Nick Spencer talks integral nature of Chloe Sullivan to DC

News

Writer Nick Spencer dishes on Smallville’s Chloe Sullivan leaping into the pages of Action Comics‘ Jimmy Olsen co-feature. Here are some tidbits:

Here’s what I’ll say. Chloe’s relationship with Jimmy is what drives the entire story, their history and the current status of their relationship. It is the impetus for everything that happens. That’s all I can say for now.

And this…

going to take us a little while because she’s a supporting character but as I’m telling Jimmy’s story more and more, my hope is “Smallville” fans will look at my portrayal of her and say, “That’s our Chloe. That’s the Chloe that we know.”

That’s real important.

Obviously, there are things that have to change due to continuity, but I’m trying to keep as much as humanly possible. Because, believe me, dude. “Smallville” fans are a very fervent bunch but Chloe “Smallville” fans are the highest order of that.

The thing I would tell them is: “Give it a little time.” Don’t make a snap judgment after the first story. Wait until we’ve told the whole story, and I think by the very end of it, they’ll say: “That’s the Chloe that we know.”
