Angela's the boss.

Fan splurge, no question.

All your spec scripts/comic arcs you've presented in interviews, videos and even PDFs have been really enjoyable. Bond, Pan, Patton, DaRoS, The Robins, Knightfall... everything I've seen found talking about existing stuff of ideas for stuff*. You're amazing at it.

I have dreams of you collaborating with Red Letter Media on... anything. Just guesting on Half in the Bag. Or posing for a photo together. Or a full length film. I know you're too busy to, but please do something with them.

EDIT And your Dubai talk about what screenwriting really is (being able to rewrite based on notes, basically).

What are your greatest fears and grandest hopes for how Me Him Her will be released and received?

Also, what are the Illuminati's plans concerning yourself and George Clooney?

Another late question, probably to go unanswered.

If Me Him Her is successful on the scale it's intended to be (my guess is - critically and cult), do you think you could approach DC or Marvel in doing a minor character comic book movie as writer & director?

I know you've said elsewhere in this AMA you'd like to have a go at writing Wonder Woman, Green Lantern & Batman. I'd like that. But I also know that even if you get them the project is so massive that what you write and what you want to do with them might get lost in the process that is film making.

So maybe look to write & direct a smaller one. Like one of the "Marvel Knights" level characters. The Punisherª, Blue Beetle, the Alias/Jessica Jones MAX line, Baracuda, Booster Gold (heh) - that sort of thing. A project they probably wouldn't be too eager to get off the ground in general but might see an opportunity to make something special with a young, creative, new writer/director.

It'd be low budget, of course. Maybe $20-$40 mil. But man, imagine what you could do with it with a moderate level of creative control.

Imagine.

ª (But not The Punisher. We've had enough The Punisher. But if you do do The Punisher please have him be militaristic, not spinning in the middle of a room dangling from a damn chandelier.)

PS: On the off chance you haven't read the Alias/Jessica Jones MAX run, you should. I think you have based on something you said in an interview once about Purple Man, but just in case. I'm not sure you'll like it, you might find it a little heavy handed, but it's worth a read nonetheless.
