“…Comics stories are large ongoing things, and the people who read them are extremely aware of almost everything that’s going on inside and outside the individual comic. A TV show is something that even your biggest fans have a much more casual relationship with. So you really have to think of a single episode as a one-off. So, even in Justice League, where we did long, involved continuing stories, individual units had to work for someone who hadn’t necessarily watched all of the other episodes. As a writer, you’re coming at it a very different way.”
