#16 - GRANT MORRISON (RETURNS!)

Grant Morrison returns to Half the Picture to discuss *Batman Deadpool*, their new comic book. Morrison explains that Marie Javins from DC Comics offered them the project, which sparked an immediate idea related to Deadpool's fourth-wall-breaking tendencies and Morrison's earlier work on Animal Man. This project offered an opportunity to revisit and revise a past Suicide Squad storyline where Morrison was caricatured as a writer with writer's block. The conversation explores the stoic nature of Batman, the kindness present in Morrison's work, and the collaborative process with artist Dan Moira, whose storytelling abilities and attention to subtle character nuances are praised. Morrison also shares insights on James Gunn's *Superman* movie, new horror projects, and the revival of Captain Clyde.
