We spoke with Michael Uslan about creating the Just Imagine Universe alongside Stan Lee and returning to the characters and world in the upcoming Tales of Earth-6: A Celebration of Stan Lee anthology.
This month, Stan Lee's version of Batman and the Justice League will return in a new anthology, Tales from Earth-6: A Celebration of Stan Lee, where several all-star and up-and-coming creators will tackle new stories involving his takes on popular DC heroes.
The origin of this whole thing was the night of the premiere of our 1989 Batman movie. At the premiere, virtually every star in Hollywood was out. And I could almost care less because I was hanging out with Stan Lee and Bob Kane that night - amid meeting all of the actors from the Batman TV show who played the villains. And Stan and Bob were ribbing each other. Stan turned to Bob and said, "you know, look at all this hoopla.
With Stan Lee's Batman... First, both versions are initially motivated by revenge. Wayne Williams comes out of poverty, as opposed to Bruce Wayne coming out of great wealth. Wayne Williams has an aide-de-camp in the form of Frederick, who, in many ways echoes, Alfred. But it's a little bit more tilted toward being his Yoda in terms of his training and his tech - and I thought it was absolutely fascinating.
Was Batman the character you were most eager to write? And what was it like going back to his world? And that's what Stan set out to do. That's what this is all about. And in every comic book, he said he wanted it stated flat-out that nobody should think he was doing this to better the characters. The creators of all these characters were his personal friends. And he had great admiration, and respect for them in their creations. And this was just a bit of having fun in that "what-if" kind of way and wanted to be sure everyone would take it that way.
This story with Williams' Batman is sort of the reintroduction of Hal Jordan in the Just Imagine universe, but in a different role than he had before. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Jordan was mentioned in a backup story in one of the original stories. Yeah.
