The Rundown: “Batman/Superman” Bruce Wayne Rumors Surface, Antony Johnston Talks Writers vs. Artists, and more

Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown on comic news stories we missed from the previous day. Have a link to share? Email me at david@multiversitycomics.com.

– The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision blog takes a look at who could be the contenders for Bruce Wayne/Batman in the upcoming Batman/Superman film. Lots of names are considered, but Richard Armitage? That’s a fascinating name. That said, the rest of them don’t really get me riled up, so here’s hoping they expand the search past the names mentioned.

– Antony Johnston, writer of “Wasteland” and the upcoming “Umbral,” takes a look at the great comics debate of writers vs. artists that has recently been omnipresent damn near everywhere.

– You guys! A preview of Hellboy: The Midnight Circus is here!

– Are Disney and Marvel going to open a theme park inspired comic? Oh boy, I sure hope so!

– Continuing the discussion from this weekend, The Beat overviews the hot topic of late: should writers pay artists upfront for creator-owned work?
