Interview With Christy Karacas & Steve Warbrick (Creators Of Adult Swim's Superjail)
/
We had a chat with Christy Karacas and Steve Warbrick the creators of the Adult Swim show "Superjail." We chat about how the show came to be, the challenges of Season 3 and more. The season finale of "Superjail" airs on December 9th on Adult Swim.
OtakusandGeeks.com: Let’s start from the very beginning. How did the concept of Superjail come up?
Christy Karacas: We made a short film called “barfight” that adult swim saw and liked—it was a three minute ‘bar fight’ without any main characters or story-which you need for a TV series—so we came up with the idea of a show in a jail because you would always have an excuse for riots and violence and fighting. And then we added rainbows and all kinds of cutesy stuff on top because we love Dr. Suess and all that jazz.
OtakusandGeeks.com: Which was harder to create the storyline or the characters?
Steve Warbrick: The characters seem to be the harder of the two. In an 11 minute show it’s difficult to have characters that have more to them than just what you see.
Christy Karacas: For me I think the characters. I mean they’re super fun to draw but figuring out what makes them tick can be tough. I usually just have fun drawing them and THEN figure out what makes them tick.
OtakusandGeeks.com: Out of all the characters which one was one the biggest challenge to develop?
Christy Karacas: The Warden. It’s his show but in the beginning we weren't sure if he was really insane, or a genius or both. I think of him as a super selfish spoiled megalomaniac man child with A.D.D. and control issues.
Steve Warbrick: I think the Warden was the most difficult. He definitely took the longest to flush out. Partly because he is not so concrete. Pegging him down would have pigeon holed the show a bit.
The Warden
OtakusandGeeks.com: Can you tell us on your decision on the final animation style for the show? Was there any previous styles or concepts for the show, how did you decide on this one?
Alice
Steve Warbrick: As a rule-we never have pop cultural references in the show. I feel like we try to take familiar situations and see how crazy we can make it. But who knows? I could be wrong and maybe a Miley Cyrus joke will stand the test of time.

The Warden
OtakusandGeeks.com: Can you tell us on your decision on the final animation style for the show? Was there any previous styles or concepts for the show, how did you decide on this one?
Christy Karacas: Mostly it’s how I draw, but at the same time there are some
things you consider when designing for animation—like how much detail in the
drawing—things like that. Also we wanted a hand drawn non-computery look, like
something a kid would scribble in his notebook when they really should be
studying.
OtakusandGeeks.com:
Was there any cartoons that help influence you to create the show?
Christy Karacas: Looney Toons! Dr. Suess! Old cartoons on Seasame Street ! Vince Collins!
OtakusandGeeks.com: The show is now in its 3rd
season what were some the challenges of this season compare to the previous
seasons?
Steve Warbrick: I think the real challenge of this
season was combining the first 2 seasons.
Finding the right balance between storyline and action. I think this
season succeeded from that point of view.
Christy Karacas: This season was kind of the smoothest to be honest. I think
first season we were figuring out how to translate the feel of “barfight” into
a show with a stream of conscious cam moves/feel and also lots of gags and
violence. In the second season we really focused on better ‘character driven’
stories and I think in the third it really came together with a good balance of
both. Season three we balanced the yin yang in Superjail.
OtakusandGeeks.com:
As the series progresses we are seeing more development into The Warden
character. Each season he seems to even get more crazy and mad. How has The
Warden changed or progress from previous seasons into season 3?
Steve Warbrick: I think this season you really get a
feel that running Superjail really is a massive task…even if you are whimsical
and slightly magical.
Christy Karacas: Well, like I said before I think a lot of it was figuring
out who he was and what makes him tick, you know? I think season 3 it really came together well.
OtakusandGeeks.com: Christy you also play a few characters
on the show. You play Alice
the hulked up security guard and Jacknife. How did you pick which voice you
would use for each character?
Christy Karacas: Originally we didn't want talking in the show but the
network said no-so we were like –ok-how about just the openings-like this
criminal is so dumb and crude he can’t even talk-he’s like this lizard brained
criminal with the most primal desires-sex-money-booze-food-etc. They control
his behavior and emotions. I also always loved that Italian cartoon ‘la linea’
with this little guy who was one line but he just screamed and yelled-he mostly
screamed and freaked out-that was kind of what I got the idea for Jack Knife from. For Alice ,
I just tried to be a big gruff guy sounding like a girl—but not really
succeeding at it but also not knowing it—kind of like a sexy Marilyn Monroe
crossed with a teenage girl and a big
dumb ox.
Alice
OtakusandGeeks.com: Superjail is truly unique and it’s
unlike anything on television right now. As a comedy show, do you find any
pressure on staying consistent with the jokes, puns or references that the
audience will connect with?
Steve Warbrick: As a rule-we never have pop cultural references in the show. I feel like we try to take familiar situations and see how crazy we can make it. But who knows? I could be wrong and maybe a Miley Cyrus joke will stand the test of time.
Christy Karacas: I think the biggest pressure is keeping the ‘gags’ fresh and
trying to not repeat what we've done. We've done so many gags like ‘head cut
off-follow it to this’ etc. Coming up with clever little twists is what makes
the gags funny, like ‘eyes pop out of head, land on frying pan and are fried
like eggs.’ That’s what makes the violence funny for me—that contrast of super
violent and gross and ridiculous and funny at the same time.
OtakusandGeeks.com: As season 3 is coming to a close. What
can we expect in the future for Superjail?
Christy Karacas: I hope season 4! I hope toys and video games. I hope a live
action movie starring David Wain!!!!!!!!
Steve Warbrick: Hopefully a season 4…and some toys!
Steve Warbrick: Hopefully a season 4…and some toys!
OtakusandGeeks.com:
Here are some questions from the fans of the show? Jaime asked: Christy is there any bloopers that you had
recording Alice
for season 3?
Christy Karacas: Bloopers? Well, not really. Alice is a woman of few words so it’s kind of
hard to mess up her lines.
OtakusandGeeks.com: John asked: Will there be a Superjail
game in the future, maybe for a mobile phone or videogame systems?
Steve Warbrick: Ya…when you finish making it.
Christy Karacas: I wish but don’t know of any.
OtakusandGeeks.com: Nancy asked:
Which characters are you mostly like in terms of humor or personality
Steve Warbrick: I would say a bit of Alice and
a bit of Jared and a bit of the Doctor.
Christy Karacas: I’m probably the most like The Warden. I have huge A.D.D., I’m impulsive, irresponsible, have a bad memory and am creative.
OtakusandGeeks.com:
Finally how can the fans keep in touch with the show?
Steve Warbrick: Follow it on the Adult Swim website.
Christy Karacas: They can follow www.adultswim.com,

NEIL GAIMAN Falls In Love With Dark Horse Comic's HUSBANDS

NEIL GAIMAN FALLS IN LOVE WITH
DARK HORSE’S HUSBANDS!
A “smart and loving romp through genre,” says Gaiman in his introduction to the hard-copy collection of Husbands, a gay-marriage sitcom turned Dark Horse comic series.
DECEMBER 5, MILWAUKIE,
OR—Amidst glowing reviews and a growing fan base, Dark Horse Comics is
thrilled to announce that the digital comic series Husbands has
found a fan in literary legend Neil Gaiman, who penned an introduction
for the Husbands hardcover collection.
Written by Husbands
creators Jane Espenson (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Once Upon a Time) and Brad
Bell (VH1’s Pop Up Video),
Dark Horse’s Husbands is a comic-book continuation of the sitcom phenom,
which tells the story of accidental gay newlyweds Brady and Cheeks. In the
comic, the couple receive a mystical wedding gift that launches them on an epic
adventure—a tongue-in-cheek journey through iconic genre realms—filled with
obstacles that threaten to tear them apart: a superhero showdown, a fairy-tale
fantasy, a Holmesian mystery, an epic galactic battle, a madcap high-school
romp, and a saucy secret-spy thrill ride.
“As a huge fan of Neil
Gaiman, I am thrilled to discover he is a fan of Husbands. Brad Bell and
I wrote the show that we wanted to watch. Now, to find that people we idolize
are also watching? That is beyond gratifying,” exclaims Jane Espenson.
Brad Bell further explains that “switching mediums can be tricky. We didn’t want to just extend the sitcom. We wanted to reinvent what was possible for this story and make a kick-ass comic. I think there could be no better indication that we’ve done so than receiving Neil’s wonderful praise! It’s also such an honor to have Husbands recognized by an icon like Neil Gaiman.”

ET Online/The Insider praises Husbands
by calling it “one of the smartest,
most unique and powerful pieces of entertainment this year.”
In addition to Gaiman’s introduction, the print collection will include exclusive first-draft scripts, conceptual character sketches, notes between the authors, and an all-new cover by artist Ron Chan.

Dragonball: Battle Of The Gods Details
/
Probably the most anticipated anime movie for next year. Dragonball: Battle Of The Gods is slated for released on March 30th 2012. Recently Toei Animation leaked a screenshot and some details of the story. I'm very excited for this film since Dragonball is in my top five anime's of all time.
Story Details - The story takes place several years after the titanic battle with Majin Buu, that determined the fate of the entire universe. Bils, the God of Destruction who maintains the balance of the universe, awakens from a long slumber! Hearing rumors that a Saiyan defeated Freeza, Bils tracks down Goku. Goku is so ecstatic that a tough enemy has appeared after such a long time, he ignores Kaiō’s advice and fights Bils, but cannot do a thing against his overwhelming power and is defeated. Bils leaves, but his eerie remark of “Is there nobody on Earth more worthy to destroy…?” lingers on… Can Goku and co. really stop the God of Destruction?!

Rumor: Darkseid To Be The Villain In Justice League Movie
/
Boy! I tell ya the Justice League rumors do not stop. The latest rumor is a big one and if it turns out to be true, fans will be cheering or sobbing. According to Latino-Review (http://latino-review.com/2012/12/03/exclusive-bad-guy-justice-league/) Darkseid will be the villain for the J.L. movie. Of course this purely just a rumor, since the movie has no director, no cast and not even a finish script. However if down the line we do find out that Darkseid is the villain then I' am with the sobbing side. Mainly because of a villain of Darkseid's stature should be used in a second movie. I'm pretty sure the Justice League can battle the Legion Of Doom (Injustice League) first and then have Darkseid later. Either way I feel there should be a build up to Darkseid, and he shouldn't just appear like hey I'm here to destroy. Lucky for me this is just a rumor. What do you think?

Five Underrated Anime Villains
/
A hero is nothing without a good antagonist. Without the villain the hero quest won't have true meaning or any type of conflict. Today I wanted to give praise to five anime villains that I feel are underrated. These villains have left a mark on the protagonist and has very memorable moments. Leave your choices in the comment section.
King Hamdo (Now & Then, Here & There)
When your villain kidnaps kids, puts them in slavery and even has them killing each other for the sake of your own goal, you're not a villain to mess with. King Hamdo is a paranoid schizo with one goal in mind and that is power. He will sacrifice anyone and everything to achieve his goal, not even animals were safe from his wrath. He's the central reason why the anime "Now & Then, Here & There" was so powerful and heartbreaking. He was truly bone chilling at times, especially when he was around Lala Ru.
Tetsuo (Akira)
In "Akira" Tetsuo played the antagonist to the protagonist of Kaneda. Tetsuo was very power driven and once he discover his gifts he stop at nothing to find the truth behind Akira. He even destroy the military tons of civilians and even his closest friends.
Mr. Me-Mania (Perfect Blue)
Mr. Me-Mania is one hell of a villain. What made him so great is that he didn't talk much, but his actions spoke very clearly. He was obsessed with pop idol Mima and nothing was going to stand in his way of having her, not even Mima himself. He killed many and anybody who thought about bringing harm to his precious Mima and his final scene was bone chilling to say the least.
Johan Liebert (Monster)
Johan is a complete psychopath, a manipulator and he's damn scary. He is purely deserving of the title monster. He kills without any thought, he loves human suffering and thrives on fear. He's usually overlooked as top anime villains, but this is one character I don't want anyone to cross paths with. What makes him even more scary he's a mystery.
Char Aznable
I love Char Aznable he was a really cool villain. He's not as crazy or sadistic as the others, but he's a villain with charm. You can't help but like him, even though his actions sometimes are questionable. He's a military man and does what he feels is right, he is one of the most underrated antagonist in the Gundam world, even though he was one of the first.

He's a military man and does what he feels is right, he is one of the most underrated antagonist in the Gundam world, even though he was one of the first.
