Scott Snyder Reveals DC's All-In/Absolute Initiative

[@JimMahfood]

This was awesome, man! And thanks as always for the plug, you’re the best! We all appreciate you, dude!

[@thebombspayloadisexposed]

Hey man, I recently read the story you and Brian Azzarello did in Batman: Black and White, and it was wonderful. Thanks.

[@ComicTropes]

Thanks for watching.

[@JimMahfood]

@@thebombspayloadisexposed Thank you!

[@RobotMartian2000]

Thank you both for doing this interview! It got me to call my comic shop to put Absolute Batman in my saver. I appreciated Scott’s insight into DC’s “All-In” initiative. The branding of it didn’t make it quite clear what it was. But now I have a better understanding of it’s goals. Looking forward to seeing where Scott takes this new version of Batman and his world!

[@Johnnycam1]

You're the best Chris!!

[@Kukaak]

I'm not a DC guy so when I heard about the Absolute Initiative I didn't pay much to it, but this convinced me to have a look when it comes out, it sounds really interesting

[@Taqi616b]

Congrats Chris.. great interview 🎉🎉🎉 They are all great, but this was a nice surprise.

[@michielwes1]

Great interview Chris! Really happy to hear you both are genuinely excited about what we love!!

[@johnp4424]

Really excited for Absolute Universe. I'm all in on all in :) I have all 3 on my Pull-list. Thank you Scott. Really enjoy your writing and your energy, initiative and contribution to the comic book verse

[@daydreamhero1374]

great interview man..All In!

[@mikecunningham4682]

Really loved this interview Chris! I've been on a Marvel kick recently but hearing Scott's excitement about these Absolute titles got me to preorder 😅 I love how much you just let him speak, and how thoughtful your questions are, you can really tell that you're listening as hard as the audience is.

[@johnv3623]

Another great episode!

[@jackrichards2]

Ive never watched anything with Scott in before, hes such a great dude. No wonder i love your books, he has a big heart, and wears his emotions with pride. Cannot wait for Absolute Batman!

[@masoncorrea5224]

if scott snyder ever reads this he’s gotta know I could listen to him talk comics and his creative process for hours and hours

[@Thompson51]

Looking forward for ABSOLUTE 😎

Very excited for all in

Adding Absolute Batman to mu Pull List

[@cg2135]

I pre-ordered everything! Totally all-in 👍🏻

[@Kevin_Street]

What a great interview! Thanks so much to you and Scott Snyder. I'll definitely get the All In Special. As for Absolute... I'm not committing to the series just yet, but I'll get Absolute Batman #1 to see what it's like. I might check out Absolute Wonder Woman, because of Kelly Thompson's impressive work on the Scarlet series. As for Absolute Superman, maybe... Superman's my favorite character, so I'm not sure about any dark re-imaginings. But it would be weird to get two out three #1s... I'll probably make the final decision on that one in the store.

[@tokujoe5763]

I'm looking forward to checking out some of the Absolute and All in titles but You Won't Feel A Thing sounds incredible.

[@ComicTropes]

Yes, I’m also excited for that book.

[@MrEdWeirdoShow]

Did somebody say, "Absolute Explosion" by DC? Meantime, Chrisopher Robin, this cool Snyder guy - is he by chance related to Ditko apostle Robin Snyder? That would be awesome.

[@willywitchdoctor]

Usually more of a Marvel guy, but the Absolute comics look like a breath of fresh air, same as the new Ultimate run. Especially Absolute Chud Batman. Love how overtop his design is

[@CoraValentine1999]

@@willywitchdoctor I’m typically a Marvel reader too and the first ongoing series I started with were the Ultimate titles. It’s really so exciting to be a new reader this year between that and Absolute!

[@KenLieck]

I'm waiting for the Scott Snyder cut of this video...

[@peterlinfield]

I've really enjoyed Snyder's independent work lately - Night of the Ghoul and Wildfire in particular. I love Dragotta's work, so am interested, but like all these Absolute titles (and Big Two in general), I'll wait and see what people are excited about once a volume or two are out.

[@ComicTropes]

I understand that caution because I do it on some books, too.

[@Novaargh]

16:03 Scott, i'm a life long comicbook reader and still do so now. Please, don't mix up comicsbooks... With comicbook movies.. Comicbook movies are a phad, those are big now, because the people watching those have never held a comicbook and are in awe about how cool and amazing these characters are. Meanwhile we have knows this for all of our lives. Comicbooks are better, they don't need an MCU or a DCEU or what ever else silly abreviation they come up with, because reading takes to much time for their little brains. It doesn't matter if WB / DC can't make it with movies based on their characters, Those books kick ass and that's what counts for the reader base. I haven't spent money on a comicbook movie or tv show since end game, and i will never again. Meanwhile i have 10 titles in my monthly pull list of both DC and Marvel combined. We don't need those movies man, let it go. comics are way more fun and worth my money.

[@owlcircus6811]

Comic book movies have been going strong since 2000 man. It’s not a phase. Every year has at least one in the top ten

Favorite part 42:19-43:19

[@daanthing6002]

Maybe it's good and i'll probably buy it, but i don't think i need an absolute Batman. Ever since Morrison's great Batman run i'm waiting for a writer to give me some ordinary Batman stories. Just Batman fighting and solving crime. Catching low life scum, rich bastards and classic villains. But new writers always want their turn at their ultimate Batman story and are really putting him through the wringer. Give me some O'Neil/Adams or Moench/Jonen stories please.

[@shenal1369]

You constantly interrupting him when he's on the verge of answering your question or providing new information he didn't cover in other interviews to rudely reframe the exact question you just asked TOOK ME OUT OF THIS. Usually love your content, absolutely hated this interview, absolutely unbearable. Even more egregious was your constant shift in conversation in the middle of him talking, you can see it wear down on Scott in his facial expressions.

[@revnole]

Get your own show dude

[@nicklindsey3099]

Not sure exactly what show you listened to. But Chris and Scott did great interacting with one another. This was a great conversation instead of 1 person doing all the talking

[@shenal1369]

@@nicklindsey3099 I'm not advocating for Scott to monologue the entire time, I'm talking about how he was clearly interrupted in the MIDDLE of answering the literal question he was asked or halted in the middle of conversation to abruptly transition topics, which was very rude and fucked up the flow of this interview. I'm not sure what show you watched, because it's clear as day, and clearly took a toll on Scott as the interview went on.

[@StopFear]

Ok, I am aware superheroes will always hold someone’s interest and the writers and the artists are hired to make superhero content. But , generally speaking, how much superhero content is too much? And why always some alternative worlds , alterations? Personally I think superhero genre has reached so much saturation in culture that it’s just something there should be less of

[@addax4lf]

I partly agree with that but imo there is a large selection of all kinds of comics out there. You can just pick whatever you wanna read and ignore the superhero ones if you want to.

[@Brian_Boru]

I'm buying the Superman Triangle Era Omnibus. Quality guaranteed. New DC? No, that's a risky gamble and far too expensive.

Sounds like all the good writers retired and now only the activist writers remain. The death of DC is the interesting story.

[@OM19_MO79]

@@redhaze7663Superhero comic books are an endangered species thanks to the over saturation caused by the MCU. Add the terrible management at WBD that will surely result in a split or massive folding of most divisions and, yes, it’s pretty safe to say this is the chronicle of DC Comics’ death. And don’t play the “DC Studios” cart. That Superman movie is gonna be cringe and meme fuel. The worst part is that I really like DC characters more than Marvel, but today the path both companies have taken with the printed part of their businesses, makes it really hard to be a fan and don’t feel ashamed about it.

I'm crying, saying something as stupid and reactionary as "activist writers" shows a fundamental lack of understanding and familiarity with a medium that has been used for decades to explore politics, as all art does. You clearly haven't read much if you'd say something this silly.

[@bigdaddy0614]

Let's be honest. It's gonna yet another failed reboot. I'm sorry but DC (and Marvel) keep burying themselves deeper and deeper. They've never bounced back since the failure of New 52. Rebirth tried and showed glimmers of a return to goodness.. At alas the constant pandering to the far left and catering their books to an audience that isn't even buying their books has proven to be a failure. The constant need to push Corporate Diversity Quotas (aka "Tokenism") has turned away old fans and failed to reach new readers. The LGBT crowd along with women and minorities were happy with DC. They didn't need you to pander to them. They know when corporations are just pushing political pandering.

[@TheChadTI]

HARD AGREE

[@jjh01harmon38]

Imagine if you put all energy that you did into writing this comment into actually reading a comic

[@CoraValentine1999]

I’m new to getting single DC issues and my first series was the Dawn of DC Hawkgirl book. I absolutely loved it and I’m definitely going to be buying more from DC going forward. If you think that I wasn’t ecstatic to learn there was a trans character in that book, then you had better guess again. I’ve read a bunch of old trades and collected issues of Marvel and DC, but I had never seen a character I connected to in that specific way. In fact, at the time I didn’t even know any queer people in real life. Reading that series helped me feel less alone and afraid all the time. I know that might sound hyperbolic, but if you’ve never felt that level of isolation, I just don’t know that you would get it. I would really encourage you to consider and approach new perspectives. I well and truly believe that you lose a valuable part of your humanity when you refuse to learn and grow. I don’t want that for you or anyone else. I want us to get along and I want us all to have comics that can appeal to us. I’ll be praying for you, God bless!

[@FreshNews247]

Dude has done a trump. In every video he's saying the same thing. Seen one seen them all. Just like trump

[@CoraValentine1999]

It doesn’t seem like a good marketing tactic to me to compartmentalize parts of his pitch in different interviews. What if someone only watches one and doesn’t get his entire message?

[@omstar01]

People have been reiterating talking points on the press circuit way longer than Trump has been a public figure, this is nothing new. Also, the comparison to Trump seems weird when dude’s just talking about comics.

[@FreshNews247]

​@@omstar01no my point is they are both out there at the same time both literature saying the stuff no matter what their asked

[@omstar01]

@@FreshNews247 yes I understood that. My point is that’s not a Trump specific thing. Everyone does that when they’re appearing to promote something. It also seemed strange to me to bring Trump up at all when talking about Scott Snyder, who’s a pretty uncontroversial guy.

[@FreshNews247]

​@CoraValentine1999 Look if he had a set pitch that goes 30 minutes and then gives each interview a fresh interview I'LL understand but when he's saying the same thing, "BATMAN MAKES A CARD IT'S MADE FROM BATMAN TECH ON THE BACK OF THE CARD YOU CAN SEE HOW IT WORKS" his said this in ever interview in the last 20 minutes EVERYTIME! so no it's just a cheap audio bite. He should had recorded one interview and had it so each youtuber could add there head into it as if its a different interview on the same day 😅😅😅
