I’ve always thought Batman was too serious. Superman too boring. Wolverine too…smelly? I’m not sure about Wolverine. I’m not sure about Batman for that matter. After all, he’s got issues: he’s a a trust-fund kid, runs around with young boys in tights, creeps around in the dark, prone to violence — no wonder he’s drinkin’ hard. So I’m working on a series of animated shorts to deal with some of the funnier aspects of these two heroes and their careers, origins, favorite drinks,odd habits, and obsevations. As “24” producer Tony Krantz once told me, “…stay tuned.”
