Steve Englehart (CAC and Comic-Con special guest) has been the lead writer for both Marvel and DC on several occasions and a founding father of Malibu's Ultraverse. His redefinition of Batman and the Joker as mature adults influenced how the characters were depicted in both comics and film for the last three decades.
Travis Langley (
