senior moment.
John SiuntresHOST
wonderful.
Al MilgromGUEST
And, you know, Jack Cole and, you know, and going back to Bill Everett, those – in the early 40s, those guys were, like, tremendously creative, and they both created a number of new – characters that people have now forgotten.
Al MilgromGUEST
But the enduring ones, you know, are Plastic Man and Sub-Mariner, but both of them created a number of other successful characters, you know, almost on a par with Simon and Kirby.
Al MilgromGUEST
And who else was I going to say? I don't
ZachHOST
One of my favorite details is that Elongated Man is on Justice League Task Force for a bit.
ZachHOST
My favorite fact about Elongated Man is that he was created in part by Julia Schwartz, who really wanted to create a stretching character similar to Plastic Man, but forgot that dc owned plastic man so he created his own new stretchy man and then found out after the fact
SethHOST
that dc had owned plastic man since the 50s

James McTeigueGUEST
And, you know, I was, uh, friendly with the Wachowskis, you know, we'd spent a lot of time on sets together throughout the world talking about different films, what we'd wanna do next, and it came to be that they'd had a three, um, film writing deal at Warner Brothers before they started The Matrix.
James McTeigueGUEST
One was, uh, Plastic Man, one was Carnivore, and the other was V for Vendetta.
Sonny BunchHOST
Mm-hmm.
James McTeigueGUEST
And so, uh, uh, in the climate of the time, we thought it'd be, like, great to, um, dust off V for Vendetta.

Joe StatonGUEST
And it was in the days when If you went to get a haircut at the barbershop, there would be old comic books laying around.
Joe StatonGUEST
So I would be reading Plastic Man in the barbershop, and I'd be a little kid.
Joe StatonGUEST
And the more I saw in the papers and the more I was around comics, it was just what I wanted to do.
Joe StatonGUEST
It was always kind of a plug of a way I wanted to go.

Lexi RileyHOST
You should know that.
Daniel KalkaHOST
It's reminding me of the Plastic Man script where it's like, we are creating this technology that will make you immortal, but also kind of rubbery.
Lexi RileyHOST
Keep that thought in mind.
