OMG! If it's half as good as the superman one i'd **** my pants

 

[TimBisley]

There is a god.

 

[Mystirious]

This looks pretty fab I hope its good as the Superman Secret Identity comic book

 

[fifthfiend]

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Assassin]

you know, i've never been able to find the superman one in any store? i've only been able to take it out from the library.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I still haven't read Superman: Secret Identity. I should get on that.

 

[The Caped Knight]

WOW, If it's as good as SUPERMAN: Secret Identity then BRING IT ON !!!!

 

[⨏㋡ﾒｿ]

Holy crap, that's awesome. I loved Secret Identity. Why make his name Bruce Wainright, though?

 

[yenaled]

Awesome news.

 

[Artistsean]

Same writer, same artist, (exact same idea?), sounds AWESOME!
I really cannot wait. Secret Identity was so great.


but... will the story be exactly the same? About a guy name Bruce Wayne, like the comic character, becomes a vigilante in real life like the comic character? Or will they make changes that make it too different?
Bah, Busiek is awesome and I am sure it will be good.

 

[Harlekin]

Count me as being on the fence. Superman: Secret Identity was phenomenal, yes, but I'm not sure the same approach, even if changed to match, will fit Batman as well.

Exclusive Interview: Kurt Busiek Returns To 'Astro City'

I do have at least one more company-icon project, though, in that I'm working on a follow-up to the "Superman: Secret Identity" project I did with Stuart Immonen. It's called "Batman: Creature of the Night", and John Paul Leon is doing the art, and it looks astounding. But like "Secret Identity", it's not set in the "main" DCU -- it's a story that uses the Batman concepts and history to tell a very different kind of story. That's been a project we're working on pretty slowly, so I wouldn't expect to see it hit the shelves anytime soon, but when it comes, it'll be worth it.

I still haven't read Superman: Secret Identity. I should get on that.

me either

i got it from the library once

and got like 3 pages into it

and said 'wat is this, who is this stupid kid' and read something else

 

[WompuM]

I feel like I heard this news like 2 years ago.

 

[The Question]

Sometimes books take a long time to come out.

Anyone have a feeling this is going to be a smarter version of Kick-Ass? Because I'd be down with that.

 

[Naked Shia]

so we first heard of this project back in 2010. Busiek said he wouldn't hit shelves anytime soon, and I guess it won't be released this year. But do you think we may get it in 2015?

 

[Young Superman]

This is cool. Superman: Secret Identity is my favorite Superman story ever, and if this is even half as good as Superman: Secret Identity it will rock.
