Comic Book Couples Counseling Podcast
Exclusive: Daniel Warren Johnson on Absolute Batman Annual

There's zero doubt, Absolute Batman Annual #1 will be one of the year's most talked-about comics. Featuring three stories by Daniel Warren Johnson, Mike Spicer, James Harren, Dave Stewart, Meredith McClaren, and Clayton Cowles, this hefty comic centers on the early Absolute Universe adventures of Bruce Wayne, revealing how that chonky Batmobile came to be, and just how Black Mask's party animals first encountered the Dark Knight. We read the comic a couple of weeks back, and the instant we flipped that last page, we were compelled to get Daniel Warren Johnson into a Zoom room. Thankfully, he obliged. Johnson's untitled story makes up the bulk of the Absolute Batman Annual. It propels Absolute Batman against a white supremacist horde, showcasing some of the most brutal action from the ongoing series so far, while doing so in a way that questions that violence's effectiveness. As Daniel Warren Johnson has showcased in other comics like Murder Falcon, Do a Powerbomb!, and his recent run on Transformers, badass, jaw-dropping visuals are only half his might as a creator. DWJ breaks hearts as often as he breaks bones. “It's in my blood and it's boiling, and I have to get it out.” In an exclusive conversation with Comic Book Couples Counseling, Johnson explains how his tale in the Absolute Batman Annual came to pass. We discuss his reluctance to contribute to the world so expertly crafted by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta, and how one single image eventually caused him to put everything he had into this character and universe. Daniel Warren Johnson tells us why supplying only compelling, catastrophic action isn't enough for him as a storyteller. He requires more than an exclamation point to climax his stories. He needs a question. Absolute Batman Annual is now available from DC Comics. Make sure you're following Daniel Warren Johnson on Blue Sky, Instagram, and his Website. This Week's Sponsors Judge Dredd Megazine turns thirty-five years old this October, and it'll be celebrating with a very special issue perfect for first-time readers!

The hosts delve into the specifics of the enhancements, such as improved privacy settings, redesigned notifications, and the seamless integration of new apps that make everyday tasks more efficient. They also touch upon the exciting new devices that have been launched alongside this update, including the latest iPhone models and the advancements in the iPad lineup, which promise to deliver an even more immersive user experience.Following this, Joe enthusiastically shares his excitement about his newest kitchen gadget, the Ninja Thirsti drink system. He elaborates on its innovative design and multifunctionality, which allows users to create a variety of beverages, from smoothies to infused waters. Joe explains how the gadget simplifies the process of making healthy drinks at home, making it not only convenient but also fun to experiment with different flavors and ingredients. He invites Cody to share his thoughts on kitchen technology and whether he has any favorite gadgets that enhance his culinary experiences.As the conversation progresses, Joe shifts the topic to discuss Absolute Batman, a notable series from DC's Absolute Universe, penned by the talented Scott Snyder. Joe asks Cody for his insights on this series, prompting a deeper analysis of the narrative arcs and character developments that define this iteration of the Dark Knight. They explore the thematic elements that Snyder introduces, such as the complexity of morality in Gotham City and the psychological depth of Batman's character, making it a compelling read for both new and longtime fans of the franchise.The discussion then transitions to the latest announcements from the most recent Nintendo Treehouse event, where the hosts express their excitement about the inclusion of the Nintendo Virtual Boy in the lineup of retro gaming experiences. They reminisce about the impact of the Virtual Boy during its initial release, despite its mixed reception, and speculate on how its revival might resonate with both nostalgic gamers and a new generation of players. They discuss the potential for updated graphics and gameplay mechanics that could modernize this classic gaming system while preserving its unique charm.Finally, Cody shares with Joe all the details from the most recent live stream hosted by FuturLabs, where they showcased some impressive new features in the upcoming Powerwash Simulator 2. Cody describes the innovative gameplay mechanics that were unveiled, which promise to enhance the player experience, such as new environments to explore and additional cleaning tools that can be utilized. However, he notes that the live stream did not reveal the much-anticipated release date, leaving fans eagerly speculating about when they can get their hands on this exciting sequel. The conversation wraps up with both hosts expressing their enthusiasm for the future of gaming and technology, eagerly anticipating what other surprises lie ahead.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy

You've both tackled grounded, character-driven Marvel stories before (Daredevil & Echo, Werewolf by Night). How did those past experiences shape your approach to writing in the heightened, alternate-reality stakes of the Ultimate Universe?5. This book also has a framing story by Deniz Camp and Juan Frigeri — how did you coordinate with them to make sure the one-shot felt both self-contained and part of the bigger Ultimate Endgame build-up?6.

How do you view the role of levity in darker narratives, and was that hard to weave into the story?****Green Arrow has taken on a grounded, street‑level tone, focusing on character interactions and big‑pharma themes. How did you adapt Ollie's voice and moral compass to fit that setting while keeping iconic elements intact?**Between writing for Green Arrow, scripting Ultimate Wolverine, and launching News From The Fallout, you're balancing very different tones and genres. How do you switch creative gears between mainstream superhero work and experimental creator-owned stories?Ultimate Wolverine launched early this year—what fresh angles or emotional truths are you exploring compared to past Wolverine iterations?Your work this year traverses themes of isolation (Fallout), social justice (Green Arrow), and visceral heroism (Wolverine). How are you threading your personal storytelling voice through these varied genres and publishers?Looking back at your 2025 slate so far—what's been the biggest creative challenge, and which project pushed you most as a writer?Between Otis shooing raccoons in News From The Fallout and Green Arrow's trick arrows, it seems like you have a knack for writing characters who could survive in the weirdest camping trip imaginable. So: if you had to survive a weekend in the desert with Wolverine, Green Arrow, and Otis—who's cooking, who's in charge of the firewood, and who's most likely to accidentally summon a threat to the camp?

In this episode, we sit down with Dan Greenfield, editor-in-chief of 13th Dimension and veteran comic book journalist, to explore his journey from a 5-year-old Batman fan to becoming one of the most respected voices in comics journalism today. Dan shares the origin story behind 13th Dimension and its mission covering comics, creators, and culture. We also discuss how comic journalism has evolved in the digital age, and what insights he's gleaned from interviews with legendary creators like Neal Adams and Chip Kidd. We dive into his particular obsession with Batman comics, tracing his love through the classic work of Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams up to modern runs by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, while also exploring how he balances nostalgia with contemporary coverage. Dan opens up about the challenges and rewards of running an independent comics website, his experiences covering conventions, and the current state of comic book criticism.You can follow Dan's work on where else but the 13th Dimension website: 13thdimension.com!Support the show___________________Check out video versions of this and other episodes on YouTube: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits!If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or wherever you found this episode.

Everyone has a Batman opinion. Inside your imagination is a definitive Batman: a Batman who should behave this way, and a Batman who should not behave that way. Your tight grip on your Batman is why Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta's carefully considered Absolute Batman works so damn well. They fully understand and appreciate how the character has congealed over the last eight decades into a rock-solid idea. For the last eight months, alongside collaborators like Gabriel H. Walta, Marcos Martín, Frank Martin, Muntsa Vicente, and Clayton Cowles, Snyder and Dragotta have chipped away at the quintessential Dark Knight. They've altered elements of his origin, removed his social position, and rearranged his relationship with his rogues. Their Absolute Batman is a Bruce Wayne in motion, moving toward the impenetrable idea in your head, but struggling to match it. Here is a character growing into something, evolving into a recognizable hero for 2025. After confronting Mr. Freeze in issues seven and eight and facing the final days of Matches Malone, Bruce Wayne must reassess his war on Gotham City crime. What lessons did he learn from that awful day at The Zoo? Do his nights as Batman honor his father's sacrifice? As he fights to find himself, a grotesque demonic doppelganger appears - Bane, the nineties sensation who once broke a bat from another universe. FOC for Absolute Batman #9 is today (5/19/25)! Tell your retailers to order a copy for ya. With this comic, Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta have cooked an undeniable banquet. As the best alternate reality stories should, they've weaponized your knowledge of these characters against you, subverting in radically compelling ways, while delivering what should never be manipulated. Today's podcast features two conversations. Up first, Scott Snyder joins us for a lengthy look back at the last eight months of Absolute Batman. We discuss Bruce Wayne's continuing development into the Dark Knight, his complex relationship with Joe Chill, his father's killer, and why Bane had to arrive sooner rather than later. Secondly, Nick Dragotta pops in for a conversation about his ultra chonky Bane design, and how what we've seen so far is only a hint of his true monstrosity. Absolute Batman #9 will finally arrive in stores, courtesy of DC Comics, on June 11th. Follow Scott Snyder on Bluesky and Instagram, and subscribe to his Substack.
