ABOUT
"BATMAN: THE ACE OF DETECTIVES":
"Batman:
The Ace of Detectives" is an ongoing monthly serial adventure
based on the modern incarnation of the character in DC Comics.
For a
large part of my (youth-ier?) youth, I resented Batman. No,
really. I did, because a childhood friend of mine was a Batman
fan and I was a Superman fan and we'd always argue about who
would win if the two had a fight. We never really got anywhere,
but come on: it's no competition. Superman wins. Easy.
So you're
probably thinking what the hell I'm doing writing a Batman
audio play. As I grew older, I started to love Batman. He's
a fantastic character.
How'd
I get this job? Jeff was super-kind enough to read a near-complete
draft of a fan script that I'm still working on (after all
this time!); my take on the origins of Superman, why he does
what he does, that sort of thing. He said it was pretty impressive.
I said I know it is. He said drop the egotistic attitude.
I said stupid-people-say-what very fast. He said what. True
story.
Actually,
no. The truth is I started crying with joy and rolled around
on the floor like a baby. This is before he gave me the job.
I won't tell you what I did after.
If there's
anything I'm most proud of about this project, it's that I
hit the jackpot with casting the roles. I never dreamed that
such talented people would play in this show. So when you
listen to the fantastic final product of "The Ace of
Detectives", all thanks go to them. They deserve it.
When writing
this show, my absolute goal is to teach Batman and his alter
ego Bruce Wayne some very important lessons. Not about life
in general or anything like that, but about the reason why
he began this quest to cleanse Gotham city of crime and corruption.
His parents were killed in front of his eyes and as he grew,
he swore to turn fear on those who prey on the fearful. Right?
Right. And he's done this for ten years as far as this audio
play is concerned.
So, the
question we will be addressing is: What has Batman changed
in this time?
The answer,
whatever that may be (I'm not sayin' nuthin'), is exactly
the direction this audio play is heading and it's my hope
that it'll be interesting and fun for you all.
Have a
good one,
Sertan
