"Brian Azzarello has explained his surprise move into superhero comics. The Wonder Woman writer - who has always shied away from the genre in the past - has revealed that he decided to join the New 52 title after discussing DC Comics&amp;#039; plans for the title over dinner.  He told Time Out Chicago that he was &amp;quot;appalled&amp;quot; by Dan DiDio&amp;#039;s previous plans for the iconic character and offered his own pitch. &amp;quot;I came up with something different right there at dinner,&amp;quot; Azzarello said. &amp;quot;I thought the direction was going to be a mistake for that character, right at her core. And I knew nothing about her!&amp;quot; He was offered the series then and there, and has gone on to centre his critically-acclaimed title around Wonder Woman&amp;#039;s mythological Greek origins, controversially revealing the story of her being made out of clay to be a lie. &amp;quot;I have never met a feminist who didn&amp;#039;t have a father,&amp;quot; said Azzarello, addressing the criticism he has received. The writer has also been working on DC&amp;#039;s Before Watchmen titles The Comedian and Rorschach. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
