why i love comic books (part 3- "Kiss me, Mallah!")
Newsarama.com: And speaking of that... Brain and Mallah. There've been stories going around that their relationship is...a little more than just teammates?
Geoff Johns: Yes. Which is what Grant Morrison established so brilliantly in his run on Doom Patrol. There's a connection between them - they are soulmates in a way no one else can understand, including the Doom Patrol. I think the trick is with the Doom Patrol and the Brotherhood of Evil is that as crazy and as bizarre as they look on the outside, on the inside there are even more cracks and fractures in their sanity. The DCU doesn't have a lot of "weird" characters and we're hoping to but a little more of that unsettling "these guys are super-heroes?" into the team.
NRAMA: But Brain and Mallah...?
GJ: Brain and Mallah.
NRAMA: Sitting in a tree?
GJ: That's how the song goes.
NRAMA: And here, the press was all over Batwoman, when over here, there's a nice brain in a tube cloning a new body so he can physically express his love with his gorilla lover…
