AG: Absolutely none. I only write stories because I get paid for it so somebody would have to be willing to pay me before I’d start thinking about what I was doing. I’m not trying to sound greedy or anything; it’s just the way that it is, particularly when you’re writing work for hire. If it’s your own character then it’s different because you’re the only person in charge of its destiny. But with something like Batman they can hire Joe Blow off the street and by next month Batman could have triplets and it could be part of continuity and made retrospective so that it stretches back to the 1940s. No, there are just too many imponderables, too many possibilities. I need to be paid before I start thinking about it.
