    Yeah, it took him a while to figure out how to do what he wanted to do. The mysterious appearance and disappearance of the DC Universe is funny, as I'm up to Book IV and haven't noticed it reappear.

        Almost every movie is storyboarded--it helps the director know what the movie will look like, and the production crew to know what they have to build, where to put the cameras, where to put the lights, and so on.

        My previous encounter with Gaiman was his books, so it was interesting to see something with different con
