Newsarama posted an interview with Dan Didio last Friday about the strange DC teaser image that has so many people talking. It’s definitely a symbolic piece of art (which was obvious before being confirmed) and has many clues scattered within. The only real information that Dido gives out is that the picture reflects events yet to come, the Batman depicted is the current Batman, all the characters shown are from the current Earth, there is literal and symbolic meaning in the positioning and clothing of the heroes, and it is indeed the Atom’s arm in the ground.

This is a very interesting picture and on closer examination the art isn’t half as bad as I originally thought.
