<a href="http://www.comicbookresources.com">Comic Book Resources</a>'s column The Comic Wire recently had a chance to talk to Batman group editor Bob Shreck about the upcoming year for The Dark Knight. Below is an excerpt:
Looking ahead to 2002, Schreck sees several projects that get him especially excited about working on them.
"But outside of the fun that all our writers and artists are delivering in the regular monthlies including the grand finale to 'Batman: Fugitive' as well as the conclusion to Frank Miller and Lynn Varley's DK2," Schreck told CBR News on Thursday, "There's the hardcover 'Wonder Woman: Hiketeia' by Greg Rucka, J.G. Jones, Wade Von Grawbadger and Matt Hollingsworth, and the other hardcover 'Legacy: Last Will & Testament of Hal Jordan' by Joe Kelly, Brent Anderson and Bill Sienkiewicz."
Shreck expects "Green Arrow" and "Green Lantern" to be the books that most surprise readers in 2002.
Speaking of "Green Lantern," this was a title that Schreck said he never expected to be working on as the full time editor.
"When I accepted the job at DC I was expecting to be working exclusively on the Batman rooster of titles. 'Green Lantern' was one of the first books I inherited when Kevin Dooley left DC, this was helped along by the fact that Ron Marz (the then writer of GL) and I had worked very well together when I was at Dark Horse editing 'Batman/Aliens' with he and Bernie Wrightson."
