James Robinson on “Superman”

In the second part of his interview with Comic Book Resources
, James Robinson talks about “Superman,” a new “Justice Society” project, and the new “Starman” collection.   Robinson’s first story arc of  “Superman” will feature the Jack Kirby-created character Atlas.

Robinson told CBR:

“…the idea of bringing Atlas into present day and having the Man of Tomorrow meet the Man of the Past is a lot of fun.

“At the same, in terms of Superman’s rogues’ gallery, yes, he has guys that can beat him punch for punch; fist for fist, Doomsday is obviously the prime example. But they all lack any sense of humanity. Atlas is going to have humanity. The way I like to look at him is like in the Marvel Universe, Namor is a hero but he really skates the fine line between being a hero and a villain, but he stays on the side of the hero.

“Atlas, skates that line between hero and villain but he ultimately always falls on the villain side.”
