There is a lot in superheroes that's just really goofy, and you just kind of have to take it for granted. How much learning had to go on on the SOE side about your universe?
JL: A lot of the team members are die-hard comic book fans; a lot of them are new comic book fans. Luckily, if you have sort of the nerd gene, it gives you great adaptability to new nerd activities.
So, even if you weren't a childhood comic book fan, you could probably pick it up as an adult and get into it. Maybe not to the same degree as someone that was collecting comics when you were a kid -- which would be like me -- but it's not like most civilians that aren't into this stuff that are like, (I just don't understand it.)
In fact, some of them probably know more about the DC Universe than I do because they're actually reading every single thing and memorizing it as opposed to just sort of reading it as entertainment and putting it aside, you know? I'm less concerned with the data and all the statistics; more [focused on] the storylines.
