Today at San-Diego Comic-Con, DC editor Ian Sattler and a few lucky fans interviewed comics superstar Grant Morrison for approximately an hour, leading to many laughs and some interesting revelations. Check behind the cut for some of the highlights of the spotlight (via Newsarama).

  • As stated in interviews before, Morrison remarked that he wasn’t quite done with Batman, and that there would be more on this statement at the following Batman Panel.
  • Somewhat confirming rumors that have been circulated, Morrison said that he will be writing something Wonder Woman-related “soon.”
  • Multiversity, the namesake of our fair site, should be out next summer, and you can expect to see Frank Quitely’s artwork gracing its pages.
  • As usual, you can expect to see hints of things to come in Morrison’s current work.
  • Morrison has written two issues of Seaguy Eternal, so it appears that despite the first trade being out of print and the second not even being collected, we can expect the third to still be published.
  • It’s a possibility that DC may be able to re-release Morrison’s Flex Mentallo in trade after years of legal controversy.
  • Absolute We3 will be out next year, including 10 brand new pages. Morrison referred to it as “the definitive, director’s cut edition.”
  • As hinted at in Final Crisis, Morrison wants to transplant Kamandi and Jack Kirby’s New Gods to Earth-51 in the DC Multiverse.
  • Morrison claims we will see many different interpretations of many different characters in the pages of Multiversity.
  • Grant said that he relates to the Joker. Creepy.
  • One of the Multiversity titles will be “Thunder World,” containing “everything Morrison wanted to say about those characters.”
  • We may expect more of Jason Todd in Grant’s further work on Batman.
  • Morrison teased that we would be hearing some great news in the immediately following Batman panel.
