Expand for Greg Capullo's Highlights on DC Universe
This is awesome! I’ll put down my two questions here: if you can say, who is your favorite writer you’ve worked with and did you enjoy working on Batman.
Wow! I own many pieces by Greg Capullo and I LVE his work! Thank you @DC_Community for this opportunity and THANK YOU Greg for joining us!
My Burning Question:
Your art is so crisp, creative, innovative, and beautiful! What is the most unexpected influence/inspiration for Dark Knights: Metal or The Court of Owls?
Thanks for doing this… erm… Mr. Capullo? I want to be formal, but that might be a bridge too far. Or maybe not enough?
When it isn’t explicitly detailed to you by the script, how do you plan out action sequences? I find your work to be extremely good at fight choreography and I’m, well, less than stellar at stuff like that, putting it mildly. I’m particularly thinking of the opening to the first issue of Zero Year (my personal favorite story you’ve worked on, if I may say), with the confrontation between Red Hood One and a disguised Bruce Wayne in a truck. It’s so elaborate and well thought-out, and I’m really just curious as to how you plan out pages like those.
Apologies for the length of the question, and thank you for doing this. Please keep drawing comics, because I think I speak for everyone here when I say your art is amazing.
Thank you for taking some time to answer our questions! As someone who would like to become an artist, I’d like to know what resources helped you learn about the structure and features of a person? What books did you use for reference when studying? Again, thank you for answering!
When making Dark Knights Metal. Did it feel like u were creating a no doubter? Or were there reservations? If so, what was it that worried u the most? I consider it a classic btw.
Hi! Death Metal is easily the most anticipated DC comic coming soon for a lot of people, and I wanted to know two things. 1) How long before the release dates do you get scripts for the series? 2) Have you ever drawn a Superman who Laughs, Wonder Woman who Laughs, Aquaman who laughs, etc. or had an image in your head of what that would look like?
Hey Greg, very huge fan of yours!! My question for you is how many times do you think you’ve drawn Batman as a Character either for a comic or just for fun?
Love the Wonder Woman design for Metal, with Wonder Woman wielding a chain saw with the lasso of truth being the pull cord.
How did you develop inspiration for your metal character designs? Did you have a lot of drafts or did you have a pretty clear vision from the start?
I’m super excited to see what Age of Apocalypse-Level Radness you and Scott have in store for Dark Nights: Death Metal. What’s been your favorite new Batman to draw for this event?
Thanks!
VE his work! Thank you
