Screen Rant spoke with Joshua Williamson on Superman & Knight Terrors at SDCC 2023.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Superman is about to face a Doomsday-level threat, all while the entire DC Comics universe is trapped within a swirling nightmare of their own making, and one writer is behind all this epic chaos and gruesome mayhem: Joshua Williamson.
Joshua Williamson: It's been great. It's been really awesome. I've been coming to this convention every year since 1995. I've seen this Con evolve. I remember a time when I could stand in the middle and I could see all four walls. Here, it's like, that goes on forever. You can't see it. And with this, it's like it is a fight that is incredibly hard for him. It becomes one of those things where it's like, obviously this is more than just a fight, but it feels like an unstoppable force, and it forces Superman to think outside the box on how to beat him and have to actually consider: can I beat him? And I think that's where it's always the Doomsday-level kind of characters where they can easily just destroy things like they're an unstoppable force.
With Knight Terrors, it was, okay, who is the [lead character]? And that's how I feel about events. I'm like, "Okay, I need to make sure I have an emotional arc for someone." And I have to have POV on the event. It has to have stakes. With Knight Terror being an event, can you talk a bit about the decision process for deciding each character's nightmare? Did you all get together? Was that all overhead or was that left up to the individual writers?
Joshua Williamson: Honestly, the hardest person to come up with is Batman because we've seen it. I actually wanted to do a story about that. The fact that we've seen Batman's fear, we've seen his nightmares, and he's re-lived them so many times. I actually wanted to make a commentary about that idea that he's seen it so many times.
And then, House of Mystery. And then there was another one, I forget what it was called now. But yeah, there's a bunch of different ones I've looked at that I really liked over the years. But I was definitely a big Vertigo guy. Joshua Williamson: That's funny. I don't know. I think it is a mystery of why. I like him because I always find that he’s a fascinating character. I like horror comics. I like spooky stuff, and I like the idea. My favorite kind of horror comics are horror with dark humor, and that's what he is. He's horror with dark humor, so I always loved that about him.
The event's villain is Insomnia. There's such an interesting mysterious threat. What do you think sets this big villain apart from other huge DC villains?
