“I have a theory that women are generally given space and appointed to jobs when the situation is tough. I've observed that in many instances.

“Were really trying to make Crisis as accessible as possible, which is extremely difficult to do because it involves so many characters. But, again, you dont need to know all the details. Obviously the mainstays are there Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and heavily focused on. There are a ton of great characters, and a lot happens to them over the course of Infinite Crisis . Some change and evolve, others fall, but it really is about trying to bring everybody on stage. We probably have 90 percent of the DCU showing up, if not more but without losing focus on what the story is.” IfsKnowsNeedsTryingCharacterStoriesHappensFallCoursesDifficultWonderFocusStageLosingPercentInfiniteCrisisDetailsFocusedEvolveShowing UpGreat CharacterWonder WomanLosing Focus Author:Geoff Johns

“In crisis times, it's actually not more difficult to motivate your staff, because everyone gets much more focused on how they control their own economic destiny.
