:60 with Darian Barnes
You’ve announced that you’re in the process of making an animated movie featuring athletes with superpowers. Have you always been into comics? Yeah, it’s something I grew up with. As a kid I loved watching cartoons and reading comics. Back then, it was more Batman and Green Lantern. Now, it’s more Punisher –still some Batman.
Who’s your favorite superhero? Probably Batman, because he’s so focused, so dedicated. He’s human, but he’s unshaken by what anyone does. He’s got a one-track mind. He’s almost a bad guy in a lot of ways, but he’s still good like a lawful tough guy.
What did you think of the latest Batman movie? Oh man, it was amazing, absolutely phenomenal. It was the best movie I’ve ever seen.
What kind of powers will your superhero athletes have? They range. I can’t get into too much detail. It’s still under wraps. But I would call the guys superheroes. Batman … he’s not a superhero to me.
So your characters have superpowers, but aren’t superheroes? Right (laughing)
