Yeah, sorry - this is popping up in several places already so I guess it is a cross-post. Not by me, though. Does that make a difference? How does this internuts thing work, anyways?
Realize that Waid's thing is a pitch, not a treatment. When I write a pitch for someone it's generally a page that gives them a rough idea of what will happen but that mostly conveys the WAY it happens so that they can say, "Nope, sorry, we don't like cuddly and fun stories told in a pop-art style about fetuses from the future coming back to destroy the earth's women," or, "No, we don't have room for a highly eroticized Care Bears/Batman crossover with dark attitude and graphic violence oozing out of its orifices like KY jam." A treatment would describe the plot in detail, how it unfolds and what goes on there-in. And I think, especially in the case of Waid and Wieringo who are known quantities, that saying, "Got room for a fun, happy Aquaman-meets-girl fairy tale," saves everyone time. They can either say, "Sounds good, show us more," or they can say, "No, sorry. DC is just in the business of gangbanging childrens' characters with soiled dildos these days. But thanks for checking in." |
