My vote would be Brad Garrett as Frankenstein. He was Peter Boyle's son on #EverybodyLovesRaymond, and Boyle was my favorite Frankenstein's Monster in #YoungFrankenstein. pic.twitter.com/kwpsO2kHEV

That would be a weird choice… casting one of the most handsome men on earth as Frankenstein.

Why haven’t you spoken about Black Heroes, or Milestone nor have you even said “Happy Black History Month” why is DC constantly ignoring their Black Fans and Black heroes?

I'm looking forward to finding out whoever it is you've cast as Frankenstein. I really love DC's take on the character and love that he'll finally be adapted into animation and, hopefully, live-action.

I have two questions: 1. What plans do you have for Flash and Martian manhunter in the new DCU? 2. Will Superman's son (Jon Kent) be in the new DCU?
