LIVE Q&A: DCYou Unscripted Finalists! Tuesday, February 25th @5:30pm PST/8:30pm EST

[Behemoth]

Great stall tactic.

[Royce.Miller]

As I said in the pitch, my vision is fastest time wins. Unless disqualified by the guards catching them. It’s up to the folks here at DC whether that’s the system they want to use, but I think it’s the most fair.

[khristian012]

wholesome boy…kinda…deserved better…definitely, but at least he’s in a pretty good place nowadays

[Behemoth]

This is a question for everyone.
How grueling was the process?

[Reaganfan78]

Question for @Mollbrady, how will you show work? I’m still learning what a Cosplay is.

[CassTheStreet]

Did any of the three have another idea outside of the one that they pitched that they also submitted for the contest? (I believe you were allowed multiples)

[Behemoth]

Ooh, will there be famous guest stars like Geoff Johns on the show?!

[khristian012]

Cosplay is becoming anything you wish…even the Penguin

[Behemoth]

Or Reagan, if you still wish to be.

Hi! My question is for everyone.

What was your most memorable moment you will take away from this whole experience?

A tie for me.

• Filming the pitch was surreal. The chance to present a DC idea directly to Jim Lee and Dan DiDio and Diana Mogollon (and a cheering audience (total surprise)) is unbelievable. Like I still can’t believe it. The moment I finished and looked up to see them smiling and excited to dive in and chat about Cosplay Clash was the best. That post pitch Q&A with the judges was my favorite part of the day.

• My mentoring session with Phil Jimenez was so much fun! Phil is amazing and delightful and so supportive and talented and generous and excited to help creators. 10/10

Question for all three, has there been any changes asked by the higher ups about your premise or execution of your shows?

[Behemoth]

Applejack just wants Batgirl cosplay.

[khristian012]

Don’t we all

[Reaganfan78]

Question for all three, if your show gets pick, how many episodes do you hope your show will get in a season?

@Jay_Kay

To Elora:

• On your bio, it mentions having a lot of opinions about all the Robins. I have to ask then, who is your favorite?

• With the Local Comic Shop being harder to come by, how do you expect the show to keep going? Do you worry about running out of stores to cover?

To Molly:

• Is your “RuPaul Revere Rides Again” available anywhere? Because that is a title that makes one instantly want to know more.

• From what I’ve seen, the best cosplay costumes take a long time to create. While I imagine there will be a set time limit, how will you showcase the making of these cosplays on the show?

To Royce:

• You mention that Batman & Robin was your first exposure to DC/Batman growing up. Considering how maligned the movie has been in recent years and even now, do you still have a love for it?

• How often do you see the show changing up the different elements and rooms and mixing things up for the show?

Also, best of luck to all three of you.

1. Thanks so much! Also, thank you for asking about my Robin opinions. I think they are all VERY good, (including Stephanie, Carrie, etc.) The Robin I most relate to is Dick Grayson. I am wholesome to a fault. My friends realize this whenever they try to play party games with me. I’m also the oldest of four siblings who bear a disturbingly striking resemblance to the other Robins… Also, I’m recently out of college, which just feels like the time of your life when you’re in a big Nightwing mood.
   My favorite Robin growing up was Tim Drake in the Animated Series. More recently, I realized he was much more similar to comics Jason, whom I also love.

2. I think one of my main motivations for pitching this show in particular is the fact that comic book stores (along with record stores, indie bookstores, etc), are on their way out. I don’t think that is the case at all. They provide a vital real-life haven for fans from all walks of life, and are still very much alive out there. I think the more we can promote the stores that do exist, the more we can keep them alive.
   I’m not too worried about running out of material. I’ve been to so many good comic stores around the US- enough for at least a few seasons. And that doesn’t even take into consideration comic book stores around the world.

[Royce.Miller]

I like where your head’s at. Voice acting has been at the core of my pitch from day one. Such as The Olmac/Banker character of the Warden; I’ve sent a list of potentials for him ranging from internet influencers like Curtis “Takahata 101” Arnott to veteran character actors like John DeLancie. I’m not aware of what DC plans to do exactly, and can’t confirm or deny anything, but my dream is to use voice clips from the villains for when their associated team uses a power up or is caught. I love voice acting and would leap at the chance tp work with Mark or Alan or heck, even The Batman 05 cast. Kevin Michael Richardson is my third favorite Joker behind Heath & Mark.

@Penguinfan78

I have a question for all three, when will you guys start filming your own pilot, and how long do you guys hope each episodes will be, half hour or an hour? Best of luck to all 3 of you!

Thank you! Cosplay Clash is currently schedule to start filming in March. We’re still working out all the particulars of the show, but I’m sure I’ll be able to give you an update soon!

@khristian012

For Elora: Will those traveling on the show be Professional presenters, ordinary fans, celebrities, or any mix of them?

For Molly; Will the competition be based around episodic themes, such as certain characters, genres of comics, or eras in comics?

For Royce: Will teams receive certain “perks”/“abilities” for working under certain Rogues, such as getting tools associated with Penguin or Joker?

Last I heard, the team is working on casting hosts for the show. Not sure who exactly that will be yet, but I am confident they will be great!

[CassTheStreet]

Has anyone asked the three what their favorite DC characters are? Or series? That would be fun information if no one has asked
