Comments on: Chip Kidd to write Batman comic [Updated] http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2009/06/chip-kidd-to-write-batman-comic/ Covering Comic Book News and Entertainment Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:00:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: CBrown http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2009/06/chip-kidd-to-write-batman-comic/comment-page-1/#comment-11239 CBrown Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:40:34 +0000 http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/?p=12373#comment-11239 "Has he even started writing the story? I’d much rather hear - and get excited about - Chip Kidd writing a Batman story coming out NEXT WEDNESDAY. Not IN THE FUTURE. It could be due in the next five to ten years." I agree with this. Remember the announcement about Adam Hughes' Wonder Woman series? Or that X-Men graphic novel written by Claremont and drawn by Milo Manara? I'd sure like to buy those books that were announced years ago. “Has he even started writing the story?

Those Trinity logos are some of the worst I have ever seen. He is such an overhyped designer it is amazing. His designs are as bad as Turner's anatomy. Good job, DC- Give more work to an awful creator. His designs are truly horrible. Those Trinity logos are some of the worst I have ever seen. He is such an overhyped designer it is amazing.

I'll definitely look forward to whatever he produces. He obviously has affection for the character, is an established writer (though not in the comic form), but his enthusiasm is very apparent.

So yeah, he's pretty much a proven talent with an appreciation for the character. He also wrote an excellent Batman short story (art by Tony Millionaire) in DC’s Bizarro collection a few years back.

Beyond the memorabilia books, he's also written two prose novels that have been well received. I've only read one, but it was an excellent read. I really enjoy the man's work, and I'm looking forward to seeing what he does with this book. Kidd is more than just a designer.

What writing credentials does he have? He wrote a book about memorabilia I guess that's enough for DC. There are so many up and coming writers and artists who would kill to work on a comic yet someone who has a moderate amount of fame gets the job.

Artist suggestions anyone? anyone? I haven't seen new Walter Simonson art in a long time. I think it's time to see his Batman again.
