Marks on Super Max

Red hot scribe Justin Marks was feeling a little chatty recently so he decided to talk to MTV about his Green Arrow film, SUPER MAX (or whatever the hell it’s called now). It’s been reported that since the film takes place in a prison for super villains, we’d be seeing a myriad of known and not so known comic characters but according to Marks, we’ll also be seeing some extremely well known comic characters like Lex Luthor, Edward Nigma aka The Riddler and The Joker. As for the prison itself, Marks had this to say: It’s a very, very awesome prison. I majored in architecture in college, and design is how I actually started in. For ‘Super Max,’ designing that prison, it had to be the kind of thing that was a character in and of itself. We’re in a world where instead of just trying to contain a guy who’s really big, you’re trying to contain a guy who can — in the case of Icicle — who can freeze things. What kind of a cell would a guy like that need in order to have his powers neutralized? So to escape from Super Max they have got to go through the most elaborate heist we’ve ever seen, involving superpowers. Because the prison itself kind of has superpowers!” As for Black Canary, Green Arrow’s wife, who’s been a part of the Arrow mythology for quite a while? She’s not in it.
