So I was just watching a video on youtube where a guy looks at various designs of Batman’s costume, and explaining why certain versions of the suit make sense for the project it appears in.
And as part of his B-Roll, he pans over a shot of comic books. One of them has Batman in a very Batman generic pose. On a rooftop, just looking into the distance. That pose.
But the thing that caught my eye, is it also said “Writer - Kevin Smith”.
Whaaa? Holupaminute. Is this a case of just two people unrelated having the same name? Or are you telling me that the guy who directed Clerks is now a writer for legit DC Batman comic books???
he’s written a ton of comics. his love for comics isn’t really hidden. I mean he sold his entire comic book collection in order to make Clerks. Mallrats main character is a comic book nerd. Chasing Amy is about a couple comic book writers falling in love and an “inker”. He had a show on AMC called “Comic Book Men” about his friends running his Comic book store “Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash” in west bank New Jersey. he has a podcast about comics and movies. Dude is neck deep still to this day into comics.
His daughter’s name is Harley Quinn Smith.
