For instance, when speaking in regards to the comedian ebook inspiration behind The Brave and the Bold<\/em>, he stated, “This is a narrative of Damian Wayne, who’s Batman\u2019s precise son that he didn\u2019t know existed for the primary eight to 10 years of his life. He was raised as a little bit assassin and murderer. He\u2019s my favourite Robin. It\u2019s primarily based on the Grant Morrison comedian run, which is certainly one of my favourite Batman runs.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Then, on Thursday, Feb. 2, Gunn tweeted out extra of the DC Comics inspiration behind the brand new DCU: (1) All-Star Superman<\/em> by Morrison, Frank Quitely, and Jamie Grant; (2) The Authority<\/em> by Warren Ellis, Mark Millar, Tom Peyer, Bryan Hitch, Dustin Nguyen, and Quitely; (3) Batman<\/em> by Morrison, Andy Kubert, and Jesse Delperdang; and (4) Absolute Swamp Thing<\/em> by Alan Moore, Stephen R.
