“I’m never doing anything with Absolute Batman. Take that all the way to the bank. I would do an Absolute Batman cover for $1 million. Okay, so it’s definitely not happening, guys. What a waste of my time to draw Batman. What an absolute waste of my time. Whatever Batman it is. Uh do you think if I did that I’d have an eight and a half hour line? Oh, I got one without it. Guys. I’d rather take meetings with people who want to make movies of Brigade and BloodStrike and all that other stuff. I don’t need Batman. I’ve never been a Batman guy. I walked away from Marvel, and my career only got bigger, hotter, and stronger. Okay. Straight-up work for hire is garbage. I’m not into it.

Call me dude again and I’ll… You know what? I don’t… You’ve got to go. I’m not your bro in the bar, okay? I’m Rob Effing Liefeld.” At which point, Rob Liefeld blocks King Chase. And it looks like it might be catching on…. are we at the birth of a new meme?
