new bermijo interview from jett (Re: Graphic Novel w/Azzarello)

[strider]

I like it....just as I like some of the other completely different versions of the Joker. Im glad we're getting soming totally different and sick.

 

[FCEEVIPER]

Joker is funny though. He made Batman laugh in The Killing Joke!

Heh.

 

[TheBatman072]

Good stuff.


Can't wait for that Joker miniseries.

 

[Dark Knight]

Bejermo is spot on with everything he says. And describes what is wrong with fans who can't adapt, or break out of their narrow tunnel vision. His stuff on the mandatory requirments are excellent as well. Anything within those given mandated, you can have fun with, and put your own spin on it. Which Nolan has done.

Exactly!

 

[Steelsheen]

JETT: What have you been up to since we last talked? (click to read BOF's first interview with Lee)

LB: I've been hard at work for some time on this Joker graphic novel with Brian Azzarello. It's pretty big and meaty so it's taking forever but it's a dream job and I'm loving every minute of it.

<snip>

JETT: Tell me about that Joker project -- sounds badass!

LB: The Joker project is basically an out of continuity story about The Joker and his relationship with the rest of the criminal underworld of Gotham. It's somewhat like the Lex Luthor story we did, but this one is different in the fact that the narrator isn't The Joker.

yeah that Lex Luthor story Azarello did was pretty damn cool! cant wait to see his take on The Joker.

 

[Assassin]

He drew the cover for Hush Returns?

he did the whole arc, the only reason why i bought it.

 

[IamtheBatman]

Who is this Bermejo I've never heard of him/

 

[Assassin]

Lex Luthor: Man of Steel Mini series, Batman Gothom Knights #50-62 I think

 

[Batty Belfry]

So is Mistah J a hermaphrodite?

I think that is stretching it a bit too far.

 

[SilentType]

But when you go and say he is "sexually mysterious," you ought to have your nuts cut off so YOU can be sexually mysterious. That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

What's with all the vemon about this comment? I don't see what's so terrible about Joker being of unknown sexuality.

 

[Shot Gun Shy]

Okay, I admit, a little too much. But I'm extremely belligerent about this comment. Why does he have to be "sexually mysterious?" Why does his sexuality matter? Why can't he just be a regular Joe who happens to be a little crazy?
But if sexuality has to be brought up, what makes it possible that he could be gay? Is it cause he wears bright colors and giggles alot? Is it cause he calls Batman pet names? As someone said earlier, in The Killing Joke, he DID have a wife and child, which probably means he wasn't gay. Or sexually ambiguous.

I guess because in our society when a male wears bright colours and giggles alot he is labeled GAY.
Im not saying its right in any way, but ppl look at others all the time and if they're "meterosexual" or like to look good and take good care of themselves, they must be gay.

Which, of course is incorrect.
Im a guy and I wear pink; I have a pink polo shirt and a pink tee, but im also young and a very hip dresser and so I can pull it off ( and lets not forget how liberated that colour has become for guys to wear in the past 2 years, lol )
My cousin does nails and alot of her clients are men; they go and get pedicures because they are business men and they have to look well groomed and well kept for business meetings and presentations.

Its these things that some guys woudl look at and be the first to label someone "gay".
But they are also the same guys who would defend till they're blue in the face that The Joker cannot possibly, in a million years be GAY.
Because ( I dont know...) I guess its impossible to be gay AND crazzy....

 

[cryptic name]

did everybody miss the point where he says morrisons joker came across as slightly "sexually mysterious" and that his and azarellos version will be different? i mean seriously, it's like people pick a phrase out of text and completely ignore the context.

 

[Motown Marvel]

bermejo is a genius artist! the man is incredible. though im not too fond of that first BOF joker pic, its excellently executed, and i dont mind the general design, the lips just look a bit too swollen 9teh puffy!). but then you look at that later joker pic with the spaghetti dude, and he's got it nailed there!! his comic book work is nothing short of brialliant. batman/deathblow: after the fire (written by azzarello) is a hidden gem amongst batman books.

 

[Beanjuice]

when does this novel come out?

 

[Mister J]

No one seems to know.
