Some more pages from Batman Annual #1
Jun. 1st, 2012 12:48 pmPlus, some of Scott Snyder's comments on Twitter about altering Mr. Freeze's origin.

And Snyder's Twitter comments:
"On the one hand, he wanted to save Nora, who was frozen - he wanted to heal/revive her. ala sub-zero and hear of ice. On the other, sometimes he's a villain who wants to freeze the world, like in "The Batman" and other stories. Out of love for both versions, we were trying to unite them in a single character who'd have more in common w/batman & still (hopefully) be sympathetic."
"The idea is that he falls in love with the cold for its power and beauty, but refuses to see its destructive qualities & limitations."
