And a reminder of how it all went down… Scott Snyder said " I was just about to go to bed at 11 o'clock, Jim Lee called, I hope this isn't like something bad… I was like Okay, here I go, in my pyjamas, what's up, Jim?" How are you doing?" And he's like, K.O. #1, we got the sales, it did better than we hoped… I had this idea. What if we bring in characters from other universes?" And I was like, "Oh, you mean like the multiverse?" And he's like, "No, no, no. I mean, like other franchises." That's out of my wheelhouse. Like, I can't call the Mortal Kombat people, or I can't call Blumhouse and be like, "Can we have Annabelle?" And I can't call, Garth Ennis. I mean, I'm friendly with him, but I'm not going to be like, "Can we use the boys?" And Jim was like, "Well, you know, let me see what I can do. And it was like the next day he called back, and he's just like, "We got this and this and this and this." And I was like, "Josh, just sit down cuz it's going to be more work"… if you want to see Joker fighting Annabelle and Vampirella and you want to see Lex Luthor go up, I mean, it's really fun. It's like Lex and Superman both against Homelander and all this stuff."
