As opposed to Marvel’s WonderCon coverage, which has been plentiful if a little shallow, DC has been fairly sparse with information about most of its panels, choosing instead to update its blog with the same kind of posts they usually would–only this time on the weekend.The one thing that DC took some serious time out to do today was to introduce fans to Scott Snyder, the best-selling and fan-favorite writer of Batman who, along with artist Greg Capullo, have exceeded all expectations in terms of quality and sales and have made the book DC’s top-selling digital title.The feature running at DC’s blog walks fans through Snyder’s bio and resume, from Detective Comics and American Vampire through the day he was called by Geoff Johns while making dinner and offered Swamp Thing. With no direct quotes and few details about what’s going on at WonderCon, it’s clear that they wrote this piece in advance, knowing that Snyder would make a big splash this weekend and that fans would be looking for more information on one of their new favorite writers.Says the blog, “How Snyder gets to the root of the story is he first figures out how the heroes relate to the villains and what frightens everyone. Every story has to be something that brings new aspects of the character to light and has to have the heroes question themselves and their place in the world around them.”So far, Snyder has spent the first six months of the relaunched Batman series putting Bruce Wayne through the wringer, torturing him physically and psychologically and showing Batman to be uncharacteristically unprepared for the hurting put on him by the Court of Owls.
