Superman and the Authority #3 - "Grimdark!"

[laughing_tree]

That's the thing, it wasn't so much the Authority characters as it was the Authority concept and what that meant at the end of the 20th century when the powerful people weren't our enemies but were on our side and how poignant and tragic that looks nowadays. But that idea of what if the good guys were on our side, it's more from that and there's not a lot of characters from the Authority, apart from Apollo and the Midnighter, that appear. What I wanted to do was take characters from DC's past who would fit the roles of the Authority: The Engineer becomes Natasha Irons, the niece of Steel, and instead of the magical Doctor, it's the Enchantress, the DC witch, and so on. -- Grant Morrison
