tim without any utility belt is as much a threat as any other Bat character, he'd just do it by using the environment against his opponent.<br /><br />Really, if any Bat character is gear-reliant it'd be Steph, since she's not nearly as smart or combat skilled as any of the others.Onihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029817971730388321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68327275018045829.post-13723166177107209272011-06-21T05:37:31.476-06:002011-06-21T05:37:31.476-06:00Brett, Oni,
Sorry if I interrupt your discussion ...Brett, Oni,<br /><br />Sorry if I interrupt your discussion but I have to say I also think the added belts/bandoleers are very useful for Timothy, because like Brett, said, he needs them for his many devices and bat supplies. Tim needs more devices and other things to go against the villains than other members of the batfamily, because he will never be as strong in fighting and in material arts like the other bat family members and he knows that and I think it does not matter to him. He knows that Bruce, Jason, Dick and even Damian are more skilled in fighting and stronger than him, but he is the smart one and he uses that to his advantage to go against the villains and that trait of his personality I like the most beside his geekyness, because it was always easier for me to relate to Timothy, who is not so strong than the others like Jason, Dick etc. but he uses his mind and not pure force and wins nevertheless against the bad guys and that is I think a wonderful message for the kids, or even adults out there who read comics. So now I am babbling to much. At the end I only want to say that the more belts are necessary for Tim in my opinion because without them he would not have an advantage against his enemies.<br /><br />Sorry for interrupting your discussion again and keep in your mind that what I wrote was only my opinion. ^_________- <br /><br />I wish you a nice day.<br /><br />Werwoelfchen<br /><br />P.S: I like the word Timness yeah :-)werwoelfchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17370267006062512999noreply@blogger.com
