Dan was such an important part of DC's successes in the 1990s. We're extremely happy to have him back with us, where he'll bring that same talent and enthusiasm to his new projects and the new direction of the DC Universe.
There was a quaintness to his 1960s (cartoon) that some people felt was open to interpretation. He has always been one of the more powerful characters in the DC Universe, but he has not always been portrayed in that fashion.
