With Batman, with Superman, it’s not like I said, I’m going to make these guys cyphers for the worst of the worst of American perspectives. But I think there’s a reality that it’s getting harder and harder for people to deny that there are biases that are baked into the system. -- John Ridley

It breaks my heart when the work that you do comes out at moments and people ask, “Well, how did you predict this?” I didn’t predict it, but it’s never gone away. It gets modulated -- up or down, louder or more softly -- but violence against Asian-American communities, bigotry, going back months and months when people were openly misnaming the virus that we’re going through and creating an enemy for their own purposes. Then we get here. “How did this happen? This isn’t us. This isn’t America.” Well, yes it is. It painfully is. And it’s not new. You go through the book. The Chinese Exclusion Act. Or Executive Order 9066. Or Vincent Chin. Or what happened in South Central LA -- the stress points between the Black community and the Asian community. None of this is new. I’m never surprised by the violence, by the hatred, by the bigotry that exists. I’m surprised when the supposedly good, reasonable people are surprised that it’s happening. -- John Ridley

I literally had a conversation with Jim Lee yesterday, and he was talking about how one of the things he really appreciated about The Other History is that in some ways it implicitly - if not explicitly - acknowledges that some elements of storytelling have not aged well. And rather than hiding from it or burying it, you acknowledge it. And I do think that's a lot like life: a person who matures looks back on their life and can say, "I wish I had done this differently. I wish I had engaged differently," from the positive to the negative. -- John Ridley

"For me, what I wanted to do, I want it to be honorific of the past. For people who have no idea who Oswald is, give them a taste of his origin story. Do something that's immediate. But yeah, the best thing you can hope for is people go, 'So when are we going to see Lili again? When are we going to see Freida and her gun gals?'

To me, the most wonderful thing is if the corporate power called up and [went], 'Listen, how quickly can you do a limited series or any kind of a series with this characters?' I would love that. Everybody knows how seminal Killing Joke was and how much that was part of the canon for so many years. If any of us, if any of these characters, if any of these moments can be part of the wider storytelling, it's drop the mic, it's walk away. How wonderful would that be?" -- John Ridley
