Marv Wolfman, the legendary comic book writer behind The New Teen Titans and Crisis on Infinite Earths, took to social media today to praise filmmaker Zack Snyder’s Ork and his team, who gave life to Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and Deathstroke (Joe). Manganiello), a pair of characters that Wolfman co-created with his collaborator George Perez, in the upcoming superhero epic. Interestingly, the comment ended up buried in a thread, in which Snyder and Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds joked about setting up a viewing party for the Snyder Cut and Green Lantern, where they would sample each other’s signature liquor.
In addition to Snyder (and the movie itself), Wolfman singled out Ray Fisher’s performance as praise. The writer is often involved in adaptations of his past work, having reunited with Manganiello shortly after being cast and even scoring a cameo in The CW’s “Crisis on Infinite Earths.”
“As the comic book writer / dad to Cyborg and Deathstroke, congratulations,” Wolfman told Snyder on Twitter. “You definitely did them justice.”
For his part, Fisher had tweeted a thank you to Wolfman and Perez, saying that he hoped he had made them proud with their participation in the character, and that they enjoyed Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
