Some key points:
Rucka pointed out that Kyle Baker’s Plastic Man series wasn’t cancelled because it was bad – it was cancelled because no one was buying it, even though it’s a fun book.
Asked how Superman Confidential and Batman Confidential fit into the larger DCU and continuity, Didio said that the titles were conceived because, looking back on the two characters’ respective histories, it’s hard to pinpoint that many specific, key events in their development as heroes. With these stories, readers will be able to see and collect key moments that are important in the characters’ lives and that matter in the larger scheme of the DCU.
In talking about Superman Returns, Didio said that he enjoyed it, and compared it to the first X-Men film, in that it was a good movie, and you can see the potential in the characters for further exploration. Asked if DC approved the major plot revelation in regards to Superman and Lois Lane, Didio said that Levitz was involved behind the scenes, and DC, not so much didn’t approve it as they did not veto it.
Jeff Smith was in the DC offices this week, Didio said, and has tow and a half issues of his Captain Marvel miniseries done, so DC is looking at a November or December release.
